Blood Shine Religious Horror Trailer with Emily Bennett & David Call
The intersection of high art and visceral horror just got a whole lot more unsettling with the unveiling of Blood Shine, the latest feature from indie filmmakers Emily Bennett and Justin Brooks.
Dark Sky Films has released the official trailer for the film, promising a striking blend of arthouse sensibility and deeply unsettling folk horror. Set against the desolate backdrop of upstate New York, Blood Shine dives into a chilling spiritual landscape where faith and flesh become intricately intertwined.
At its core, the film explores themes of worship in lonely, sacred rituals. It follows Clara, a religious zealot who seeks light through intense spiritual practices in isolation. Her world is suddenly disrupted when problematic horror director Brighton West travels to the region to complete a screenplay, leading him into an hallucinatory web woven from faith, flesh, and the sublime.
This journey doesn’t just test Brighton’s sanity; it pulls him deeper into a terrifying encounter with Clara and her secluded lair. The film captures the atmosphere of a descent where the sacred morphs into something profoundly disturbing, hinting at very creepy, extra twisted moments once Brighton is fully immersed in this strange religious reality.
The cast is stacked with talent ready to navigate this spiritual and psychological maze. Emily Bennett stars as the enigmatic Clara, perfectly embodying the film’s core tension. She is joined by David Call, who portrays Brighton West, navigating the unfolding madness alongside his co-starring ensemble, including Brendan Sexton III, horror legend Larry Fessenden, and Toby Poser.
With a trailer that promises both beauty and visceral dread, Blood Shine is set to arrive on VOD this August, offering horror fans a deeply atmospheric experience that rewards close attention. Get ready for a journey where the light you seek may lead you straight into the darkness.
