From David Cronenberg producer Pierre David comes a new horror comedy entitled SUMMER’S BLOOD, which is said to be quasi-inspired by THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE. Directed by Lee Demarbre, the film stars Ashley Michele Greene (TWILIGHT), Stephen McHattie (WATCHMEN), Peter Mooney and Barbara Niven. Inside you can check out the art, along with a massive synopsis.
After discovering that her mother has lied about her birth to her estranged father, hardened teenager SUMMER (Ashley Greene, TWILIGHT) hits the road looking to meet the mystery man. Her only clue is a beat-up letter, postmarked from a small town called Massey. Once she arrives in the rural community Summer is rescued from an altercation with the law by a charming local handyman named TOM HOXEY (Peter Mooney, TV’s FALCON BEACH). The couple quickly hits it off and heads back to the house Tom shares with his mother GAIA (Barbara Niven, DEAD AT 17) for a night of casual sex. This decision proves to be the biggest mistake of Summer’s young life.

Hoping to sneak out in the morning and continue the search for her father, Summer is startled by Tom who informs her that he has just changed her plans. After being knocked out by Gaia, Summer wakes up screaming, bound with chains inside a box filled with dirt. As she looks around, she sees a number of lush plants and grow lights, and tucked in the corner, another girl, AMBER (Dani Kind) close to death and similarly chained. Tom has created a “human garden” down in the basement of his family’s home, and Summer is his latest addition.

Realizing that her only chance for escape is to manipulate Tom, Summer begins an unusual relationship with the troubled young man. Anxious about the return of his own father GANT (Stephen McHattie WATCHMEN), a traveling salesman with a taste for blood and women–and dealing with the rising suspicions of Amber’s father DARWIN (Peter Dillon, THE BONE COLLECTOR) threatening to expose all he’s built, Tom finds himself closer to Summer than he ever imagined.
