Stylish Indie Exploitation Flick BALLET OF BLOOD Comes to Blu-ray

Indie exploitation psychodrama comes to Blu-ray.

THE NEON DEMON may be set to violate theaters this Friday but its micro-budget indie kid sister flick BALLET OF BLOOD is also around and just now appeared on Special Edition Blu-ray from Legless Corpse Films.

The surreal, no-budget BLACK SWAN meets SUSPIRIA quote treads much of the same cutthroat turf as Nicolas Winding Refn’s acclaimed masterpiece and is totally worth a look.

BALLET OF BLOOD is written and directed by Jared Masters and has been earning positive reviews from more esoteric indie horror fans.

We really dug it.

The new Blu has extras that aren’t included on the DVD, including the never-before-seen audition videos, where desperate young thespians bare more than just their acting chops.

Go here to buy the Blu-ray for a mere $10.

Synopsis: After years of emotional abuse and body shaming, two ballerina’s drug-fueled fantasy, of viciously attacking their ballet school, becomes reality. Meanwhile, a nerdy ballerina starts writing a novel based on the events that transpired, deeply offending some for turning such sensitive material into a book, for young audiences. Soon, her and her sister realize every word being typed is somehow altering real life. Will this strange and psychedelic paralleling fantasy carry the sisters, along with anyone else, to a merciless blood-splattered doom?
