Blood Vessel
Somewhere in the North Atlantic, late 1945, a life raft adrift at sea, and
in it, the survivors of a torpedoed hospital ship. With no food, water, or
shelter, all seems lost until a seemingly abandoned German minesweeper
drifts ominously towards them, giving them one last chance at survival—if
they can survive the bloodthirsty monsters on board. Starring
Nathan Phillips (Wolf Creek), Alyssa Sutherland (Vikings), Robert Taylor (Longmire), directed by Justin Dix (Crawlspace).
Available November 5th.
Lingering
Seeking support as the guardian of her younger brother, Yoo-mi returns to a

discover the truth before it’s too late. Starring Lee Se-young (Memorist), Park ji-young (The Concubine), directed by Yoon Eun-kyoung.
