Biters & Bleeders is written by Charlie Carson Monroe, who shared directing duties with Raven Angeling Whisnant. Biters & Bleeders is the debut horror short film from New 32, a newly-launched, queer-owned, independent film company based in North Carolina.

Beneath the thin veneer of their marriage lies a rotting core of regret, frustration, and contempt. Tad (Malcolm) and Penelope (Whisnant) have fallen on hard times. When Tad’s mother unexpectedly dies and Tad comes into possession of his stately family home, he believes it will be the key to solving everything. But what awaits them in that house is not salvation. What awaits them is the final push that will finally send them toppling over that razor-thin edge into the unknown.

Whisnant also stars as the entrapped wife, with Christopher Malcolm as her domineering husband and Joyce Wood as his mother.

The trailer is creepy and the husband is clearly an abusive asshole, so cheers if she offs him.

Biters & Bleeders will debut on the festival circuit this year.
