I've never seen it, but about 10 years or so ago it was on at the NFT during an Iranian Cinema season. I was a huge devotee of the Iranian New Wave at the time so only really went to see some of the films by Abbas Kiarostami, Mohsen Makhmalbaf & Dariush Mehrjui.


I found this little bit of info on the director though from reference.com (The print that was advertised at the NFT was definately called "Midnight Terror" rather than "Midnights Cry").

Samuel Khachikian
Samuel Khachikian (b. 1923 , Tabriz Iran, - d. 22 October, 2001, Tehran) was an Armenian-Iranian film director, screenwriter, author, and film editor.
Graduated in history and journalism, he started his career as a stage director for a short period and made his first film, Return in 1953. As a pioneer, he was the first director of Iranian cinema who showed the importance of film directing to the public and was the most popular and influential director. He made forty films, mostly horror and thriller, including some box office hits, which brought him the ironic title of “Iranian Hitchcock”.His son Edwin Khachikian is currently a director in Tehran, Iran. Samuel's brother Souren Khachikian was also heavily involved in the production of his films. Souren's grandson Ara H. Keshishian is currently working as Film Editor in Hollywood, CA.

Nope, nor the African porn I found too.

I work with an African woman who told me that the horror films are more like soap operas with a little witchcraft and black magic as plot devices. She hadn't seen any of the porn so couldn't get the low down on that.

Here's some real Nigerian horror. This was made by a woman who leads witch hunts against children in real life. Some of her followers have been know to kill their own children.

No need for horror when thats what happens in real life.
