Horror comedy feature film Here For Blood has been announced as the Closing Gala film for the 16th annual Toronto After Dark Film Festival. The film will premiere on Sunday, October 23 at the Scotiabank Theatre in Toronto.
Here For Blood follows Tom O’Bannon, a rowdy pro-wrestler struggling to make ends meet. He agrees to fill in as a last-minute replacement for his college girlfriend’s well-paying babysitting job. Tom arrives at an isolated family home where he meets the precocious 10-year-old Grace. What starts off as a quiet night of pizza and video games quickly spirals into bloody, violent chaos as Tom and Grace find themselves fighting for their lives when an otherworldly cult of masked intruders descend on the home.
Directed by Daniel Turres, and co-produced by Jacob Windatt and writer James Roberts, Here For Blood stars Canadian actors Shawn Roberts (Heartland, X-Men), Joelle Farrow (Under The Banner Of Heaven), Maya Misaljevic (The Boys), Tara Spencer-Nairn (Corner Gas), Michael Therriault (Chucky – Television Series) and also features American film & music personality Dee Snider.
