New Trailer For Vampire Horror Film “Bleeding”

Posted on by

bleedingBLEEDING follows Eric, a 17-year-old grieving the overdose death of his brother. When his cousin Sean, the hot-shot son of an alcoholic cop, gets pulled into the lucrative, deadly world of using and selling Blood, Eric will do whatever it takes to save him from the same fate that swallowed his brother whole.

With a debt to a vicious dealer and no way to pay it back, Eric and Sean break into an empty house and find a sleeping girl locked inside. What seems like an answer to their prayers brings new danger, a link to their past, and revelations that will test the bonds of blood and friendship.

“Bleeding delves into the raw and unfiltered realities of addiction, heartbreak, and hope. To me, it’s a personal reminder of the fragility and resilience of the human spirit, finding light in those moments of darkness, and I think it’s a message that’s needed now more than ever”, says producer Bofan Zhang.

BLEEDING is written, directed, and produced by Andrew Bell. Produced by Nicholas Payne Santos, Bofan Zhang, and Kenneth Green. Cinematography by Daniel Cho. Edited by Bell. Composed by Alex Symcox. A 88/90 production.

Peter Klausner’s “Stomach It” to Premiere at NYC Horror Fest Following Festival Run

Posted on by

Writer and director Peter Klausner is set to push horror audiences to their limits with “Stomach It,” a psychological body horror film making its New York premiere on December 6, 2024, at the NYC Horror Film Festival. The screening will take place at LOOK Dine-In Cinema on West 57th Street, with a newly released clip daring viewers to ask, Can you stomach it?

Starring Jon Lee Richardson (Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F), the film follows Joel, a crime scene cleaner who struggles to detach emotionally from the personal possessions of the deceased. During a late-night job, his repressed emotions manifest into a monstrous presence, forcing him to confront his trauma in the most grotesque and literal way possible.

Stomach It continues its festival run after premiering at the Oscar-qualifying Nashville Film Festival, Screamfest, Atlanta Horror Film Festival, Chicago Horror Film Festival, and Mórbido Fest, earning strong early reviews. Bloody Flicks called it “fear and nausea from the very beginning,” while Horror Fuel praised Klausner for creating “an eerie atmosphere and gory body horror.”

Produced by Klausner and Torey Rubin (RWBY, Zall Good) under ISOTRE Films, the film examines how grief and emotional detachment can fester until they become something monstrous.

“I became fascinated by the psychological aspects of crime scene cleaners and how you are expected to emotionally detach,” said Klausner. “This story goes to the core of the most raw and visceral parts of the human psyche and aims to connect with audiences at the deepest levels.”

Stomach It asks what happens when emotions are buried instead of healed, turning trauma into something both terrifying and cathartic.

henryThe acclaimed thriller, starring Michael Rooker will be available on VHS exclusively through Dark Sky selects on November 19th.

It was a true game-changer, a film so upsetting in its blunt depiction of an amoral murderer that it made the slasher films of its time look like cartoons by comparison. HENRY: PORTRAIT OF A SERIAL KILLER became a lightning rod in heated debates about cinema and censorship but has only grown in stature since its first showing in 1986. Now, for the first time, the film will be available as a collectable VHS nationwide exclusively via Dark Sky Selects (darkskyselects.com) on November 19, 2024. Pre-orders for the VHS will be available on darkskyselects.com beginning October 31, 2024.

HENRY: PORTRAIT OF A SERIAL KILLER is a chilling profile of a cold-blooded killer that, 38 years after its historic festival premiere, has lost none of its power to shock. The film, loosely based on a true story, has been hailed as one of the most disturbing and terrifying examinations of mass murderers ever filmed. Henry (Michael Rooker, The Walking Dead) is a psychopathic drifter who has coldly murdered a number of people for no particular reason and without any remorse. Leaving bodies in his wake, Henry makes his way to Chicago, where his he settles into the run-down apartment of his drug-dealing former prison friend and occasional roommate Otis (Tom Towles).

Also moving into the space is Otis’s younger sister Becky (Tracy Arnold), who is fleeing her abusive husband. As she fends off her brother’s incestuous advances, Becky finds herself attracted to Henry – unaware that he, along with Otis, are continuing their murderous rampage.
