"No matter what you wish for, you can never be anything but yourself." The Match Factory has revealed an official promo trailer for an indie animated film titled Blind Willow, Sleeping Woman, marking the feature directorial debut of composer Pierre Földes. This premiered at the Annecy Film Festival and at TIFF this year, and has been released in France and Canada already, but nowhere else just yet. A lost cat, a giant talkative frog, and a tsunami help an unambitious bank employee, his frustrated wife, and a schizophrenic accountant to save Tokyo from an earthquake and find a meaning to their lives. It's based on the Haruki Murakami book of the same name. This sounds like a fascinating animated existential tale of identity and philosophy. The film's initial voice cast includes Marcello Arroyo, Michael Czyz, Zag Dorison, Pierre Földes, Jesse Noah Gruman, Katharine King So, John Vamvas, Nadia Verrucci, and Shoshana Wilder.

Amelia Moses’ Bloodthirsty is a film that landed on my radar in the fall of 2020 and quickly became something of an obsession. I first saw it as a part of the Fantastic Fest virtual event that took place during the first year of the pandemic. In a year that was full of misery, frustration, and the unknown, getting to see a film like this as part of a festival event was a breath of much-needed fresh air. A kickass werewolf movie with a killer soundtrack is a movie that we should be celebrating every single day.
Grey (Lauren Beatty) is a successful indie singer who is beginning work on her new album. The pressure to create a follow-up as successful as her first endeavor is mounting, and she agrees to partner with a successful producer to help her fine-tune the work.

We reviewed Amelia Moses’ Bleed With Me at Fantasia last year. And now her latest feature, Bloodthirsty, co-written by Wendy Hill-Tout and her daughter Lowell, is screening at Frightfest after a successful US festival run. Her first film was a take on vampirism, the second takes on lycanthropy. Can she go two for two in updating classic monsters?
Grey is a singer with a hit debut album. She also has writer’s block and nightmares about becoming a wolf. Dr. Swan gives her pills but they aren’t helping. She might have a cure for her writing issues though. Vaughn Daniels a reclusive producer whose career is equal parts successful and controversial has offered his services. Grey and her girlfriend Charlie (Katharine King So; Transplant) take up residence at his isolated studio.

Released soon after Amelia Moses’ intriguing feature debut Bleed With Me, this is a far more camp and cliched work
Following quickly on the heels of the intriguing Bleed With Me, released in the UK just a couple of weeks ago, this beast-within horror film is directed by Canadian Amelia Moses, collaborating again with lead actor Lauren Beatty. Where Bleed With Me impressed with its willingness to remain ambiguous and use the most basic of tech to create atmosphere, Bloodthirsty is much more front and centre with the gore and the prosthetics and the on-the-nose subtexts. It makes for a much less interesting work, to be honest – one that exposes the cliches embedded in the script which here is not by Moses but Wendy Hill-Tout and mono-monikered musician Lowell. (The latter also wrote the music that plays a crucial role.)

"There's nothing that you have to hide from me." Brainstorm Media has released the first official trailer for Bloodthirsty, an indie horror film from filmmaker Amelia Moses bringing us her second feature after Bleed With Me. This originally premiered at Fantastic Fest and the Telluride Horror Show last year. This fresh new take on werewolves involves an indie singer who is having visions that she is a wolf. When Grey gets an invitation to work with notorious music producer Vaughn Daniels at his remote studio in the woods she begins to find out who she really is. Conceived and written by mother-daughter duo Wendy Hill-Tout and singer-songwriter Lowell, and featuring the original music of Lowell. The film stars Lauren Beatty (Bleed With Me) and Greg Bryk, with Katharine King So in her feature film debut, plus veteran actor Michael Ironside. This looks gnarly and unique, another clever indie reinvention in the werewolf genre.

One of my favorite tropes in horror is whenever the creative process and monstrous transformations intersect, which is why Amelia Moses’ Bloodthirsty ended up being right up my proverbial alley. Anchored by a mesmerizing lead performance from Lauren Beatty, and featuring a soundtrack that just kills it from start to finish, Bloodthirsty pulls no punches when it comes to pulling back the layers on just how all-consuming any artistic endeavor can be for creators, but especially those who also happen to be struggling with the fact that they are transforming into a werewolf and there’s not much they can do about it.
In Bloodthirsty, Beatty plays an indie singer named Grey, who is struggling to put together her second album and also happens to be grappling with some vivid nightmares involving her having very lycanthropic eyes, some teeth trauma, and random appearances of blood. She’s been seeing a...

This year there has been no slow-down of low budget, singular Indie horror films set in an isolated cabin, holiday home or retreat surrounded by the elements. Bloodthirsty does nothing to differentiate itself, this is a watchable yet uncompelling feature from Director Amelia Moses. The focus is on vegan (important) Indie pop wunderkind Grey (Lauren Beatty), and the transformation she feels is required to ensure her next album does not flop. Grey, along with semi-suffering girlfriend Charlie (Katharine King So) shack up with music producer Vaughn (Greg Bryk) and his creepy housekeeper Vera (Judith Buchan) in a remote and snow-swept studio in the woods, which conveniently has a junk yard nearby. The specific process to record the sophomore album and unleash her true potential boils...
