MIDNIGHT SON is the story of Jacob, a young man
confined to a life of isolation, due to a rare skin disorder that prevents him
from being exposed to sunlight. His world opens up when he meets Mary, a local
bartender, and falls in love. Tragically, Jacob’s actions become increasingly
bizarre as he struggles to cope with the effects of his worsening condition.
Forced by the disease to drink human blood for sustenance, he must control his
increasingly violent tendencies as local law enforcement narrow their focus on
him as a suspect in a series of grisly murders.
Starring: Zak Kilberg, Maya Parish, Jo D. Jonz, Arlen
Escarpeta, Larry Cedar, Tracey Walter, Juanita Jennings, and Kevin McCorkle

"MIDNIGHT SON is what I would call a 'thinking
man’s horror film'. I can’t enjoy movies targeted to teens, so it’s hard
for me to find anything that plumbs the depths of human fear in a way that
moves me. People should see it if they are looking for a mature, sensitive
story that also appeals to the monster-movie-loving kid inside us all."
-Writer/director Scott Leberecht
