[This post bumped up to the top as we've just gotten the trailer added to the brand-spankin' new Twitch video player. Yes, I'm playing with a new toy.]

We've been covering the films of Adam Mason in these pages for some time now and I was more than a little excited to get an early peek at his latest, b>Blood River, at the just completed AFM. I offered my thoughts on the freshly cut trailer here and now you can take a look and judge for yourself since Mason has just offered Twitch readers an exclusive first look at the trailer. Something to keep in mind here is that this was cut together from completely raw, fresh out of the camera footage. There has been no color correction, no ADR, no nothing. What you're looking at is exactly what was shot which makes just how good it looks that much more impressive ...

It’s 1969 and Clark and Summer are happily married and she’s pregnant. We first meet Summer and Clark as they are driving across California on their way to Arizona to tell Summer’s parents the good news about the pregnancy. They drive across the seemingly never ending and desolate desert landscape - they have a blow out. It’s a nasty one that sends the car into a massive, near fatal crash. They crawl out of it, hurt but alive, Summer terrified for the well being of her unborn child. The nearest place on the map is the uninviting sounding town of Blood River where they meet a mysterious stranger, Joseph. The clash between Joseph and Clark reaches fever pitch and drives our characters ever closer to a violent, destructive and shocking conclusion that will chill you to the bone.

Blood River is a twisted, manipulative trip into a world of extremes where people are rarely who they seem, where everyone has a secret and where few, if any, will survive.
