Terror strikes when a vacationing family is confronted by an armed murderer in “Blood Conscious”

Blood Conscious (2021) is a horror-thriller where a vacationing family turns the tables on a mass shooter who claims to be fighting demonic forces.

The movie centers on Kevin, his older sister, Brittney, and her fiancé, Tony, who set off to their parents’ lakeside cottage expecting a leisurely weekend getaway. But little did they expect the horror that awaits them. Their holiday turns into a trip from hell as they enter a scene of mass murder, where their parents and neighbors on this side of the lake all lie dead. Terror strikes when the armed murderer confronts them, alleging them to be fighting demonic forces that had possessed them all. They pin him down and lock him up in the cellar, but soon he claims not to be alone down there. As unexpected and traumatic events keep unfolding, they will have to find a way to survive the night without turning on each other, or becoming possessed.

This is the debut feature film for writer, editor, and director Timothy Covell. The main cast is formed by Oghenero Gbaje, DeShawn White, Lenny Thomas, Lori Hammel, Nick Damici, and Jacklyn Collier.

Blood Conscious (2021) was nominated for the Panic Fest Award for Best Film at Panic Fest last April. It was also part of the line-up in Kosmorama Trondheim International Film Festival, Imagine Film Festival, and Chattanooga Film Festival. Now, it is scheduled for a limited theatrical and digital release via Dark Sky Films on August 20, 2021. Here you can watch its official trailer.
