One for the Road

2017 · 13 min

A short, sharp shock of feminist vampire horror that feels like a lost 80s VHS nightmare, tense and crimson.

Kristina Leath
Genres
Horror
Tagline
In life and death, there is a need for blood and there is SHE.
Overview
A family road trip takes a crimson shift as mother, father and daughter become prey to a coven of female vampires. This Stephen King "Dollar Baby" is a short feminist multicultural/age homage to 1980's classic American vampire horror. In this re-imagining of the male dominated short story "One For the Road" (sequel to Salem's Lot) WOMEN are the; visceral muse/damsel of acceptance, voices of reason, compassion and pragmatism as well as the cherubim of death and womb-redemption.
How it feels
Dark, tense, eerie and campy. Brisk and needs your attention.
About
