3/5

Horror films driven by ideas are thin on the ground, but behind the gory façade of Scott Leberecht's debut feature there ticks some cleverly assembled clockwork.

Better made and imagined than most [horror films].

3/5

Yet another tortured-emo vampire movie, but there's an attempt to inject a dose of plausible realism into proceedings, rather than Twilight's leaden coffee-table stylings.

Cleverly blends horror, romance, drama, and some good old-fashioned blood splatter. It's a genuinely spooky, wholly engrossing film.

Eschews many of the vampire subgenre's tropes to present something more akin to a quietly observed character study.

3/5

Scott Leberecht's promising low-budget horror character study is very much in the vein - pun intended - of early George A Romero.

A simple premise that is well-delivered on a modest budget. The lead actor is particularly solid.

Very enjoyable film with a good lead. Great "modern vampire" tale of a young man who develops a need for human blood.

160109: Though this film is labeled a horror, don't expect something scary. It's an indie look at vampirism. It's no where near the class of Let Me In (2010) but it's not too terribly bad either. Obviously low budget, there are some pretty cool scenes held within. Maya Parish is perfect as the hot little junkie Mary and Tracey Walter appears a Gary the janitor. I like Walter but outside of Conan the Destroyer (1984), he seems to only appear in small part over the years. One of the most memorable to me is Miller in Repo Man (1984) but he has also appeared in City Slickers (1991), Silence of the Lambs (1991), and Young Guns II (1990) to name some of my favorites. I almost forget he existed until I watched this film but it was cool to see him again. For two reasons I'm happy I only paid $2.00 for this film. One, it was inexpensive; and two, it was inexpensive twisted entertainment. It will remain in my collection and I'll likely watch it again sometime.

Too romanticized to a fault, Midnight Son still manages to put a nice spin to a vampire genre
