Exclusive Trailer: First Look at Canadian Thriller BLOOD HONEY
The Canadian indie thriller Blood Honey is coming to Toronto at the Cineplex Yonge-Dundas on September 1st. The following weeks it opens in cinemas for one week runs in Ottawa, Vancouver and Calgary. Our friends at Northern Banner Releasing are handling the release and will bring Jeff Kopas' film to other venues north of the 49 at later dates. Right now Screen Anarchy is pleased to premiere the trailer for the flick.
And here is an interesting bit of trivia for all of you Canuxploitation fans out there. Not that Blood Honey is of the same ilk but looking for the shooting locations I found out that it was filmed here in Toronto and on the east coast of Georgian Bay, well north of anything, in a town called Pointe au Baril. How is this important? Only that the twin brother kickboxing extravaganza Dragon Hunt was filmed there as well! That may mean nothing to you, but for a fan of rare Canadian action cinema this discovery made me giggle.
