So. Much. Blood. Joe Begos’ ‘Bliss’ Trailer Looks Like a Nasty Vampire Trip [Video]

If you’re a fan of Almost Human and The Mind’s Eye, you’re in for a treat with Joe Begos‘ indie vampire bloodbath Bliss, which is set to hold its World Premiere at the forthcoming Tribeca Film Festival.

MPI/Dark Sky Films shares the festival trailer for the film that starts out like a Gaspar Noé-themed vampire party and eventually devolves into a collage of nightmarish imagery and sheer brutality. Blood sprays nonstop as people are bitten and heads are ripped off. This shit looks right up Bloody Disgusting’s alley!

In the film, “Known for her dark and macabre artwork, painter Dezzy Donahue (Dora Madison) is in a professional rut. Unable to finish her newest commissioned work, Dezzy looks to reignite her creative juices by letting loose-as in, taking every drug in sight and tearing through raucous house parties and heavy metal bars. After a few nights spent with her debauchery-loving friends Courtney (Tru Collins) and Ronnie (Rhys Wakefield), though, Dezzy notices changes within herself. On the positive side, she’s finally painting again, but she’s also developing a strange desire for blood. As someone who has never been able to control her vices in the first place, Dezzy is quickly and violently consumed by this bloodlust.”

The press release says Begos has upped the ante with Bliss, which “roars with searing visuals, kinetic energy, an endearing nastiness, and a ferociously all-in lead performance from Madison. Although it’s set in modern-day Los Angeles, Bliss harkens back to the grimy days of New York City grindhouse cinema, when films like Abel Ferrara’s The Driller Killer and Bill Lustig’s Maniac were the norm.”
