We keep hearing how hot the vampire film is right now, but lets be honest, Twilight is hot, not vampire movies. The Vampire’s Assistant bombed at the end of 2009, and in 2010 The Twilight Saga: Eclipse raked in $690 million world wide, while Daybreakers and Let Me In struggled to earn $66 million combined.

Unless you have been overdosing in direct-to-DVD vampire flicks, or True Blood is fulfilling your adult blood sucker quota, then you probably just think you’re suffering from vamp fatigue. Director Scott Leberecht is hoping that horror fans agree, and will give his vampire flick a chance. Working from a script he wrote before “vampires were all the rage” Leberecht is looking for distribution and feedback for his new film Midnight Son.

The movie follows 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.
