Exclusive ‘Bloodline’ Images Highlight a Vigilante Seann William Scott
Another Blumhouse movie that’s quietly making the festival rounds is Bloodline, which made its debut at last year’s Fantastic Fest before getting a release this coming September 20th via Momentum Pictures. It will open in limited theaters and VOD platforms day and date.
Seann William Scott stars in the Henry Jacobson-directed film as Evan, a man who values family above all else, and anyone who gets between him, his wife, and newborn son learn that the hard way. But when it comes to violent tendencies, it seems the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. The film also stars Mariela Garriga and Dale Dickey.
Kalyn reviewed the film out of the World Premiere and wrote that it’s a “blood-soaked homage to De Palma.” She added, “It’s refreshing to see Seann William Scott in a role deserving of his talents, as he proves that he does indeed possess within him the rare ability to flip on a dime.”
Bloodline hails from the same company (Divide/Conquer) behind Cam, Thriller, Totem, The Wind, and even our V/H/S: Viral.
Zazie Beetz must fight her way through a New York City high-rise serving as a temple to Satan in They Will Kill You, and it’s officially set to make its global streaming debut next week.
They Will Kill You begins streaming exclusively on HBO Max on Friday, June 12. The film will debut on HBO linear on June 13 at 8:00 p.m. ET.
Beetz leads the cast as Asia, who must survive the night at the Virgil, a demonic cult’s mysterious and twisted death-trap of a lair, before becoming their next offering. Patricia Arquette, Myha’La, Paterson Joseph, Tom Felton, and Heather Graham also star.
Kirill Sokolov (Why Don’t You Just Die!) directs from a script he co-wrote with Alex Litvak (Predators).
IT filmmaker Andy Muschietti produces alongside Barbara Muschietti and Dan Kagan. Executive producers include Sokolov, Litvak, Russell Ackerman, John Schoenfelder, and Carl Hampe.
The raucous action horror comedy delivers on blood-splattery fun, but was overshadowed by high profile sequel Ready or Not 2: Here I Come. It’s worth a watch for the talented cast, who commit to Sokolov’s zany action horror beats, include a rogue eyeball.
I wrote in my SXSW review, “Sokolov’s striking composition, dedication to carnage-fueled stunts and fight choreography, and an all-too-game cast anchored by a dedicated and fierce Zazie Beetz prevent this slight but energetic crowd-pleaser from careening off the rails.” And, “it’s so brazen and unabashed in its pursuit of cinematic thrills and splatstick chills that it succeeds in its aim, which is to deliver a riotously great time at the theater.”
