‘Blood Yolk’ Trailer – Murder Tears a Family Apart in Psychological Horror Film [Exclusive]
Blood isn’t what binds the family at the center of Blood Yolk, a psychological horror thriller that explores the price of redemption.
The film opens in select theaters and on Digital June 11 via Persimmon. Watch our exclusive trailer below.
Returning to her family’s decaying farm to find her missing mother, Croia Boyd uncovers a link between her estranged twin brother and a string of brutal murders.
As the investigation deepens, disturbing memories surface, forcing Croia to confront a terrifying possibility: the darkness she’s chasing may be her own.
Myles Yaksich directs from a script he co-wrote with Dani Alvarado (“Smoke”), who also stars.
Lucca De Oliveira (“Clarice”), Shyan Herndon (Greenland 2: Migration), Kym Wilson (Flirty), Eliza Roberts (Doctor Who: The Movie), Jordan Shappell (Abigail Before Beatrice), Aaron Lyons, Kennedy Martin, and Andrew Simon round out the cast.
“This project was born from a desire to create a film with our friends,” Alvarado explains. “Fully aware that what we were doing was ambitious and even crazy, we anchored the production in fun and camaraderie so that all the hurdles faded into what I look back on as a truly special experience.”
Douglas Noe (“Loki,” Rob Zombie’s Halloween) created the special effects makeup, while Piers Dennis (Frogman) handled the visual effects.

Jennifer E. Montgomery makes her feature directorial debut from a script she co-wrote with director of photography Andrew Davis, inspired by Montgomery’s first-hand experience with tragedy involving her best friend.
“Months before the incident, there were signals that her world was unraveling,” says Montgomery. “I could feel the pressure building, though I didn’t know what form it would take. I never could have known what violence would come, and I certainly never imagined making a film about it.”
Austin Stowell (“NCIS: Origins”), Suraj Sharma (Happy Death Day 2U), Mojean Aria (Reminiscence), Amol Shah (“For All Mankind”), and Zenobia Shroff (“Ms. Marvel”) round out the cast.
Smoke Jumper Films and Mango Monster Productions produce in association with Catchlight Studios (Heretic, The Blackening).
This Tempting Madness is rated R for “language, violence/bloody images, and brief sexuality.”
