A good vampire film.

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.

An implausible, but wonderfully entertaining story.

Natural tale of vampire. Fresh, touch and brutal. Pretty good!

This is an original vampire movie__it's a good and realistic story if really would happened like a sickness.

Scott Leberecht should be commended for his ability to turn a low budget independent flick into somewhat of a surprise success, and Zak Kilberg deserves to be recognized for what should be his breakout performance. I say SEE IT!!!

A complex character-driven drama that never gives too much away, and which captivates the viewer even as its pace slows to a crawl. The balance between mystery and offering clues about the plot is deftly handled, ensuring that the spectator remains ever on his toes, which allows the story to flow organically from the script. This makes it possible to forget that vampire fiction follows set narrative conventions, renewed and recreated in modern American media, to better reflect contemporary society and modern day value-systems. Midnight Son never veers too far away from traditional schemes and tropes, and the tricks and gimmicks it does use will be more than enough to satisfy any dyed-in-the-wool purists out there. The beauty of Midnight Son is we could care less about hard facts. The main spotlight is on the inner conflict of the characters and durability of the human spirit.

An above average entry in the "realistic vampire movie" genre. The standout here is Maya Parish.

What an amazing low budget film!Poetic, simple and strong

A little slow to strt with, but actually a rather enjoyable film & worth a watch. Not a normal 'vampire' style straight away, which makes a nice change.

Thoroughly enjoyed this film. Original and regrettably rare in the genre

if you're looking for a lot of action and killing, this is not the film for you. but if you're looking to appreciate the realisticness of turning into a vampire, you might like it. i would figure that this is probably how it would happen in real life. loved the ending.

100% better than twilight!

a great surprise, my Twilight history.

An extremely dark romantic horror film, Midnight Son takes an original approach to the vampire genre that is constantly surprising and always intelligently done. A film about addiction and the struggle to find love, Midnight Son is never cheesy and is actually fairly moving for a vampire romance.
