Bloody Disgusting has the first trailer and a gorgeous poster for Kicking Blood, a dark vampire comedy that had its premiere at last year’s Toronto International Film Festival.
In the film…
“Alanna Bale stars as a modern-day vampire who falls for a charming recovering alcoholic and resolves to quit drinking blood and become human again.”
Luke Bilyk, Vinessa Antoine, Ella Jonas Farlinger, Ben Sutherland and Rosemary Dunsmore also star.
“We wanted to make a meaningful film about the human side of vampires: What do they say about us, about our desires, our appetites, our fears and weaknesses?” director Blaine Thurier told ScreenDaily when announced.
“Vampires suffer through an eternal cycle of murder, getting high off their victims’ blood, and suffering blood hangovers. But for our protagonist, Anna, the emptiness, loneliness, and futility of immortality surfaces after centuries of bloodshed and she starts on a journey to recovery and back to humanity. Kicking Blood approaches this journey with respect while still reflecting the humour in all of it.”
Thurier co-wrote the screenplay to Kicking Blood with Leonard Farlinger.
