Hey, guys! I'm just your average American girl on my average vacation!

Where does the time go? The Bloodlust gives you its 50th episode **drum-roll please**, featuring a review of Killer Mermaid (as selected by our lovely listeners & followers), as well as a good old-fashioned round table. This episode is bound to at least be good for some laughs.

Stars: Kristina Klebe, Franco Nero, Natalie Burn, Slobodan Stefanovic

Synopsis: A couple of "American" women take a trip to the Mediterranean coast, where they uncover a long-kept secret beneath an abandoned prison that was inexplicably used by the Nazis for Nazi-things.

We shouldn't even need to show you a trailer for the next movie we'll be reviewing - chances are you've seen the same one about 20 times. However, in case you want to make it 21, here it is again. Next up...The Conjuring 2.

Next up we'll be doing something a little different - we'll be recording an audio commentary track for WolfCop (now available on Netflix). This way, you can run the audio track while you watch the movie and enjoy our ridiculous (and most likely inebriated) commentary.

48 | Green Room

Director: Jeremy Saulnier

Writer: Jeremy Saulnier

Stars: Sir Patrick Stewart, Anton Yelchin, Imogen Poots, Alia Shawkat

Synopsis: Super punky punk band, "Ain't Rights", score a gig playing for a large group of skin heads. But when one of the band members accidentally witnesses a murder at the skin head compound, things go downhill real fast. In the end, it's Nazi-loving skin heads vs punk band kids.

But once everyone gets to the party, it's clear that there is something strange afoot.

This was The Bloodlust's first HorrorHound weekend and it was a successful blast. Without naming names, I can say that two of the three Bloodlust attendees ending up puking (Jamie didn't!). One of The Bloodlust attendees got to meet that guy from Daredevil (Jamie did!). But on a totally, more professional note...we saw some great vendors, met some cool people, and saw some really great horror shorts (I'm going to make the statement that the feature films could've been better). Will we do HorrorHound again? You betcha! It was a really fun weekend and we look forward to meeting more of you next time!

44 | 10 Cloverfield Lane

Director: Dan Trachtenberg

Writer: Josh Campbell, Matthew Stuecken, Damien Chazelle

Stars: John Goodman, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, John Gallagher Jr.

Synopsis: Following an incredibly horrible and jarring car accident, a young woman wakes up to discover she is chained to a wall in some underground bunker. As she comes to, she learns she's been brought there by Howard (John Goodman), who claims some tragic event took place and now everyone above ground is either dead or dying. The woman, Michelle, goes back and forth between believing Howard and thinking he's a threat so, with the help of Emmett (the only other person in the bunker), she tries to uncover the truth.

Join us next time as we review the 2011 film, Kill List, from director Ben Wheatley. We chose Kill List for our next review because Mr. Wheatley is the director of the upcoming movie, High-Rise (4/28/2016), starring Tom Hiddleston (settle down, Suzi), Jeremy Irons, and Sienna Miller. Plus, Kill List is absolutely worth the re-watch.
