Blood Shine
Director: Emily Bennett, Justin Brooks Run Time: 90 min. Format: DCP Release Year: 2025
Featuring a post-screening Q&A with directors Emily Bennett and Justin Brooks.
Clara is a woman dedicated to strict religious practices. Brighton is a scummy horror filmmaker trying to write his next script. When the two meet they become intertwined in a ritual that will transform them mind, body, and soul. Emily Bennett stuns both in front of and behind the camera. With strong performances and cameos from indie horror favorites like Larry Fessenden and Toby Poser, BLOOD SHINE is a bloody and surreal film to sink your teeth into. —Tori Potenza
