Hello again, dear readers! We’re back with our weekly horror and sci-fi home media releases rundown, and tomorrow’s assortment of titles is an interesting bunch, to say the least. Blue Underground is showing some love to Lucio Fulci’s Manhattan Baby this Tuesday, and Scream Factory has put together a Special Edition Blu-ray for Night Creatures as well. And if you’re looking to catch up on some recent horror, V/H/S/94, Richard Bates Jr.’s King Knight, Bleed With Me, and The Exorcism of God are all being released this week as well.
Other titles headed home on April 19th include Alive, Snuff Tapes, and Ghosts of the Ozarks.
Alive
From director Ryuhei Kitamura For the brutal revenge killing of his girlfriend’s rapists, Tenshu is sentenced to die in the electric chair. Resigned to his fate and unremorseful for his crime, he amazingly survives his high voltage execution!

Stars: Lauren Beatty, Greg Bryk, Katharine King So, Michael Ironside, Judith Buchan | Written by Wendy Hill-Tout, Lowell | Directed by Amelia Moses
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.)

After putting a youthful, female-centric spin on vampiredom in “Bleed With Me,” Canadian director Amelia Moses does the same favor for werewolves in “Bloodthirsty.” This sophomore feature is likewise a slow-burning tale set among three primary characters in a remote setting. But this time the script is by producer Wendy Hill-Tout and her daughter, singer-songwriter Lowell, who make the pressures of the music industry integral to the story.
To a degree, that emphasis may disappoint horror fans who want more of the fanged action that takes its time arriving here. But within its modest boundaries, “Bloodthirsty” does a creditable enough job balancing supernatural suspense with the drama of a young artist’s insecurities at a key early career juncture. It may be one big metaphor, but as they go, “Recording a second album made me a monster” has the ring of truth. Brainstorm Media is releasing to VOD on April 23 in the U.

This Friday, Brainstorm Media is set to release one of my favorite festival films of last year - Amelia Moses’ Bloodthirsty. Not only does it feature an incredible performance from Lauren Beatty as a singer/songwriter struggling to write her next record (all while dealing with some lycanthropic tendencies), but it also has an incredible soundtrack to boot, created by Lowell.
Daily Dead recently had the opportunity to speak with Beatty about her involvement with the project as well as collaborating with Moses twice now. Beatty also discussed immersing herself in her role for Bloodthirsty, how advantageous the special makeup effects were for her while playing a werewolf, and more.
Look for Bloodthirsty in theaters and on digital platforms this weekend.
So I know, from speaking with Amelia last year, you two have worked together on two projects now. How did that collaboration between the two of you come together...
