Books Of Blood (2020)

     Read them, loved them, and they've spawned several B-movie horror films. Some good, most bad, and one had Vinnie Jones.

     For example:

         Midnight Meat Train

         Lord Of Illusions

         Rawhead Rex

         Quicksilver Highway (AKA The Body Politic)

         Candyman

         Dread

    This one is VERY loosely based on a couple of stories. But they're so far out there, I had a hard time recognizing them. Than again, I read the books about 35 years ago. As anthologies go, here's our simple plots:

Jenna

Jenna has issues, and she's tired of taking her pills. This disagrees with her parents, so she runs away...right into a house of psychos. The kind of psychos that drug people up, sew their eyes shut, and remove tongues as...uh...souvenirs? The good news is, none of victims lose their lives. HOWEVER, they are literally part of the house now since Nurse Ellie keeps them alive in the walls, cupboards, ect. Nice people.

Miles

Um...it's basically Ghost but the psychic was a fake and real ghosts wrote their respective thesis into every square inch of his body, like a big fleshy journal. Don't fuck with ghosts. Or the living. Maybe just try being a good human and not a piece of shit.

Bennett

      The third and final story is really a culmination the other 2 stories. The final chapter had been teased throughout the movie and this concludes all 3 parts of the film and I must say...it was done very well. Not amazing, but surprising and logical from a Clive Barker view. His involvement was non-existent, but his fingerprints are still there.
