After Midnight

After Midnight (on Tubi, on Freevee via Amazon Prime, on Hulu) is a 2019 romantic monster film that follows Hank after his longtime girlfriend leaves town unannounced. He discovers that a mysterious creature has begun stalking him every night. The description does not do it justice. His exploration of his relationship as he struggles to figure out what went wrong happens as he tries to deal with this monster attacking him in their rural home. Fascinating.

Reviews were positive, including from Roger Ebert's site and The A.V. Club.

  7. I'm also now picturing the song to which Tom referred.
