We first told you about Blood + Roses way back in 2008. Never let it be said we don't keep tabs on things around here for ya! The toothy little vampire flick is available now in the States, and all you have to do to see it is order yourself a copy!
From the Press Release
Blood + Roses, the new British vampire flick from Simon Aitken (one of the directors of the forthcoming Portmanteau horror, Habeas Corpus) and Independent Runnings, is now available to buy exclusively from Amazon.com.
The story is about Martin (Kane John Scott) and his wife, Jane, (Marysia Kay), who are taking some time off, trying to put the past behind them. But when they get to their holiday cottage, they find that they're got little love left for each other. Jane attracts the attentions of another man, Seth (Benjamin Green), a vampire who sees something that he wants in Jane.

Year: 2009
Director: Simon Aitken
Writer: Ben Woodiwiss

Review by: Marina Antunes
Rating: 6.5 out of 10
I love a good tale of vampires struggling with their inner demons but considering how prominently and thoroughly Anne Rice’s take on that struggle has embedded itself in popular culture, many of the films that have come since the introduction of Louis have been a variation on themes directly drawn from Rice’s work. That’s not a bad thing but after a while, it gets boring.
Enter British filmmaker Simon Aitken who, for his first full length feature, tackles Ben Woodwiss’ script which plays on some of the themes and plot lines were familiar with. But Blood + Roses, as familiar as the story feels, manages to breathe some new life into the struggle to lose humanity completely and take on the life of hunter.
The story focuses on Jane and Martin,...

If you followed my FrightFest diary at the end of August you will have read about the specially shot teaser trailer we saw for a brand new British horror anthology called Habeas Corpus. The film is directed by a veritable feast of UK talent, including Clive Ashenden, Rob Wickings, Brendan Lonergan, Simon Aitken and Paul Davis.
Davis was also the star of the a specially shot teaser trailer, alongside UK horror icon Emily Booth; and it’s thanks to Ms. Booth’s YouTube channel that we can bring you the actual trailer as screened at FrightFest. Check out the awesome 80’s horror-tinged make-up on Mr. Davis at the end – brilliant!

We were just directed to a new film being made right now in the UK by first-time director Simon Aitken called Blood and Roses. It’s significant to us because one of our favorite journalists/actresses is in it: Axelle Carolyn. She’s been taking bit parts in more and more movies as of late, and it’s always great to see her on screen.
Blood and Roses is the story of a couple who take a holiday in the hopes of rekindling their love for one another but quickly find that there’s just nothing there. The wife meets a strange man who turns out to be a vampire, and of course he takes advantage of her weakness to turn her as well. But in order to be 100% vamp, she has to feed, which leads to some hard choices. I bet that husband’s looking pretty good...
