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.

Want to skip the small talk? We start our review at 00:12:30
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.
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.
We've had a few suggestions for this one so, without further ado, next time you hear from us, we'll be covering Baskin.
Director: Karyn Kusama
Writer: Phil Hay, Matt Manfredi
Stars: Logan Marshall-Green, Michelle Krusiec, Aiden Lovekamp, Mike Doyle
Synopsis: Will (Logan Marshall-Green) is invited to a dinner party hosted by his x-wife, Eden, and her new husband. Not only that, but all their closest friends will be there and no one has seen each other for the last two years, after the tragedy that caused Will and Eden's divorce. But once everyone gets to the party, it's clear that there is something strange afoot.
Next up, we'll be covering the sort of non-horror horror movie, Green Room. Nazi skin-heads, Patrick Stewart, and dirty punk bands galore. This movie promises an exciting and gorey ride!
Director: Mike Flanagan
Writer: Mike Flanagan, Kate Siegel
Stars: John Gallagher Jr., Kate Siegel, and Michael Trucco
Synopsis: A deaf woman, living alone in the woods, is terrorized by a crazy, crossbow-weilding maniac who is clearly on some kind of lady-killing spree.

Director: Ben Wheatley
Writers: Amy Jump, Ben Wheatley
Stars: Neil Maskell, MyAnna Buring, Harry Simpson, Michael Smiley
Synopsis: Two out-of-work hitmen take a job from a mysterious client, which proves to be much more sinister than they could have ever planned.
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!
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.
