Here for Blood teaser trailer pits a professional wrestler against supernatural evil

The gore-soaked action horror comedy Here for Blood recently screened at FrightFest Glasgow, and on August 25th it will also be screening at the Pigeon Shrine FrightFest in London. There’s no word on when a wider audience will have the chance to see the movie, but while we wait to hear distribution details a teaser trailer for the film has arrived online and can be seen in the embed above.

Directed by Daniel Turres from a screenplay written by James Roberts, Here for Blood has the following synopsis: When his girlfriend, Phoebe, is swamped with college exams; Tom O’Bannon, a rowdy pro-wrestler struggling to make ends meet, agrees to fill in as a last-minute replacement for her well paying babysitting job. Tom arrives at an isolated family home where he meets the precocious 10-year-old Grace. What starts off as a quiet night of pizza and video games quickly spirals into bloody, violent chaos as Tom and Grace find themselves fighting for their lives when an otherworldly cult of masked intruders descend on the home.

The film stars Shawn Roberts, Maya Misaljevic, Joelle Farrow, Tara Spencer-Nairn, Michael Therriault, Samantha Helt, Kelly Penner, Glen Michael Grant, Jesse Buck, Channing Decker, Marqus Bobesich, Jimmy Limb, Marc-Andre Boulanger, Steven Love, John Tench, Holly Jade Balmer, and Dee Snider.

Turres provided the following statement: “Here for Blood was a labour of love brought to life by the hard work and (no pun intended) blood, sweat, and tears of many talented individuals. We found a way to make a completely independent feature film in a fledgling film community without the assistance of any bursaries or film grants. Here for Blood is the culmination of years of hard work; knocking on doors, pounding the pavement, finding creative solutions and carving our own unique path to production and beyond. We hope that by taking on such an ambitious project that we can help open new doors in the Canadian film community, create opportunities, and change the perception of what is possible on an independent level.“
