La secta de los vampiros

In 1975, a pregnant woman escapes alone from a dangerous sect that worships St. George in Guthrie, Texas, protected by her husband that shoots against the masked members. Thirty years later, her son Charles Milford (Robert Floyd) receives his will and a letter calling him for the funeral of his father, and he travels with his pregnant wife Alicia (Elizabeth Bennett) back to Guthrie. They lodge in a fancy hotel owned by Simon (Armand Assante) and they are introduced to his mistress Iris (Lucila Solá) in the Eve of St Geoge Festival. Sooner they discover that Charles is a descendant of St. George and the blood of his unborn baby is necessary to resurrect the leader of a vampire community.

"Soul's Midnight" is a reasonable low-budget vampire movie. The promising story has a stylish set decoration in the interior of the hotel and a very sexy unknown actress, the Argentinian Lucila Solá. Unfortunately the "hero" is a silly character and probably due to the restraint of budget, there are many situations not well resolved and the city looks like a ghost town without dwellers. My vote is five.

Title (Brazil): "O Sacrifício do Mal" ("The Sacrifice of the Evil")

If you love Vampire lore and are a fan of Gothic horror, then you might want to check out Soul's Midnight. I did not know much about this movie before I watched it, and I wasn't expecting much, but I found the movie to be fun and entertaining.

Starring Armand Assante as the leader of the vampires Simon, Soul's separates itself from other low budget vampire flicks by weaving in the mythology of St. George and the Dragon in a fun new way.

I'm not sure what the budget for this movie was, but I sense that if it was a little more then they might have really been able to hit home the gore and effects.

If you're up late one night and you're in the mood for a fun low budget vampire flick then Soul's Midnight is a good choice.

It was neat to see a film made here in my state, by people from my state (along with some bigger name actors like Armand Assante). I think they had a good idea going, with the St. George thing and all... but the movie just wasn't very coherent from scene to scene and some stuff was just really illogical.

Now, saying this, there were some nice bits of acting and some really intense scenes. This movie would almost fit in the "B" movie category for the way it all comes together.

This movie is okay. If you're from Oklahoma and you're pretty bored, you might enjoy it.
