Blood Covered Chocolate is the latest film from writer/director Monte Light, this black-and-white feature opens with a traditionally ordinary image of someone walking down a corridor. As he opens a storage locker, the discovery of a bag of money raises questions as to what’s happening. The man is recovering drug-addict Massimo (Michael Klug), who is celebrating his sobriety with his recovering alcoholic girlfriend, Tien (Christine Nguyen).

Matters become troubled when the recovering drug-addict is manipulated by his crime-boss stepfather, Crate (Joe Altieri), to break up with Tien. While feeling low from how he feels unable to control his life, Massimo finds his circumstances worsened when he’s turned by shapeshifting vampire, Sofia (Meghan Deanna Smith).

Central to this story are the recovering addicts, as the pair...

An homage to F.W. Murnau's Nosferatu, Monte Light’s Blood Covered Chocolate follows a recovering drug addict dealing with a new craving for crimson after being bitten by a monster with a deadly appetite. Ahead of the film's April 7th digital release from Terror Films, we have the trailer to share with Daily Dead readers!

Here's what Monte Light had to say about the making of Blood Covered Chocolate:

“Shot in black-and-white by award-winning cinematographer Neal Tyler, Blood Covered Chocolate acts as an homage to the one-hundred-year-old F.W. Murnau classic Nosferatu. While indebted to the history of cinema, it is also a timely commentary on the demons and addictions inherent in modern life. As an exploration of my own struggles with substance abuse, this is the most personal movie I've ever made.”

The “…Jennifer” films are a series of strange beasts. The first, To Jennifer, was released in 2012 and was the first film (despite the claims from elsewhere) to be shot completely on an iPhone, the iPhone 5 in this case. The sequel, 2Jennifer, was a meta take on the franchise that saw the films director, Hunter Johnson, play a crazed fan who wanted to make a sequel to his favourite film To Jennifer and ended up killing the cast and filmmakers of Bressacks’ film! The third film, From Jennifer, wasn’t released until 2017 and is more of an homage to the first two films, featuring an actress called Jennifer, whose quest for...

*full disclosure: a screener of this film was provided by Sector 5 Films. Director: Frank Merle. Writers: James Cullen Bressack and Frank Merle. Cast: Tony Todd, Derek Mears, Aaron Abrams, Meghan Deanna Smith and Danielle Taddei. #FromJennifer is the third film in the series. This second sequel was preceded by To Jennifer (2013) and 2 Jennifer (2016). This latest production is from director Frank Merle and writer James Cullen Bressack. And, the series comes to a close with a tale of revenge and internet fame. Mostly comedic, a couple of horror veterans, Tony Todd (Candyman, 1992) and Derek Mears (Hatchet III, 2013) anchor the film. But, there are few scary moments here and more laughs. Meanwhile, Jennifer is her own hero and villain, sabotaging her path to success. The third act goes off the deep end. Still, #FromJennifer is an entertaining time, that goes by quite fast, even considering its short seventy-five minute runtime. The story begins with our damaged hero.
