Synopsis:
Blood Covered Chocolate centers around a recovering drug addict named Massimo. When he is bitten by an ancient, shapeshifting monster, Massimo must fight to save his girlfriend Tien from the same bloody fate.
Shot in black and white by award-winning cinematographer Neal Tyler, Blood Covered Chocolate acts as both an homage to the one-hundred-year-old F.W. Murnau classic Nosferatu, as well as a commentary on the demons and addictions inherent in modern life. “It’s a side of vampirism that feels fresh and psychologically compelling,” filmmaker Monte Light says. “It’s also an exploration of my own struggles with substance abuse. It’s the most personal movie I’ve ever made.”
Blood Covered Chocolate has also released its poster, painted by famed UK pop artist Simon Pritchard. As you can see (at the bottom of the article), it is also an homage to the long and macabre history of vampires in film, with its hand-painted design inspired by the classic Hammer Horror Film posters of the 1960s.
