After taking over screens this summer, horror-comedy “Blood Fest” unleashes its terror and laughs on a bonus-packed Blu-ray+DVD combo pack just in time for Halloween.
Starring Robbie Kay (Peter Pan in “Once Upon a Time,” “Hannibal Rising”), Seychelle Gabriel (“The Spirit,” “Falling Skies,” “Weeds”), Jacob Batalon (“Avengers: Infinity War,” “Spiderman: Homecoming”), and Rooster Teeth’s own Barbara Dunkelman (“RWBY”) with Tate Donovan (“Manchester by the Sea,” “Argo”) and featuring a to-die-for cameo by Zachary Levi (“Thor: Ragnarok,” TV’s “Chuck”), the film is written and directed by Owen Egerton (/“Follow,” author of the novel ‘The Book of Harold, the Illegitimate Son of God’).
Hailed by critics and fans as “an already wild party where someone has spiked the punch” (Kimberley Elizabeth, Nightmare on Film Street), “Blood Fest” follows fans who flock to a festival celebrating the most iconic horror movies, only to discover that the charismatic showman (Egerton) behind the event has a diabolical agenda. As festival attendees start dying off, three teenagers (Kay, Gabriel, Batalon) more schooled in horror-film clichés than practical knowledge about neutralizing psycho killers must band together and battle through various madmen and monstrosities to survive.
The film premiered at SXSW 2018 and screened at the Cleveland, Fantaspoa and Edinburgh International Film Festivals before its packed screening at RTX, followed by a nationwide Fathom release and day-and-date theatrical, digital and On Demand launch in August. As Film Threat warns, “‘Blood Fest’ shoves it right in our faces and then some. Get ready to bleed.”
