The critical consensus

In truth, there's a good idea here – the vampire as artistic self-hater – but the film never quite reconciles the histrionic demands of the genre with the down'n'dirty texture it's seeking to create.

***(*)(*)Andrew Pulver, The Guardian, 10/01/2013

Coming to terms with his vampiric cravings provides the basis of a thoughtful tale that is more a twisted romance than a typical shocker.

Allan Hunter, Daily Express, 11/01/2013

Midnight Son is a confident, minor work that hardcore admirers of the True Blood/Twilight cycle will want to seek out.

***(*)(*)Eddie Harrison, The List, 11/01/2013

A bloody and well-acted vampire curio.

***(*)(*)Kim Newman, Empire Online, 11/01/2013

It's a frightening story, plausibly developed within a relatively brief running time, and the central love between the male protagonist increasingly addicted to blood and a girl addicted to cocaine is oddly moving.

Philip French, The Observer, 13/01/2013
