The Blood Stream mines the Internet for horror gold so you don’t have to, delivering streamable horror titles never before featured on Dread Central. Occasionally I’ll dredge up something good, maybe even great. To find those gems, I’ll have to sift through a lot of breathtakingly bad cinema. Enjoy!
If you still haven't gotten enough of Ringu clones, allow me to recommend a humble amateur knockoff you’ve probably never heard of: Watch Me.
The story is your basic viral video infected with a supernatural presence that kills anyone who watches it. But it’s totally not the same as The Ring at all because instead of a VHS cassette, this killer vid is an email attachment. Totally Different. Plus, rather than a montage of random avant-garde images this video is a snuff film. Yikers.
From the looks of the home video caliber recording I’d say...

China's answer to YouTube is bringing cinema – including 250 Hollywood films – to the country's 400m online viewers, and bypassing the censors at the same time
Hollywood has long been eyeing the moneymaking potential of China. Earlier this month 20th Century Fox found a route in to the world's third largest film market, forging a landmark deal with Youku – the Chinese YouTube – to stream 250 films to China's 400m online video viewers.
In a country where what's shown on screen is guarded by the government, online video websites such as Youku and Tudou are revolutionising the way people view film and television. In 2010, the number of Chinese watching video online was 284 million. By the end of 2012 the figure could pass 445m, according to Cmm Intelligence, a Beijing-based market research firm.
"After so many years of economic growth, China is ready for similar growth in entertainment," says Jean Shao, a Youku spokesperson. Though Youku offers a YouTube-style user-generated platform,...

Bachelor Party in the Bungalow of the Damned (2008)
Directed by Brian Thompson
Wow, it sounds almost like a Satanic version of the classic Tom Hanks film Bachelor Party, except I’m sure it won’t be nearly as funny or horrific. The story follows Sammy, a kid who has come across a genuine bungalow in the Hamptons so decides to throw the ultimate bachelor party for his friend. The strippers show up, but so does his friends girlfriend and pretty soon all hell has quite literally broken loose. Buy it here!
The Gleam (2006)
Directed by Sri Rang
Young actors will really do anything for money, up to an including feeding live humans to mad scientists. Young Max is one of those actors, just trying to make his way through the world, and...
