The Horror Collective has acquired Cameron Francis’ supernatural thriller Blood Secret ahead of its World Premiere at FrightFest in London.
When a misunderstanding threatens to derail their friendship, Madison (Akers) and Anna (Lozon) agree to have dinner at Anna’s home to patch things up. But as the night unfolds, Madison begins experiencing increasingly disturbing events that Anna cannot see. What initially appears to be the result of wine, medication and a strained friendship soon gives way to something far more sinister, leaving Madison questioning her perception of reality and whether she will survive the night.
Set almost entirely within a single location, Blood Secret uses its confined setting to build a mounting sense of paranoia and claustrophobia while exploring friendship, guilt, regret and forgiveness. Francis and cinematographer Pomeroy Tucker contrast the film’s intimate setting with expansive, John Carpenter-inspired widescreen compositions.
The acquisition reunites The Horror Collective with Francis following his feature directorial debut, Cover, which played FrightFest in 2025 before being acquired by the genre label and released on BloodStream. Cover also screened at Panic Fest and the San Francisco Another Hole in the Head Film Festival, where it won the Audience Award for Best Thriller.
Written and directed by Francis, Blood Secret stars Katherine Lozon, Tiana Akers, Chelsea McLean, Garin Jones and Cory Stark.
