Man o’ man, ghouls, look who just dropped by the Crypt o’ Xiii! None other than virtuoso producer/die-rector Pearry Teo! Welcome Pearry, why not have a seat right here on this coff… er, I mean sofa, and let’s get down to the horror biz and discuss your latest production Strange Blood!
Famous Monsters. So, what attracted you to ol’ Strange Blood?
Pearry Teo. I was very tired of the generic horror movies out there today. I think there have been too many cliché-ridden movies and I wanted to do something as an homage to the great horror movies like The Fly. I enjoyed the pacing of that movie, where it’s a slow burn rather than trying to cram gore into our mouths. I always wanted to do a horror movie where women are not portrayed as sex objects or running away from a killer. In fact, Gemma...

[Disclaimer: I’m privileged to be one of the few people to have seen Strange Blood already, check out my Strange Blood review here]
Strange Blood, from producer producer Pearry Teo (Necromentia, Witchville), is the feature directorial debut of famed music video director and photographer Chad Michael Ward – who has previously worked with the likes of Static-x and Marilyn Manson. With the film set for a VOD debut later this month, distributors XLrator Media have released a brand new trailer and poster for the film… And you might spot a familiar name pop up on-screen at one point during the trailer.
When a brilliant but obsessive scientist goes to extremes to develop a universal cure for all disease, he finds himself infected with a bizarre parasite that begins to transform him into a bloodthirsty madman. Time running out, and with the aid of his med student assistant, he must find a way to stop the monster that is growing within and prevent the rest of the world from being “cured.”

Chad Michael Ward, the man behind the internationally acclaimed and controversial photo projects such as The Sick Series and The Pain Box as well as director of music videos for artists like Static-x and Marilyn Manson, turns his hand to his first feature – with help from cohort and the other half of TeoWard Productions (hence the name) Pearry Teo – the disturbing psycho-sexual medical horror Strange Blood.

Tagline: "Fear the Cure." Director Pearry Teo (Necromentia, Dead Inside) is set to produce his next horror film, with Chad Michael Ward helming the feature. Casting for the production has just begun. And, the new title is called Strange Blood. Teo will bring some of David Cronenberg's influence into the feature as Strange Blood promises to be a body horror feature, in the vein of Videodrome and The Fly. The film's story involves a strange scientist. He hopes to develop a miracle cure for all potential diseases. Instead, he finds himself infected with a devastating parasite. With little time left to live, the protagonist must find a way to rid himself of the leech inside, or the rest of the world will become infected too. A concept poster for Strange Blood is hosted above. The graphic offers a few interesting details. Compound B and TeoWard are two companies behind the production.

Dead Inside which sees one of my favourite directors Pearry Teo re-team with with his Necromentia cohort Chad Michael Ward, was originally announced back in March and since then I’ve been keeping a close eye on the films official Facebook page waiting for further updates.
It looks like the wait is over as now comes (via Facebook) a new poster and freaky trailer for the film, written and produced by Jennifer Zhang, which is reportedly a mix of western and eastern horror, blending elements of American teen horror such as Scream and Final Destination with Asian fright films along the lines of The Ring and Ju-On.
Sarah, a mentally-disturbed teen, has a jarring premonition of her friends’ impending deaths one night at a sleepover. As her houseguests begin to turn murderously against each other, Sarah must determine whether her visions represent the preventable or the inevitable… or something entirely more sinister.
