A trailer for It's in the Blood has been released. It’s In the Blood is a wholly unique cinematic movement. At its core a father-son story, the film is a deconstruction of the prototypical “creature feature”, incorporating elements of mystical realism and psychological thriller. We call it a Psyche-Saga. Lance Henriksen stars in this nightmarish descent into the Wilderness, the very heart of darkness where more than your guilt can eat you alive. 

When a father and son become stranded in the wild, they must confront the horrors of their past to escape with their lives.
