Midnight Abyss is a psychological horror film that dwells into the horrors of our own imaginations and nightmares. We follow Tod (Andy Palmer), a regular teenager who appears normal on the outside but is really a trouble individual on the inside. He has been having a reoccurring nightmare that haunts him every night; he is being chased by a silhouetted figure through an eerie forest and no one is around to help him. Towards the end of the dream he hits a dead end and the figure attacks him just before he wakes up. During a lecture in his psychology class the next morning Tod learns more about nightmares and the kinds of psychological effects it can have on the mind, this gives him a chance to try and dissect his own personal nightmare. His best friend, Lucy (Briannah Korin), calls him and invites him over later that night to watch a movie; she has been ill with some sort of unknown sickness and has been confined to her bed for the past week. Tod agrees and later that night they end up watching a horror film involving a vampire (Will Sheffield) chasing after a young woman (Tracy Collins) outside a huge Gothic castle. Being personally terrified of vampires, the movie really gets to Tod. After leaving Lucy's house, he begins to hear and see things on his journey back home and starts to come under the impression that a real vampire is after him. From there we go inside Tod's head and see his nightmares come to life as he struggles to face and overcome his own personal fears.
