In choosing a title like this, a film lays its cards on the table. You’ve probably already decided whether or not you want to see it, before reading this review. Learning that it deals with vampires is only likely to solidify that decision. If you do watch, though, you may be in for a bit of a surprise. This is low budget, rough stuff, but there’s a visual style to it which is quite arresting. Writer/director Monte Light clearly has ideas, and despite the sometime incoherence of the story, there is evidence of talent.
Massimo (Michael Klug) is a drug addict celebrating two years of sobriety with his girlfriend, Tien (Christine Nguyen), an alcoholic. After a spot of slow motion, soft focus black and white sex, they lie around in bed discussing vampire mythology, and she introduces him to the concept of the aswang. Like a lot.

An homage to F.W. Murnau's Nosferatu, Monte Light’s Blood Covered Chocolate follows a recovering drug addict dealing with a new craving for crimson after being bitten by a monster with a deadly appetite. Ahead of the film's April 7th digital release from Terror Films, we have the trailer to share with Daily Dead readers!
Here's what Monte Light had to say about the making of Blood Covered Chocolate:
“Shot in black-and-white by award-winning cinematographer Neal Tyler, Blood Covered Chocolate acts as an homage to the one-hundred-year-old F.W. Murnau classic Nosferatu. While indebted to the history of cinema, it is also a timely commentary on the demons and addictions inherent in modern life. As an exploration of my own struggles with substance abuse, this is the most personal movie I've ever made.”

Earlier this year we told you about Hidden Horror, a new book that celebrates 101 of the most overlooked and underrated films in the history of horror cinema. The book is currently available through Amazon, as well as select brick and mortar retailers, and it's proven to be quite the success in the horror community, introducing many fans to gems that they've either never heard of, or were simply never urged to seek out.
As a celebration of the success of the book, a special signing event is being held this Saturday at Burbank, California's horror shop Dark Delicacies, with several of the authors stopping by to sign copies and discuss the book.
