After Midnight
For small town bar-owner Hank (Jeremy Gardner, Bliss), his 10-year relationship with Abby (Brea Grant, A Ghost Story) has been storybook-quality. Abby, however, wants more: marriage, to be exact, which Hank doesn't seem ready to initiate any time soon. As a result, she leaves him without so much as a note or any subsequent communication. Hank is crushed. Even worse, Abby's departure seemingly triggers the arrival of an unseen monster that claws at Hank's front door at night. As the nocturnal threat intensifies, Hank must figure out how to not only save his relationship but also himself.
Critic Reviews:
- " The balance that After Midnight strikes between a two-hander and a monster story warrants a Valentine's Day weekend look, and maybe even a scary conversation. " – Nick Allen
- " Gardner and Grant deliver wonderful, grounded performances. It's not hammy scenery-chewing acting with a capital A. They give earthy, lived-in performances. " – Scott Phillips
- " At its best, After Midnight shows what a low budget independent film can accomplish on both a narrative and visual level. It's a compelling tale of loss, the ups and downs of romantic relationships, and of course, evil bloodthirsty creatures " – Audrey Fox
