Full Moon Features And Alamo Drafthouse Bringing 'SUBSPECIES V: BLOODRISE' To The Big Screen For One Night Only!

You just can’t keep a good vampire down!

The folks over at Full Moon Features and Alamo Drafthouse are bringing the worldwide theatrical premier of director Ted Nicolaou’s SUBSPECIES V: BLOODRISE, the fifth frightening entry in the venerable Full Moon film franchise to their locations for one night only.

The movie – which tells the origin story of the immortal bloodsucker Radu – will play at 26 Alamo Drafthouse locations for a special engagement on Monday, May 15th, 2023 as part of the company’s fabled Graveyard Shift series. The special Graveyard Shift presentation will include an exclusive introduction and pre-recorded post-screening Q&A with members of the cast and director, Ted Nicolaou.

“We couldn’t be more excited about this partnership,” says Charles Band, Full Moon Features founder and SUBSPECIES V: BLOODRISE producer. “This is a rich, Gothic, visually striking horror movie and I’m thrilled that our fans will have the chance to see it on the big screen, where it belongs!”

“It’s a real honor to be able to present a theatrical screening of this new Full Moon Features film”, says Robert Saucedo, Alamo Drafthouse programmer. “Horror hounds have a real love of Charles Band, Full Moon and the SUBSPECIES series. I’m very excited that we will help give fans the chance to see the newest entry in the franchise on the big screen, where it deserves to be seen.”

SUBSPECIES V: BLOODRISE follows the descent of Radu (once more played by series regular Anders Hove) from a noble warrior of the Church to a depraved, blood-hungry creature of the night. Stolen by crusaders on the night of his birth from his demon mother and vampire father, Radu grows up with no knowledge of his monstrous bloodline. Trained and exploited by a brotherhood of mystic monks to slay all enemies of the church, fate brings him back one night to his father's castle, armed with the monster-slaying Sword of Laertes, to destroy the vampire Vladislas and reclaim a holy relic, the Bloodstone.

Filmed in Serbia, in and around historical castles and ruins, and co-starring original series star Denice Duff in a surprising role, this sensual, violent, and operatic exploration of evil marks a stunning return for one of the screen's most beloved monsters.

SUBSPECIES V: BLOODRISE is directed by series mainstay Ted Nicolaou (TERRORVISION), making SUBSPECIES one of the only horror franchises in which every entry is helmed by the same director.
