*** Director Marcus Koch in person! ***
Bleak Week goes late night with a downbeat, grisly, practical effects extravaganza from underground FX legend Marcus Koch. You've been warned.
“Like the other Guinea Pig films, Bloodshock is a torture show. The whole point of these movies is to push the envelope not only with disgustingly realistic effects work, but with the genuinely disturbing ideas behind them. To think that people would be able to do things like this to one another in the first place is what really makes a picture like this frightening.” - Ian Jane, Rock! Shock! Pop!
“Unforgiving and sickening. In other words, brilliant material for the squeamish.” - Meredith Brown, Upcoming Horror Movies
“An ultra gore art house expressionistic horror film that aims to break your mind as well as your body.” - Stephen T. Lewis, It’s Bloggin Evil!
A man finds himself trapped and used for medical experiments in an abandoned medical facility. He doesn't understand why or how he got there, but the surgical tortures allow him to experience a new level of pain, sadness, and reality he has never experienced before. As the levels of maniacal mutilation enfolds, he finds himself down the rabbit hole. Grasping onto anything, the tortured finds a way out. Clutching onto what every human being is desperate for... little does he understand, his ending is all of our endings.
