Plot:
Two sisters who suffered abuse as children at the hands of their sadistic father decide, after his death, to use witchcraft to bring his spirit back to get revenge…
Reviews:
“Granted this amateurish horror has glimpses of something greater with Bressack at the helm, but alas, his skills are drowned in painfully overused horror troupes, cringy acting and a half-hearted script […] Blood Craft’s one big twist and flashes of a Dark Souls styled score from Chris Ridenhour just about keeps you vertical until the end.” Flickering Myth
“Ok, so the premise for this movie – bringing someone back to life to torture him – is a tad far-fetched, even for a horror movie, but it is dealt with in a very inventive and entertaining way, and thanks to strong characters, one’s really drawn into the story.” Search My Trash
” …Blood Craft is actually a pretty effective film. It resists the urge to simply be a Hostel style torture film and goes deeper. Some of their father’s revelations from the grave are shocking and the whole process takes a toll on the sisters. The big twist however may be obvious to some.” Voices from the Balcony
Release:
Blood Craft is playing at festivals through March before a digital release on April 9th.
