Short Film: Blood Bat Terror!

This was a 4-minute film, copyrighted to 2018 and directed by Jeff Frumess, and whilst there was some success in the nature of the photography (and the black and white with grainy effect), the chief reason for watching this is for the crap bat that the title subtly promises and the film subsequently delivers.

It begins with Shiv (Peter Panic!) sharpening stakes. He leaves the house with a large stake strung over shoulder and a bag of smaller stakes and runs through the countryside. The film is silent but the blurb lets us know that he is racing to rescue his bride (Einav Dahaman Fruness).

As he runs through the woods he is attacked by a series of vampires, dubbed Shadow Fiends in the credits, which he overcomes with the smaller stakes. Eventually he faces a bat that is, well the only description is crap but wonderfully so. Of course, the trouble with rescuing anyone from vampires is that you don’t know what state you’ll find them in.

At the time of writing I could not find an IMDb page.
