‘After Midnight’ Clip Goes on a Monster Hunt [Exclusive]
Last year, Bloody Disgusting broke the news that indie filmmaker Jeremy Gardner was returning to the director’s chair with Something Else, which he’d co-direct with longtime collaborator Christian Stella, who was DP on The Battery and co-director on the duo’s Tex Montana Will Survive.
Now, after seeing their creature feature have its World Premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival, Cranked Up Films will release the newly titled After Midnight in limited theaters and on VOD platforms this Friday, February 14, 2020. It’s the perfect horror release for Valentine’s Day and the below poster takes advantage with the tagline: “Love will rip your heart out.”
In the film, “Dealing with a girlfriend suddenly leaving is tough enough. But for Hank, heartbreak couldn’t have come at a worse time. There’s also a monster trying to break through his front door every night.”
Starring are Brea Grant, Henry Zebrowski, Justin Benson, Ashley Song, and Nicola Masciotra.
The film was produced by David Lawson (The Endless, Spring). Aaron Moorhead and Justin Benson also produced via their Rustic Films banner. Additional producers include Arvind Harinath of Kavya Films with Venu Kunnappilly executive producing. Tiffany Boyle and Elsa Ramo are co-EPs.
Here’s an exclusive clip from After Midnight.

After scaring up a strong theatrical run, Oddity director Damian McCarthy’s Hokum heads home to Digital this week.
Settle in for a spooky supernatural chiller as Hokum arrives on all Digital platforms to rent or own beginning June 2, followed by a Blu-ray/4K Ultra HD Combo and DVD release on August 11, 2026.
Adam Scott (“Severance”) stars in Hokum as reclusive novelist Ohm Bauman. When he retreats to a remote Irish inn to scatter his parents’ ashes, the staff’s tales of an ancient witch haunting the honeymoon suite take hold of his mind. Disturbing visions and a shocking disappearance draw Ohm into a nightmarish confrontation with the darkest corners of his past.
Peter Coonan (“The Alienist: Angel of Darkness”), David Wilmot (“Station Eleven”), Florence Ordesh (“Departure”), Michael Patric (“Frontier”), Will O’Connell (“Game of Thrones”), Brendan Conroy (“Bodkin”), and Austin Amelio (“The Walking Dead”) also star.
Get a peek at the upcoming physical media release below, including a few special features.
Spooky Pictures’ Roy Lee (Weapons) & Steven Schneider (Insidious) produce alongside Image Nation’s Derek Dauchy (Late Night with the Devil), Tailored Film’s Ruth Treacy, Julianne Forde, & Mairtín de Barra, and Cweature Features’ Ken Kao & Josh Rosenbaum.
I wrote in my review for Bloody Disgusting, “A quaint Irish hotel with a deeply haunted history awaits an American writer in McCarthy’s third outing, continuing his streak for folkloric tales of supernatural karma and spine-tingling terror with a dark sense of humor.”
What’s next from Damian McCarthy? He’s currently writing a haunted house movie, but recent comments suggest he may be moving into other genres beyond that upcoming project.
