Book of Blood
The dead will not be silenced.
Directed by John Harrison
Produced by Plum Films, Scottish Screen
A dark, metaphysically unsettling horror-mystery that uses a haunted house as a gateway between worlds to explore the supernatural consequences of violent death and the persistence of the dead.
Based on the wraparound story penned by Clive Barker in the author's "Books of Blood" collection, the story centers on a paranormal expert who, while investigating a gruesome slaying, finds a house that is at the intersection of "highways" transporting souls to the afterlife.
