British Vamp Flick ‘Blood + Roses’ Now on VOD
Blood + Roses, the new British vampire flick from Simon Aitken and Independent Runnings, is now available to rent online.
“The story is about Martin (Kane John Scott) and his wife Jane (Marysia Kay) are taking some time off, trying to put the past behind them. But when they get to their holiday cottage, they find that they’re got little love left for each other. Jane attracts the attentions of another man, Seth (Benjamin Green), a vampire who sees something that he wants in Jane. Jane wants it too, but be careful what you wish for…
After one night with Seth, Jane undergoes a painful transformation. A change that gives her more than she ever thought possible. A change that opens her eyes to a conspiracy that has been kept secret from her. But to finalise this transformation, Jane must feed. Can she take a life to secure her own? And how about that delightful husband of hers?”
Starring Marysia Kay (Colour Of The Dark, Forest Of The Damned, Scar Crow), Kane John Scott, Benjamin Green and Axelle Carolyn (Centurion, Doomsday). Directed by Simon Aitken (one of the directors of the forthcoming Portmanteau horror, Habeas Corpus) and written by Ben Woodiwiss.
The story craftily twists he conventions of the vampire mythology on its head and delivers a vicious finale. It has been called a potential turning point for vampire films. Blood + Roses is something of a return to the romanticism that was once so intimately intertwined with the vampire mythos.
The film is available to rent from today for $2.99 via the Blood + Roses website. Viewers can pay by Paypal or Amazon Payments and they will have access to the live stream for 3 days.
The Wayans are out to cancel the Cancel Culture with Scary Movie, and the cast assures it will do just that.
“They sort of have an across-the-board style,” Anna Faris tells EW. “It’s always been a part of the Wayans Brothers, their electricity. ‘Can we offend you? Will you still love us? Come on, you still love us, don’t you?'”
Regina Hall concurs, promising the “boundary-pushing” sixth installment in the horror parody franchise will “offend everyone.”
EW has shared a batch of behind-the-scenes images from Scary Movie, which hits theaters June 5 via Paramount.
Faris and Hall are joined by fellow franchise favorites Marlon Wayans, Shawn Wayans, Dave Sheridan, Lochlyn Munro, Cheri Oteri, Chris Elliott, and Jon Abrahams in the legacy sequel.
The ensemble includes Damon Wayans Jr., Gregg Wayans, Kim Wayans, Benny Zielke, Cameron Scott Roberts, Heidi Gardner, Olivia Rose Keegan, Ruby Snowber, Savannah Lee Nassif, Sydney Park, Kenan Thompson, and Felissa Rose.
Michael Tiddes (A Haunted House) directs from a script by Marlon Wayans, Shawn Wayans, original Scary Movie director Keenen Ivory Wayans, Craig Wayans (Scary Movie 2), and Rick Alvarez (A Haunted House).
The film will slash through reboots, remakes, requels, prequels, sequels, spin-offs, elevated horror, origin stories, anything with the word legacy in it, and every “final chapter” that absolutely isn’t final.
Scary Movie launched in 2000, followed by Scary Movie 2 in 2001. The Wayans’ involvement ended there, but the series continued with 2003’s Scary Movie 3, 2006’s Scary Movie 4, and 2013’s Scary Movie 5.
