Life Blood is a 2009 American supernatural horror film directed and produced by Ron Carlson.[1]
On New Year's Eve 1968, lesbian couple Brooke and Rhea encounter the Creator of the Universe while driving on the Pearblossom Highway as they leave a party, after Brooke killed a rapist. The women are laid to rest for 40 years and awaken as vampires on New Year's Day 2009 .
Instructed to devour evil and thereby gain eternal life, the story portrays their first 24 hours of survival as vampiric creatures. Brooke starts to go on a killing spree to prove herself loyal to the Creator, while Rhea tries to put a stop to the chaos that Brooke started after she kills a sheriff, his deputies, a married couple on vacation, and a hitch-hiker.
When Brooke prefers to devour good souls instead of evil souls, Rhea kills Brooke by impaling her with a stop sign. Rhea decides to start her vampire life all over again after telling her story to Lizzy, not knowing that Brooke is still alive, presumably plotting her revenge.[2]
Pearblossom began production in late May 2007,[3] was than renamed Murder World.
Originally titled Pearblossom, it was renamed Life Blood for the DVD release,[4] which came out on 27 April 2010 through Lionsgate in the USA.[5]
It features actress Scout Taylor-Compton, known for portraying Laurie Strode in the horror film remake Halloween, and Electra Avellan who previously appeared in Grindhouse with her twin sister. Taylor-Compton has gone on to say that her appearance is not a starring role, but a cameo.[6]
