Blood Junkie


Blood Junkie originally filmed under the working title Rocky Trails is a 2010 American independent comedy horror movie that was written and directed by Drew Rosas. The film was released on May 20, 2010 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin and was later released on DVD through Troma Entertainment in 2011. The film stars Nick Sommer, Mike Johnson, Emily Treolo, and Sarah Luther, and follows a group of teenagers that go out into the woods to get high but end up getting killed one by one.

Rosas has stated that he began working on Blood Junkie partially as a retaliation against uberstylized horror filmmaking and the unadulterated rebooting and mutilation of the classic 80s franchises but also because it was a stylistic choice based on the materials and film assets I had at my disposal. He created half of the music in the film using a Korg polysynth keyboard and Rosas had several of his friends create the other portions of the movies soundtrack. He had originally planned to make Blood Junkie as a short 3040 minute film, but later decided to stretch the film into a featurelength film, adding more material to the film and allowing the actors to improvise on the set.Critical reception for Blood Junkie was generally positive. Common elements of praise centered around Rosass attempt to make the film feel as if it was made in the 1980s, and HorrorNews.net commented that they would not have known the difference if they had not known the films creation date beforehand. The reviewer for Aint It Cool News marked the film as one of their favorite horror films released so far that year, saying that at first they wondered if this was untalented folks making a bad film or if it was talented folks going out of their way to make a good film that looks like a bad film. Turns out it is the latter. The San Francisco Bay Guardian called it a keeper and said that Troma cant help but release a good movie once in a while. ........
