Unfortunately for them, the party is about to be crashed by a trio of mask-wearing psychos! It’s the New Year though, right? Time to tick some horror movie tropes by drinking and having sex! They hole up at an isolated lodge (of course) as a big storm approaches with a few of group being obnoxious and rude to Travis when he comes knocking. It’s not just the townspeople that Travis has problems with though as a group of young adults have arrived to celebrate the impending New Year. They really don’t want to bothered by any strangers asking questions about missing people. You see, this town has suffered in the past. However, he is treated as though he has leprosy. He is polite and just asking the townspeople if they’ve seen them.

Sometime later, Travis (Hennigan) arrives in a small American town looking for his brother and girlfriend.

It’s a violent opening but incredibly unoriginal, something that bogs down the movie quite a bit. They want to relax but end up being killed by our movies villains. Like all horror movies with these set-ups/premise, the movie opens with a couple having an isolated break in the woods. Minutes to Midnight sees a group of friends terrorised by masked men with murder on their mind. Boasting an impressive cast that includes William Baldwin, Richard Grieco, Bill Moseley, John Hennigan and Viva Bianca.
