Anchor Bay Entertainment is bringing writer/director Spike Lee's Da Sweet Blood of Jesus to Blu-ray next month. Partially funded by a Kickstarter campaign, the romantic horror-comedy stars Stephen Tyrone Williams, Zaraah Abrahams, Rami Malek, Elvis Nolasco, Thomas Jefferson Byrd, Joie Lee, Donna Dixon and Steven Hauck, and streets on May 26th.
Official Synopsis: A Spike Lee Joint, Da Sweet Blood of Jesus is a new kind of love story, one that centers on an addiction to blood that once doomed a long forgotten ancient African tribe. When Dr. Hess Green (Williams) is introduced to a mysteriously cursed artifact by an art curator, Lafayette Hightower (Nolasco), he is uncontrollably drawn into a newfound thirst for blood that overwhelms his soul. However, he is not a vampire. Lafayette quickly succumbs to the ravenous nature of the infliction but leaves Hess a transformed man. Soon Lafayette's wife, Ganja Hightower (Abrahams), comes looking for her husband and becomes involved in a dangerous romance with Hess that questions the very nature of love, addiction, sex, and status in our seemingly sophisticated society.
The Blu-ray release of Da Sweet Blood of Jesus is presented in 1080p with lossless 5.1 surround. Special features have yet to be detailed.
