Book of Blood Not Bloody

John Harrison is busy in London right now putting the finishing touches on Clive Barker's Book of Blood. With that title, the poster art, knowing Clive Barker and having read the book you would think this would be one bloody film. Well not according to Harrison who answered that question to iF Magazine.

"It has its moments, but it is not a gore-fest. It is more of a supernatural thriller a la THE OTHERS, or THE ORPHANAGE. Very moody. Very character driven. We screened a preview of the first ten minutes at the Frightfest Festival here in London last week. It’s the big U.K. horror festival, and thousands of fans come from all over the U.K., the U.S. and Europe. It went over really well. Big applause. So fingers crossed."

So depsite sounding like it is pretty blood less at least some of the fans have liked what they saw. I'm still surprised however that it is going to be more supernatural than anything else. Doesn't seem like Clive Barkers bag but apparently he is pleased with what he saw as well. So lets hope this film gets a legitimate release.
