When his girlfriend is swamped with college exams, Tom O’Bannon (Shawn Roberts), a rowdy pro-wrestler struggling to make ends meet, agrees to fill in as a last-minute replacement for her well-paying babysitting job. Tom arrives at an isolated family home where he meets the precocious 10-year-old Grace (Maya Misaljevic). But what starts off as a quiet night of pizza and video games quickly spirals into bloody, violent, demonic chaos as Tom and Grace find themselves fighting for their lives when an otherworldly cult of masked intruders descend on the home.

Canadian horror strikes again! Taking inspiration from a myriad of home invasion films and occult thrillers And capturing the heavy metal horror ethos of films like Rocktober Blood, Trick or Treat etc. Here For Blood...

It’s a familiar problem: students need to make a bit of money in order to get by, but they also need to find the time to actually do their studying. Phoebe (Joelle Farrow) is dismayed when she realises that she has a babysitting job on the night before her most important exam. She doesn’t want to upset the client and risk her reputation, but she really has to get some time alone with her books. Fortunately, she has a boyfriend, pro-wrestler Tom (Shawn Roberts), who can be persuaded to step in. What could possibly go wrong?

Not, it has to be said, what many viewers will be expecting. A lot has changed since the days of Three Men And A Baby and Kindergarten Cop. Most people now comprehend that men are capable of taking on childcare roles, even if they’re muscular and loud in other contexts. Though a little nervous as.

The cold open of Tadff’s closing night feature isn’t perfect. The shots feel cheap, the blood is too red, and the edit takes a bit too long to show us the victim’s scream. But what shouts “clunky, cheap, and bloody,” ends up quickly morphing into, “jaw shattering, inexpensive, and bloody.” Here for Blood is a thick hero’s slow walk to victory that passes through horror sub-genres like a jaunt through a neighborhood haunted house.

Tom O’Bannon (Shawn Roberts) is down on his luck, earning a measly twenty bucks for a night of wrestling. So is his girlfriend, Phoebe (Joelle Farrow), but she has a chance if she can balance studying for exams with her three jobs. To help her out, Tom agrees to take on her babysitting job for the night, keeping an eye on plucky young Grace (Maya Misaljevic) in her mother and stepfather’s lustrous home.

Stars: Katie Douglas, Celina Martin, Sara Canning, Peter Outerbridge, Amalia Williamson, Kate Vickery, Joelle Farrow, Josette Halpert, Shanice Johnson, Yasmin Lau, Kiana Madeira | Written and Directed by Danishka Esterhazy

Until she is reunited with Sophia – the former friend who betrayed her – who has stopped taking her prescribed medication and now has so many questions about their clearly run down institution. Together the girls embark on a dangerous search to uncover the horrifying truth behind their submissive incarceration.

A dystopian sci-fi thriller inspired by Logan’s Run and its concept of a hero who uncovered the truth about society by questioning everything he had been taught by the system; and Jane Eyre, in particular the early...
