From the Octane subdivision of IM Global comes the announcement of BLOOD, Nick Murphy’s genre follow up to THE AWAKENING. Surely drumming up business at this year’s AFM, check out the synopsis we have for the film that’s currently in pre-production.
From the pen of Bill Gallagher, BLOOD is found:
When police discover a young girl brutally murdered, and brothers Joe Fairburns (Paul Bettany) and Chrissie Fairburns join their supervisor Robert (Mark Strong) to investigate main suspect Jason Buliegh, a local sex offender and social outcast.
Forced to release Jason from police custody, the Fairburns take matters into their own hands in an attempt to coerce a confession. All the while, Joe and Chrissie’s father Lenny Fairburns (Brian Cox), the former chief of police, remains in the car, a quiet spectator to the fatal tragedy that begins to tear his sons apart. Unspoken secrets and unvoiced suspicions drive the ominous suspense as Joe spirals into an obsessive confrontation between crimes of the present and crimes of the past.
Sounds good enough to me. THE AWAKENING looks like a spooky little chiller, and with Bettany and Cox onboard with BLOOD, I’m definitely interested in seeing the final product.
As always, expect a bunch of BLOOD updates as we move along.
