BLOOD SHINE
Directors: Emily Bennett & Justin Brooks | 2026 | 100 mins | Horror | English
In upstate New York, Clara is a religious zealot who worships light in lonely, sacred rituals. Brighton West is a horror filmmaker trying to work on his script when a chance encounter with Clara leads him into an hallucinatory web of faith, flesh, and the sublime.
“Beautiful but deadly. Grandiose settings give way to gratuitous violence, highlighting the religious practice at the very heart of the movie – embracing the light and shunning the dark.
– FILMHOUNDS
“Blood Shine is a thoughtful, thoroughly discombobulating horror which feels like a breath of fresh air, or perhaps like the coming of a new dawn.”
–SCI FI NOW
“A beautiful chamberpiece with added cult affectations, Blood Shine is utterly absorbing and further excellence from Bennett and Brooks”
