One of their annual traditions is to play a game called Midnight Kiss, a sexy but ultimately dangerous challenge to find that special someone to help you ring in the New Year. As friendships have grown strained with secrets, jealousy and resentment, the group faces another challenge when a sadistic killer wants in on the game. Relationships are put to the test and truths are revealed as the night turns into a fight for survival.
In the tradition of Scream, Hulu's Midnight Kiss opens with the introduction of the character who doesn't stick around very long. Ryan, we barely knew ya! Like Janet Leigh in Psycho, Ryan hops into the shower one last time before the slashing begins.
Will Westwater
The studly Will Westwater plays Ryan in the films opening sequence, and sadly doesn't get to join his friends for New Years Eve. Director Carter Smith doesn't shy away from showing Ryan's rear in all it's glory, it's fully on display without any quick cuts or edits. Westwataer is just one of five actors whose butts gets great exposure in Midnight Kiss.
Until I was alerted to this film by Nick, I'd never heard of Hulu's Into The Dark. In researching the film, it was great to hear that Blumhouse, the production company for the series, insisted that the film makers hire all gay actors for the gay roles in the film. The producers managed to get a talented and appealing group of young actors to fill the five principal roles.
Augustus Prew
I was first introduced to actor Augustus Prew in 2010 when he co-starred with Zac Efron in The Life And Death Of Charlie St. Cloud. Some of you might know the talented actor from his roles on television shows including: The Borgias, Prison Break and The Morning Show. Prew will next be seen in the television adaptation of The Lord of the Rings.
Although it's a difficult call, I think my favorite character and actor in Midnight Kiss is Logan played by Lukas Cage. I hadn't heard of Cage before, but plan on keeping my eye on him. Cage appeared in the show Love Victor, a show that's on my cue to watch one of these days.
