Addicted to ‘Da Sweet Blood of Jesus’ (Trailer)
I have zero interest in Spike Lee’s latest joint.
We just now landed the trailer for Lee’s crowd-funded Da Sweet Blood of Jesus, which had its World Premiere at the 18th Annual American Black Film Festival.
It will release on February 13, 2015 through Gravitas Films.
The film stars Zaraah Abrahams, Stephen Tyrone Williams, “The Wire’s” Michael K. Williams and Felicia Pearson, Steven Hauck and Elvis Nolasco.
Funded through his Kickstarter campaign, the independent romantic horror comedy is described as “Human beings who are addicted to Blood. Funny, Sexy and Bloody. A new kind of love story (and not a remake of Blacula).”
“A Spike Lee Joint, ‘Da Sweet Blood of Jesus’ is a new kind of love story, one that centers on an addiction to blood that once doomed a long forgotten ancient African tribe. When Dr. Hess Green (Stephen Tyrone Williams) is introduced to a mysteriously cursed artifact by an art curator, Lafayette Hightower (Elvis Nolasco), he is uncontrollably drawn into a newfound thirst for blood that overwhelms his soul. He however is not a vampire. Lafayette quickly succumbs to the ravenous nature of the infliction but leaves Hess a transformed man. Soon Lafayette’s wife, Ganja Hightower (Zaraah Abrahams), comes looking for her husband and becomes involved in a dangerous romance with Hess that questions the very nature of love, addiction, sex, and status in our seemingly sophisticated society. A reinterpretation of Bill Gunn’s horror cult film “Ganja & Hess”, which played as a Critics’ Choice at the 1973 Cannes Film Festival, Spike Lee’s stylized thriller features an Original Score by Bruce Hornsby.”

“Protect your friends and family as Jeffrey Tombs comes home for the holidays. Uncover the secrets of the Tombs’ estate as you fight back, rescue your loved ones, and most importantly…
