‘Blood Rise – Subspecies V’ Trailer Brings Radu Back to Life for Brand New Full Moon Prequel!
Full Moon’s Subspecies franchise returns with brand new fifth installment Blood Rise – Subspecies V, a prequel that’s coming to the streaming service Full Moon Features this month.
Here’s the plot synopsis for the new movie, directed by Ted Nicolaou…
“Stolen by crusaders on the night of his birth, he has no knowledge of his bloodline: his mother is a demon; his father is a vampire. Trained and exploited by a brotherhood of mystic monks to slay all enemies of the church, fate brings him back one night to the castle of his father, armed with the monster-slaying Sword of Laertes, to destroy the vampire Vladislas and reclaim a holy relic: The Bloodstone.
“The events of that night turn Radu from a noble man into a vampire with no master, setting him on a centuries-long quest for sustenance, and companionship, for the treacherous one who stole him from the sun, and for the Bloodstone he hopes will bring him peace.
“Spanning 500 years in the life of the vampire Radu Vladislas, this long-anticipated prequel to the Subspecies series chronicles Radu’s descent from a noble warrior for the Church to a depraved creature of the night. Series regular Anders Hove (Subspecies, “General Hospital”) returns as the vampire Radu, and Denice Duff (Subspecies, Dark Vengeance) returns to the film series in her new role as Helena. Duff is a familiar face to fans, having played Michelle Morgan for the last three main Subspecies movies. Director Ted Nicolaou also returns, making him one of the only directors to helm every entry in a single horror franchise.”
Anders Hove stars alongside Denice Duff, Kevin Spirtas, Staša Nikolić, Marko Filipović, Petar Arsić, Yulia Graut, Olivera Peruničić, and Jakov Marjanović.
Producers include Justin Martell, Seager Dixon, Matt Manjourides, Miloš Đukelić, and Vladimir Đukelić, with Charles Band on board as Executive Producer.
The Subspecies franchise began with Full Moon’s original movie back in 1991, followed by Bloodstone in 1993, Bloodlust in 1994, Vampire Journals in 1997 and Bloodstorm in 1998.
Galder Gaztelu-Urrutia’s The Platform was a massive hit for Netflix back in 2020, becoming one of the most watched original movies in the streaming service’s history.
Coming soon? The Platform 2! Netflix has shared two first look images from the upcoming sequel this morning, which will again be directed by Galder Gaztelu-Urrutia.
Milena Smit and Hovik Keuchkerian star in The Platform 2.
Netflix previews, “A mysterious figure has managed to establish a new law in The Platform, but can justice truly be enforced in hell? And who will enforce it?”
No word yet on a Netflix premiere date for The Platform 2. Stay tuned.
The first film is set inside a vertical prison system, where inmates are assigned to a level and forced to ration food from a platform that moves between the floors. Inmates on high floors eat better than those below, and one man tries to effect change so everyone gets enough.
Rafael reviewed The Platform for us at TIFF, raving in his 4.5-star write-up: “The Platform takes full advantage of its isolated setting and small cast to instead focus on a high concept, a tight script, and sharp dialogue that will make you laugh as often as it will make you think. This is a funny, heartfelt, at times disgusting, yet also thought-provoking sci-fi thriller that reminds of Bong Joon-ho’s Snowpiercer, but with way better food.”
The Platform also made Daniel Kurland’s Best International Horror Films of 2020 list.
