Blood Soaked is about a bi-curious female college Freshman who gets kidnapped by two sisters who are the degenerate descendants of German Nazis living out in the American desert, who are trying to create an army of zombie soldiers using zombie serum left over from World War II, in order to rebuild the Third Reich. Describing the film this way, I know it might come across sounding a little you know, cheesy, but the strength of Blood Soaked is that it never goes for camp appeal, rather choosing to play its story straight and to depict its two ill-fated college students as real people who happen to be lesbian, rather than characters who are defined by being lesbian.
In fact, the writing in Blood Soaked is all around strong. Writer/director Peter Grendle understands story structure, and knows how to create interesting, likeable characters. Even...

I’m not sure where exactly to start when talking about Blood Soaked. I considered including a brief plot synopsis so that I could more freely associate with whatever other elements of the film I felt required more discussion. I thought about opening with my surprise that there was archive footage of Adolf Hitler in the opening credits. I even wondered if I’d be called out for bad criticism form for considering just second-screening the rest of the movie ten minutes in.
But really, I can’t talk about anything in Blood Soaked before I talk about its technical limitations. And, really, “technical limitations” is a generous euphemism. The quality of filmmaking on show in much of the film is on par with the worst of what some of my classmates were doing in...

We’re back with another edition of the Indie Spotlight, highlighting recent independent horror news sent our way. Today’s feature includes Save Yourself first details, a new clip from The Well, a look at the first four minutes from Discopath, the teaser trailer for Bestseller, and much more:
New Clip from The Well and Screening Details: “At the edge of an expansive barren valley, all that remains of The Wallace Farm for Wayward Youth is a few hollowed-out husks of buildings. Seventeen-year-old Kendal (Haley Lu Richardson) can barely recall when the Oregon valley was still lush. It’s been a decade since the last rainfall, and society at large has dried up and blown away. Kendal and the few others that remain barely scrape by, while dreaming of escape. When a greedy water baron lays claim to what little of the precious resource remains underground, Kendal must decide whether...

Every now and then an indie flick surfaces that just demand a viewing or so, Peter Grendle’s forthcoming tale Blood Soaked looks to be one of those pictures. Really, who isn’t intrigued by a group of college lesbians fighting for their lives against a group of orphaned Nazis? I know for a fact: I’m all in! The synopsis reads short and sweet, “A lesbian college couple becomes stranded in the middle of nowhere with a pack of orphaned Nazi teenagers hellbent on their demise.” With the trailer now live online, I’ve got to say the flick looks about as cool as that brief summation; lesbians, violence, murder, loads...
