When a space vessel goes rogue, fleet commander Galdor (Walter Dickerson) tasks Captain Vascan (Anders Heinrichsen) and his co-pilot/mechanic Lago (Christian Erickson) with retrieving it. Shooting it down from space to crash land on an unknown planet proves this story’s beginning rather than its end as we discover the destination was hardly some random accident. No, it’s exactly where the ship was headed because it is the only place with inhabitants who know its plight. Unlike Vascan’s crude sadist who’s all too happy to destroy it, Bald (Natasha Cashman) understands there’s more to its machinery than metal and her ritual to free its soul can commence as the sun becomes eclipsed. Once dismissed as “artificial intelligence” by its creators, Mima (Joëlle Berckmans) is granted human form.

"A hallucinogenic journey through space!" Shudder has released one final epic trailer for the crazy indie sci-fi project Blood Machines, written and directed by Seth Ickerman – we've featured two other trailers previously. Which will finally be available to watch on Shudder in May. This French lo-fi sci-fi is actually a "medium-length" film coming in at 50 minutes, making it still a worthy watch. The film tells the story of an A.I. escaping its spaceship as a female ghost and challenging two blade runners into an galactic chase. Featuring a score by the synthwave artist Carpenter Brut kicking this up a few notches. The project is a sequel to the music video Turbo Killer, the first collaboration between Brut and Ickerman. The full-length Blood Machines stars Elisa Lasowski, Anders Heinrichsen, Noémie Stevens, Christian Erickson, Joëlle Berckmans, and Natasha Cashman. This is easily the best trailer yet, and I can't wait to watch this.

*there are a few spoilers here. Directors/writers: Raphaël Hernandez, Savitri Joly-Gonfard. Cast: Elisa Lasowski, Anders Heinrichsen, Noémie Stevens, Christian Erickson. Blood Machines is a film from directors: Raphaël Hernandez and Savitri Joly-Gonfard; collectively, they are known by the pseudoname Seth Ickerman. Together, they also created the visually stunning music video "Turbo Killer," with composer Carpenter Brut. Fans should view this video, to know how visually stunning Blood Machines actually is. In the story for Blood Machines, two scavengers target a ship and down it on a remote planet. On the surface, these two men encounter a demonic artificial intelligence, which they pursue to ghostly ships' graveyard. The film has a spiritual element, which is very dark in tone. The many upside down crosses might clue viewers into where this film is going (to hell). Meanwhile, this film fan was reminded of a few other films and music videos, while watching this one: Event Horizon.

"Bring us back the moolah, or you and Lago will be in big trouble!" This looks awesome!! A full trailer has debuted for an indie sci-fi project titled Blood Machines, written and directed by Seth Ickerman. This French lo-fi sci-fi is actually a "medium-length" film coming in at 50 minutes, telling the story of an A.I. escaping its spaceship as a female ghost and challenging two blade runners into an galactic chase. Featuring a score by the synthwave artist Carpenter Brut. The film is a sequel to the music video Turbo Killer, the first collaboration between Brut and Ickerman. The full-length Blood Machines stars Elisa Lasowski, Anders Heinrichsen, Noémie Stevens, Christian Erickson, Joëlle Berckmans, and Natasha Cashman. I totally love the look of everything in this, from the Alien-inspired ship with gnarly teeth added, to the Blade Runner-esque grainy visuals that still have a unique style all their own.

I've got a wild red-band trailer here for a badass looking sci-fi space opera called Blood Machine. The movie has a very retro and Heavy Metal vibe to it that I think you're gonna like. You're also going to want to pump up the volume for this thing!

"Prepare the ceremony, we've lost enough time." An nifty teaser trailer has launched for a new sci-fi space opera titled Blood Machines, an epic indie production from a French filmmaking duo that goes under the name "Seth Ickerman" (of Kaydara previously). Blood Machines is a 30-minute short film sequel to the Carpenter Brut indie music video "Turbo Killer" (also watchable below), which tells the story of "an A.I. escaping its spaceship then turning into a female ghost who will challenge two blade runners to an galactic chase." This looks massively ambitious even though it was made on a tiny budget by two young filmmakers, who were inspired by "the 80's, Synthwave and classical ScFy movies." Starring Elisa Lasowski, Anders Heinrichsen, and Christian Erickson, featuring synth music by Carpenter Brut, of course. Volume up. Here's the first teaser trailer (+ poster) for Seth Ickerman's Blood Machines, direct from YouTube: And...

He might not be as recognized as someone like Aki Kaurismaki, but Norwegian filmmaker Bent Hamer has carved out his own similarly distinctive niche, thanks to offbeat comedies like "Kitchen Stories" and "O'Horten." Now he's back with "1001 Grams," which will make its World Premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival, and the first trailer dropped today. Starring Ane Dahl Torp, Laurent Stocker, Stein Winge, Hildegun Riise, Per Christian Ellefsen, Peter Hudson, Dinara Droukarova, Christian Erickson, Didier Flamand and Magne Håvard Brekke, the movie's milieu is set in an absurdly specific area of science. Here's the official synopsis: "When Norwegian scientist Marie attends a seminar in Paris on the actual weight of a kilo, it is her own measurement of disappointment, grief and love that ends up on the scale." There's no U.S. distributor for this one yet. Watch the trailer below.
