A pulp writer’s mountain retreat becomes a nightmare when elements of his horror stories come to life. Now trapped in an otherworldly purgatory controlled by a depraved being, he must escape with the help of his new love, the woman imprisoned with him.  

SYNOPSIS:

Lake Midnight is an otherworldly tale of mysterious forces and eroticism. In keeping with the works of cult writer H.P. Lovecraft, the main character finds his sanity and sense of morality challenged at every turn. The film has sequences of time-bending horror, as well as moments of jarring violence and lust.

Lake Midnight comes from the same world as films like Re-Animator, Angel Heart, The Hunger, and Jacob’s Ladder.

The works of H.P. Lovecraft are a major source of inspiration for today’s horror writers and filmmakers. Lake Midnight borrows some supernatural ideas from the master of horror fiction.

Some Lovecraftian elements… We have a pulp fiction writer who sees things that can’t be true, and now suspects he might be going mad. He sees the dead rising, bizarre nighttime rituals, and a grotesque monster that is one giant tentacle.

Also relating to Lovecraft, we have an otherworldly being with diminished powers who requires the will of men to break free from an alternate dimension.

It all adds up to a personal story of a man resisting evil and trying desperately to protect both his own soul and that of the girl he loves.
