Director Christopher Ray (Mega Shark vs. Crocosaurus) brings us William Baldwin, Richard Grieco and horror legend Bill Moseley in Minutes to Midnight.  The trailer sets us up for what appears to be the standard slasher story.  A group of friends go to a lodge where terrible murders happened years before.  I wasn’t very impressed at first and was about to write this off as just another remake of the same movie we’ve seen thousands of times.  Then, near the end of the trailer, someone has their skull crushed in with what can only be described as the ball and chain portion of an enormous flail.  If this is the weapon the bad guy is going to be using to kill, this movie just might be worth your time.
