"EXSANGUINATA" film to feature SABBATH ASSEMBLY as actors

Wherefore the quest for eternal life?
To what lengths would any of us go to stave off the inexorable rite of aging, sickness, and finally… death?

The timeless legend Elizabeth Bathory, the “Blood Countess,” is the protagonist of EXSANGUINATA, a new short horror film which just made its world premiere at the New Jersey Horror Con and Film Festival. Directed by Gretchen Heinel and produced by Sabbath Assembly and Saltpeter Filmworks, EXSANGUINATA stars Jamie Myers and David Christian from Sabbath Assembly, with an exclusive soundtrack by the band, as well.

The film reveals a noblewoman and her devotees perpetuating their power by preying upon her subjects. For each young victim, the rite of adolescence becomes a rite of death. And for the noblewoman—the Countess Bathory—the rite of death becomes a rite of adolescence. Roles reversed, through blood sacrifice.

The film is available on Vimeo On Demand for $1.11 to rent or $4.44 to download.
