Kicking Blood (2021) – Vampiric Projections V: Blood Junkies

Kicking Blood Canada 2021 Regi Blaine Thurier Med Alanna Bale, Luke Bilyk, Benjamin Sutherland 1t 20m DCP Engelsk tale, utekstet Aldersgrense 15 år

Vampyr Anna blir inspirert til å slutte å drikke blod og bli menneske igjen når hun utilsiktet hjelper en sjarmerende alkoholiker med å bli edru. Det eneste problemet er: abstinensene kan ende opp med å drepe henne.

The film’s title refers to the intoxicating kick/high a vampire gets in their bloodstream when they drink a mortal’s blood. But there is also an intense bodily kick that results from addiction withdrawal: Robbie sobering from alcohol, and Anna ‘kicking’ human blood drinking away.

Kicking Blood: A Vampire Love Story, from 2021, is the second entry in Chapter V’s Blood Junkies, from Vampiric Projections. These films treat vampirism as a drug-adjacent addiction to blood.
