Come Aboard Justin Dix’s ‘Blood Vessel’ For A First Look

The first images from Crawlspace director Justin Dix’s new horror film Blood Vessel (a title that fits in more ways than one) are here teasing a terrifying voyage for an unlucky group stranded at sea. Nathan Phillips, Alyssa Sutherland, Christopher Kirby, and John Lloyd Fillingham star in the film set somewhere in the North Atlantic, in 1945. A life raft adrift at sea, and in it, the survivors of a torpedoed hospital ship: With no food, water, or shelter, all seems lost – until an abandoned German minesweeper drifts towards them, giving them a chance at survival. As they explore the ship, it becomes all too clear that some diabolical fate has befallen its German crew. The mystery only deepens when they encounter a young Romanian girl, who leads them to a locked storage room in the bowels of the vessel. Inside, a frantic German sailor and a haul of Nazi treasure, including the ancient sarcophagi of two long-dead vampires…”
