For $10 You Can Help Horror Movie ‘Blood Shed’ Get Made

First off I do not know the filmmaker or have any information on them but they recently shared on our facebook page the request for donations to help get their film Blood Shed made. Since I know so many of you are passionate about horror and supporting indie horror I wanted to share the information with you. Perhaps you would like to make a donation and help make this film get made? They are looking to raise $55,000 dollars and if you figure $10 is the price of a movie ticket its a pretty cheap entry point to help an indie film get made.

Here is the information they have supplied on the film, the fundraising and a trailer to close it all up.

BLOOD SHED is a feature-length horror script that we plan to direct & produce into one of the creepiest, most-memorable horror films to ever hit the screen.  90% of the story takes place in one location (a massive self-storage facility) and is written with the potential for sequels (a horror must, right?).  With the combination of cultures, mythologies, and characters, BLOOD SHED has the potential to become a grass roots, crossover sensation amongst American and Latin-American audiences.  The script was recently chosen as a Quarterfinalist in the prestigious 2010 Nicholl Fellowship in Screenwriting run by the Academy Awards.

BLOOD SHED is a chilling, mind-bending, horror film that features a totally new creature, arena, and mythology.  What ’Jaws’ did for people going into the water,’Blood Shed’ will do for anyone having to visit that long-lost storage shed.  BLOOD SHED is an unconventional horror film, which is why our approach to the production, distribution, and interaction with our audience will be just as unconventional.  We want to remain independent, cutting out the middle man and giving you (the audience), the best, most interactive horror experience possible!

THE PRODUCTION

Your investment will enable us to complete the Production and Post-Production of BLOOD SHED, which will include casting & location scouting during Pre-Production. Along with having secured acclaimed actor Brandon Ratcliff (‘Me And You And Everyone We Know’) for our cast, we will be actively pursuing to sign a few other names, including Danny Trejo (‘Machete’). Our production team will be tapping into some of the most cutting-edge film pioneers of the 21st century, helping us with crowd-funding, viral marketing, and alternative means of distribution.

Throughout the production, we’ll maintain a project blog about the film’s progress and post plenty of photos and bonus videos as we want YOU to be as much a part of the production as we are!  The film is set to be released in 2012 and will be shipped out on a Special-Edition DVD set after our LA Premiere (and following its festival run).

THE SYNOPSIS

When GABRIEL, an unemployed loner living in his car, gets an opportunity to make some quick cash, he takes it.  The only catch–he’s now the subject of an indie-documentary about homelessness in LA. After agreeing with the film’s DIRECTOR to go on camera, Gabriel receives a package at his PO Box.  It’s a key to a storage shed. They document as Gabriel goes to the storage shed and opens it.  Inside lay artifacts from his biological parents, with clues to their mysterious disappearance. After Gabriel decides to crash in the shed for the night, he agrees to take the Director’s video camera and document his nightly findings.

Gabriel soon discovers a small community of squatters living within the claustrophobic shed spaces of the massive complex. A mother and her teenage son (TRACE). An old man. A prostitute (DEVON), a meth-head (LUCY), and several other bizarre characters. He also has a run-in with the crass Armenian manager (ARSEN), who is convinced that people are living in their sheds.

Through carefully placed visual teases, we soon discover that a shape-shifting, she-creature lives amongst this dark maze of makeshift dwellings, a sinister purpose arising as she senses the arrival of the facility’s newest resident, Gabriel.

As Gabriel shacks up in the dingy storage shed, he rummages through its stored contents, looking for clues to his biological history, finding only a sad story that seems to lead ultimately to his mother’s (JEZEBEL) murder, and his own abandonment. His soul torn, Gabriel wanders the halls of the large building, coming across the mute Old Man, who warns him to leave. Unbeknownst to Gabriel and the rest, Arsen has locked them in for the night to teach them the ultimate lesson.

The twisting hallways and the tunnels that run below provide a grim setting for the horrid events that will come to pass. A supernatural creature with a thirst for blood and a demented desire to procreate will turn this place into a labyrinth of death, connected in a surprising and bizarre way to Gabriel, a mystery that unfolds as the blood begins to fly.

We find ourselves trapped in this story, laced with dark biblical implications and Mexican Santeria. The bloodshed and tension reach stomach-churning heights as we discover the origins of the creature and the horrific tie between Gabriel and the she-beast that stalks him through the darkness. With an ending certain to haunt your dreams for years to come, BLOOD SHED is a creative and tense romp into the horror genre, reminiscent of some of the greatest horror films ever made (The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Paranormal Activity, The Last Broadcast).
