Short Film: Where Blood Lies

A ten-minute-long film from 2019 that was directed by Byron Q, this takes us into the Second World War and Romania in 1942.

A group of Nazi soldiers hold villagers and demand to know where the creature is. The man they question claims to not know as he is not from there, he verbally attacks the villagers saying they are not good people but he is a good Christian. He is shot in the head for his trouble.

The Commander (Ben Prendergast) turns his attention to a woman and asks her if she is local and where the creature is, but she doesn’t know. He is about to execute her when a man (David Castro, Immortally Yours) says to stop, he knows where the creature is but warns it has the strength of twenty men – that is exactly why the Nazis are looking for it.

David Castro as the local

When he is leading them, they ask how he knows so much about vampires and he says that a vampire attacked his village, killing his wife. Only he and his ten-years-old daughter survived and she is very ill. I’ll leave it there but you, like I when I watched it, can probably sense where this is going. It is a well shot short, with decent costuming and worth ten-minutes of your day.
