Bleed with Me

Bleed with Me is a horror film that is almost structured like a play, with its single isolated setting and cast of only three characters. Much of the plot is based on the rapport between stars Lee Marshall, who is also a producer on the film, and Lauren Beatty, with the latter’s character of Emily, simultaneously coming off as caring and vaguely sinister. Overall, Bleed with Me is a film that will keep you guessing until literally the final moments.
