Blood Beat
Who can survive its reign of terror?
Directed by Fabrice A. Zaphiratos
Produced by Huskypup Film Productions, Trans World Entertainment
A low-budget 1980s slasher with an incongruous supernatural premise—a Samurai killer haunting rural Wisconsin—that prioritizes atmospheric dread and paranoia over coherence or gore.
Sarah and her boyfriend have decided to spend Christmas at his home in rural Wisconsin. However, upon arriving, she begins to feel a strange presence around her, and a mysterious figure garbed in a Samurai outfit begins murdering the townsfolk.
