Exclusive clip: Gripping new thriller “BLOOD ON HER NAME”

Now out on VOD, BLOOD ON HER NAME is a gripping rural psychological thriller about survival in the face of increasingly dangerous and desperate circumstances. Check out an exclusive excerpt after the jump.

Released by Vertical Entertainment, BLOOD ON HER NAME was directed by Matthew Pope from a script he wrote with producer Don Thompson. Bethany Anne Lind (OZARK), Will Patton (HALLOWEEN, TV’s SWAMP THING), Elisabeth Röhm (ANGEL), Jared Ivers, Jimmy Gonzalez and Jack Andrews star; according to the official synopsis, “The dead body lies at her feet, its blood still draining onto the floor. It was an accident, borne of self-defense, but its discovery could have devastating consequences for local garage owner Leigh Tiller [Lind] and her son. In a panic, Leigh decides to conceal the crime, cleaning the bloody scene and scrambling to dispose of the body. But can she actually disappear a man from the earth–from his family–leaving them forever wondering? As Leigh is torn between her primal instincts and tortured conscience she struggles to keep her sins hidden from her estranged father–a cop with a long history of moral compromise–and from the keen-eyed girlfriend of the deceased.”
