Back in December of last year we brought along a trailer for a micro-budget horror number called BLOOD RUNS COLD. The Swedish flick reportedly cost a measly $5,000 to produce, but you wouldn’t necessarily know it from watching this new teaser for it, as the effects and camera work all look well above average.
Here’s the synopsis: Following a busy year of relative success in the record business, Winona heads back to her tiny hometown in the remote outskirts of Stockholm to stay at a house her manager has rented where she can relax alone and hopefully find the inspiration to write some new songs. As a snowstorm brews and night begins to fall, she manages to find the house but is disappointed to discover it’s not the luxurious retreat she was expecting.
Shortly after settling in, Winona becomes unsettled by the creepy creaking sounds of the old house and decides to head to a bar in town for refreshments and some company. There, she bumps into a former boyfriend and a couple he knows and invites them back to the house for a few drinks. At the end of the night, with everyone either too drunk or too tired to drive home, they decide to crash until morning. But as the four friends prepare to sleep, an unknown presence stirs within the house, one that has been watching and waiting for the right moment to strike.
The flick is being released on DVD in the UK the first week of October via Chelsea Films. It stars Hanna Oldenburg, Patrick Saxe, Andreas Rylander, Elin Hugoson and Ralf Beck; it was directed by Sonny Laguna.
