Director Evan Marlow,
working with a script provided by his wife, Kerry Finlayson (who also stars),
has delivered a tasty horror treat that is titled Blood Rush. The film will be making its domestic DVD
debut courtesy of Brain Damage Films on Mar. 4.
Not only did Finlayson
write this genre-fan gem, she plays the role of Kara, the heroine of the piece,
and that of her sister Emma, who is not so much evil, but really ticked off
over her philandering husband’s latest sexual adventures. But sibling rivalry is the least of Kara and
Emma’s problems these days.
There’s a virus running
loose in a small rural town and those infected turn into flesh-munching zombies. However, as viewers we only get the story
through flashbacks and cross-cuts to the local town council, who seem to be
simpletons and dangerously unaware of the devastation — and bloodlust — that is
swirling around them.
Throw in a witch doctor
(a voodoo practitioner? … who knows), some damn good zombie bludgeoning
sequences and the isolation and confusion of not knowing what is going on and
you have all the elements of a superb indie horror flick.
In the end, you can run,
you can even hide, but don’t expect your friends to help you … they can only
eat you!
Bonus features for Blood
Rush include filmmaker commentary.
