Plot Summary
Based on the real-life Richard Speck murders, amoral, nearly psychotic killer Warren Stacey (Gene Davis) is a serial killer who has murdered a number of women; he stabs them while they are naked to minimize leaving any physical evidence. Police detective Leo Kessler (Charles Bronson) is convinced of Stacey’s guilt and, over the objections of his partner, plants evidence to get him behind bars. When Stacey is released on a technicality, he threatens to go after Kessler and his family, leaving Kessler to defend himself against a killer with little help from the police.

Underrated Thriller
This movie is often categorized as an "action/adventure"... I guess because of the awesome screen presence of Charles Bronson. But I'd say it's a mix of cop thriller and slasher. You get naked college girls getting stabbed and slashed by a killer who often leaps out when you least expect him. There's a lot of blood/gore and some of it is truly shocking. Those used to a more modern style of filmmaking may not appreciate "10 To Midnight" but if you enjoy watching the thrillers of yester-year, this is one of the better ones. An underrated 80s gem.
