An Artist Develops A Lust For Blood In The ‘Bliss’ Trailer

This September a brilliant artist, desperate to reignite her creativity, unknowingly stumbles upon something dark, not only finding inspiration but also a new bloodlust, in director Joe Begos (Almost Human, The Mind’s Eye) Bliss. “Known for her dark and macabre artwork, painter Dezzy Donahue (Dora Madison) is in a professional rut. Unable to finish her newest commissioned work, Dezzy looks to reignite her creative juices by letting loose-as in, taking every drug insight and tearing through raucous house parties and heavy metal bars. After a few nights spent with her debauchery-loving friends Courtney (Tru Collins) and Ronnie (Rhys Wakefield), though, Dezzy notices changes within herself. On the positive side, she’s finally painting again, but she’s also developing a strange desire for blood. As someone who has never been able to control her vices in the first place, Dezzy is quickly and violently consumed by this bloodlust.” Bliss arrives in theaters and on digital on September 27, 2019, from Dark Sky

Fans are eagerly awaiting IT: Chapter Two‘s arrival in theaters. And who could blame them? Everything we hear implies that Chapter Two is going to be even more terrifying than 2017’s first installment from director Andy Muschietti. According to actress Jessica Chastain, who stars as adult Beverly, one scene is “Carrie on steroids”. But that’s not all, she stated that the film went through a jaw-dropping 4,500 gallons of fake blood! Just to put that in perspective, that would fill up an average above-ground swimming pool. In the movie there’s a scene…someone said on set that it’s the most blood that’s ever been in a horror film. In a scene,” Chastain told host Jimmy Fallon. She continued, “The next day I was pulling blood out of my eyeballs. It’s scary. “I was like, ‘No, if we’re going to do it, let’s do it.’ I love horror films, I love Carrie, and I said, ‘Let’s make Carrie on steroids.’ And that’s
