Gaffes
Despite being cautioned by the night watchman not to tarry retrieving her watch left in the gallery as it's about to close, she ignores his warning, stopping to unwrap the ice pick she finds attached, needlessly risking being too late and locked in the gallery with the killer.

Piero's Assistant: [leaving the scene] We've identified the weapon, Inspector ... It was the same one he used to kill both Nicola's wife and the nurse.
Inspector Piero Terzi: So you'd say it's the same person. Do you really think Nicola's a sex maniac?
Piero's Assistant: I didn't say that. It could be the janitor.
Inspector Piero Terzi: Yeah, I don't think so. He's got a good alibi besides.

You'll Die at Midnight is a mediocre addition to the giallo genre but is still worth a watch for genre fans

I recently watched the Italian giallo 🇮🇹 You'll Die at Midnight (1986) on Tubi. The storyline follows a man who gets into an argument with his wife, who shortly thereafter ends up stabbed to death. He goes on the run from authorities and decides to stay with his ex-girlfriend, who reluctantly agrees to help him. As he searches for clues to clear his name, he's fortunate that his ex-girlfriend is assigned to the case. However, as bodies start piling up, it becomes increasingly hard for him to hide.

This film is directed by Lamberto Bava (Demons) and stars Valeria D'Obici (Escape from the Bronx), Leonardo Treviglio (Titus), Eliana Miglio (Demons), and Paolo Malco (The New York Ripper).

This is a unique giallo that keeps the audience guessing until the very end. The storytelling and dialogue feel like an 80s soap opera at times, despite having a unique and interesting premise. The opening shower scene was disappointing and a far cry from Psycho. The kill scenes are classic giallo, with stalking elements and limited gore but enjoyable stab scenes. The diverse kill settings add an extra layer of interest. The killer's mask was cool and reminded me of Mr. Bean. The final reveal was solid.

In conclusion, You'll Die at Midnight is a mediocre addition to the giallo genre but is still worth a watch for genre fans. I would score this a 5/10 and recommend it with appropriate expectations.
