Blood Will Tell: For Immediate Release
Robert Rollins Pictures is pleased to announce in the Fall of 2014 director Robert Rollins will begin shooting his second feature film Blood Will Tell.
Blood Will Tell is a horror-tragedy. The hero, TracyMarch, is a neuroscientist searching for the cure for a rare blood disease that has killed one of his children and stricken the other. Cras Spem Ltd, Tracy’s employer, insists that he stop the blood project and switch back a marketable dementia drug. In a last ditch effort to save his son Tracy starts injecting himself with the drug. Once he has shown it is safe for humans he can do trial injections on his son.
However, the drug in not safe. Tracy pays little attention to the initial changes – increased strength, a sharpened sense of smell and preternatural hearing. To his growing horror he realizes that he has developed a taste, and then, a need for blood. Tracy’s compulsion drives him to desperate measures. Animal blood gives him little relief, so he is forced to hunt humans.
All of Tracy’s efforts to conceal his condition go horribly awry when a biohazard traps employees inside the Cras Spem Ltd building. During the lockdown Tracy’s hunger starts to escalate. When he learns the truth behind his drug’s failure, he loses all control. What follows is a literal blood bath. The wicked are butchered, but Tracy is too far gone to stop his killing. Standing in Tracy’s path is Lani Bergman, his co-worker and lover. Who will survive the final confrontation?
Blood Will Tell is about a blood drinker, but is far from a traditional vampire tale. There are no sparkles, no capes, no bats, no enlarged canines and no delicate neck nips. In spirit, Blood Will Tell is closer to “Dr Jekyll and Mr. Hyde” than to “Dracula.” Tracy is not a demon or supernatural creature, but a man, terribly altered by science. His tragedy is that, in trying to do good, he has unleashed Hell.
Robert Rollins will direct Blood Will Tell from the original screenplay by Edward Fik and Robert Rollins; Craig Russom and Robert Rollins will produce; and Phil Martin is the movie’s director of photography. Tracy March will be played Grant Landry who was featured in "The Lair," "Real Heroes," "Better Half” and in Robert Rollins’ first feature film "Dream Country.”
