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!

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.

Next we'll be checking out Southbound, an indie-horror anthology directed (and produced) by Radio Silence. For those of you keeping track, Radio Silence is responsible for one of our favorite V/H/S segments, 10/31/98, and we've been pretty excited to see what else they've been up to (haven't gotten around to checking out Devil's Due yet...). We're excited to watch & discuss this one!
