B-Movie Review
Blood Stains by Blake Vaz was a fun short to watch and the folks behind it obviously knew what they were doing. Here’s hoping this same crew will be given the green light to produce something feature-length. Or, at least another short film. Or something. More! Just more!
Scariest Things
Blood Stains by Blake Vaz is a microcosm of what will hopefully be a feature-length film, some day. With strong characters, great actors, exceptional cinematography and aesthetic, and a riveting plot, I am highly anticipating the release of the feature-length film; if it is as well-executed as this short, it will be marvelous.
