A refreshing take on the vampire genre, good acting throughout and fresh ideas. Not your typical vampire yarn and thankfully a million miles away from the Twilight Saga. Jacob is both believable and likable and the actor did an amazing job in portraying him.Tastefully filmed and and cleverly done, this is one of those films that you could go back and watch again and again.If I could change anything about it, it would be the title; 'Midnight Son' - granted, it's an interesting name but I'm not sure if it lends much to the film. Overall, great acting, great plot, great filming! Will definitely be on the look out for more of Scott Leberechts work! A solid 7/10 :)

man this is a load of crap! seriously, i mean it took the whole movie for him to come to the full fact that he is a vampire! the whole movie! the only sensible kill is the last few seconds of the movie and that was purely coincidental. just like take shelter, where are these producers/directors/writers getting these half baked and malnourished ideas to put in a movie? its so lame and corny. the dude saved the girls life only to leave her locked in a room dying of hunger and still has the nerve to return without any blood for her, if that cop wasn't on his tail she would have most likely died in his stupid pathetic arms. this movie is rubbish.

I have been a fan of vampire films since I was young, and grew up with the classic vampire myths, no day walkers, no fighting werewolf's and no teenage never die over the top Hollywood type of films. Sure there are some great films about bloodsuckers that had huge budgets, great cast. great script, and then there are all those oh so forgettable cheap teen kiss love over the top vampire films of late, but this small budget B grade film fits in with the better ones.Don't sit there and wait for a well know actor to show up, the acting is kind of stiff at times, not to much blood, but those short comings are well made up for with a fresh new story line, sure it sort of grabs bits of other films, but it still stands by it self.It is well paced, direct to the point, and a whole lot better then some of the garbage of late, give it a go! I gave it a 7 out of 10

This played at the 2011 Minneapolis/St. Paul Film Festival as one of the "Late Night" offerings, and its labeling as a "vampire" movie probably discouraged some potential viewers. Let's face it, vampire movies have been done to death with all the creative juices long since having been drained out of them -- right? Writer-director Scott Leberecht, however, has somehow found a way to approach this material in such a way that, almost without your realizing it, and without resorting to any of the usual gimmicks, he's created a small, quiet movie that slowly gets under your skin and haunts the corners of your mind. The final image, resembling a Mayan frieze, will burn into your memory. Praise goes to lead actors Zak Kilberg and Maya Parish with a special nod to Jo D. Jonz as the worker in a hospital blood lab. While not as good as last year's "The Revenant," this can at least be mentioned in the same breath and that's high praise indeed.
