We first told you about Blood + Roses way back in 2008. Never let it be said we don't keep tabs on things around here for ya! The toothy little vampire flick is available now in the States, and all you have to do to see it is order yourself a copy!
From the Press Release
Blood + Roses, the new British vampire flick from Simon Aitken (one of the directors of the forthcoming Portmanteau horror, Habeas Corpus) and Independent Runnings, is now available to buy exclusively from Amazon.com.
The story is about Martin (Kane John Scott) and his wife, Jane, (Marysia Kay), who are taking some time off, trying to put the past behind them. But when they get to their holiday cottage, they find that they're got little love left for each other. Jane attracts the attentions of another man, Seth (Benjamin Green), a vampire who sees something that he wants in Jane.

Rating: 6.5 out of 10
I love a good tale of vampires struggling with their inner demons but considering how prominently and thoroughly Anne Rice’s take on that struggle has embedded itself in popular culture, many of the films that have come since the introduction of Louis have been a variation on themes directly drawn from Rice’s work. That’s not a bad thing but after a while, it gets boring.
Enter British filmmaker Simon Aitken who, for his first full length feature, tackles Ben Woodwiss’ script which plays on some of the themes and plot lines were familiar with. But Blood + Roses, as familiar as the story feels, manages to breathe some new life into the struggle to lose humanity completely and take on the life of hunter.
The story focuses on Jane and Martin,...

Beware the Moon director Paul Davis has his horror-loving hands into a lot of things in the UK, including we hear an especially gory cameo in the upcoming flick Burke and Hare that fans are really gonna dig, but today the young filmmaker took some time out of his schedule to update us on two projects he's been working on -- S.C.U.M. and Gladiators vs. Werewolves.
"Right now I'm doing 4th draft revisions on my story called 'S.C.U.M' (part of the Habeus Corpus anthology), which was written by the very talented Ben Woodiwiss," says Davis. "It's about a female art student who becomes ... 'enamored' I guess is the right word for it ... with the ideologies of men being murdered for the sake of art. It's different from the other stories, which is what I think attracted me to it in the first place. It's going to be bloody,...
