Blood Punch

Blood Punch is a 2013 horror thriller film and the directorial debut of Madellaine Paxson. The film had its world premiere on 26 October 2013 at the Austin Film Festival, where it won the Dark Matters Audience Award .

When Milton (Milo Cawthorne) is caught cooking meth, he's sent to a rehab center where he meets the beautiful Skyler (Olivia Tennet). He's wildly attracted to her, so much so that they have sex shortly after meeting. Milton also agrees to break out of rehab with her and travel to the woods, where he'll make a large amount of meth for an exorbitant sum of money. He's ill prepared for her psychotic boyfriend Russell (Ari Boyland), who tells him that he knows about Milton's fling with Skyler. Unbeknownst to Milton, the cabin is set in the middle of a land that has been forever psychically tainted by a massive and bloody Native American war.

Critical and viewer reception for Blood Punch has been positive. The Austin Chronicle and Bloody Disgusting both praised the film, and Bloody Disgusting favorably compared it to the 1948 film Road House.
