“I conceived Blood Conscious as a film that takes place the day after a slasher film,” writer-director Timothy Covell explains. “But instead of opening on the lone survivor of a campground massacre, we focus on the family who finds him, setting in motion a chain of paranoia that leads to even more bloodshed over the course of the ensuing night.”
We’ve learned today that Covell’s Blood Conscious will be released by Dark Sky Films this month, coming to select theaters and Digital/VOD platforms on August 20, 2021.
Opening cities include:
- International Horror & Scifi Film Festival/Phoenix, AZ
- Popcorn Frights Film Festival/Miami, FL
- Gateway Film Center/Columbus, OH
- Screenland Cinemas/Kansas City, MO
- FilmBar/Phoenix, AZ
- Facets Cinematheque/Chicago, IL
In the film, “Kevin, his older sister, Brittney, and her fiancé, Tony, set off to their parents’ lakeside cottage expecting a leisurely weekend getaway, but little did they expect the horror that awaits them. Their holiday turns into a trip from hell as they enter a scene of mass murder, where their parents and neighbors this side of the lake all lie dead.
“Terror strikes when the armed murderer confronts them, alleging to be fighting demonic forces that had possessed them all. They pin him down and lock him up in the cellar, but soon he claims to not to be alone down there. As unexpected and traumatic events keep unfolding, they will have to find a way to survive the night without turning on each other, or becoming possessed.”
Nick Damici (Late Phases), DeShawn White, Lenny Thomas, and Oghenero Gbaje star.
