[News] THE BLOODHOUND Hits VOD on March 15 & Blu-ray on March 22

Arrow Video will release Patrick Picard’s debut feature THE BLOODHOUND in the US and UK on VOD on March 15th, and Blu-ray on March 22nd, 2021

First-time feature director Patrick Picard brings a fresh take to one of the best-known stories from the master of mystery and the macabre, Edgar Allan Poe, The Fall of the House of Usher, in his new slow-burner horror-thriller THE BLOODHOUND, a hauntingly atmospheric tale described by The Hollywood News as “an impressively stylish and intellectual debut”. To learn more about what we thought of the film, check out our review.

Francis (Liam Aiken, A Series of Unfortunate Events), a dispossessed young man, is summoned to the secluded home of his wealthy childhood friend, JP Luret (Joe Adler, The Maze Runner), who is suffering from a mysterious affliction. Upon his arrival, Francis realizes that JP and his ethereal twin sister Vivian (Annalise Basso, “Snowpiercer“) are the sole surviving members of the privileged Luret family, whose legacy has been one of depression and self-destruction, and the only occupants of their family estate. As the old friends attempt to reconnect, a number of inexplicable incidents begin to occur within the house, and Francis finds himself drawn into a world of malaise and despair, where an act of betrayal might provide his only way out…

From producers Leal Naim and Thomas R. Burke, of The Endless and Synchronic, and featuring some remarkable performances from its trio of lead actors, THE BLOODHOUND leads you on a journey exploring themes that are as relevant to today as ever before, such as the yearning for emotional connection, the perils of social isolation and the fragility of mental health.

Brand new audio commentary by director Patrick Picard and editor David Scorca
Four experimental short films by director Patrick Picard: Bad Dream, The Muffled Hammerfall in Action, The Mosaic Code, and Wiggleworm
On the Trail of THE BLOODHOUND: Behind the Scenes of a Modern Chiller exclusive 45-minute making-of featurette
