A few months ago, we heard that Session 9 (watch it HERE) director Brad Anderson’s new horror film Blood had secured a North American and UK distribution deal with Vertical Entertainment. Now it has been announced that Vertical is planning to give the film a theatrical release on January 27th, with a VOD release to follow on January 31st. And along with that announcement comes the unveiling of the film’s trailer, which you can check out in the embed above!
Scripted by Will Honley, Blood stars Michelle Monaghan (Kiss Kiss Bang Bang) as Jess, a nurse and mother recently separated from her husband, who moves with her daughter Tyler and young son Owen back into her old farmhouse. Shortly after settling in, Owen’s dog escapes into the woods and returns days later, blood-soaked and rabid. When he attacks and bites Owen, the resulting infection from the bite grows more alarming by the day as Owen’s behavior becomes frightening and deadly. As he spirals deeper into the depths of the illness, Jess discovers a disturbing cure, which makes her question how far she is willing to go to keep her child alive.
Monaghan is joined in the cast by Skeet Ulrich (Scream) as Jess’s estranged husband, Skylar Morgan Jones (Terror in the Woods) as her daughter Tyler, and Finlay Wojtak-Hissong (The Banana Splits Movie) as her son Owen. June B. Wilde (Final Destination 5), Rodrigo Beilfuss (Intersection), and Erik Athavale (Orphan: First Kill) are also in the cast.
A Rhea Films and H2L Media Group production, Blood was financed by Hercules Film Fund. Paris Kassidokostas Latsis and Terry Dougas produced for Hercules, with Gary Levinsohn and Billy Hines producing for H2L Media Group. Hercules’ Jean-Luc De Fanti serves as executive producer alongside Anderson, Steven Sims, Ryan Bartecki, Alexis Varouxakis, Max Work, and Daniel Bekerman.
I am a big fan of Session 9, which guaranteed that I will watch any movie Brad Anderson ever makes. So I will definitely be watching Blood in January. What did you think of the Blood trailer? Let us know by leaving a comment below.
