Love Lies Bleeding + Intro

From the director of cult horror phenomenon, Saint Maud,  comes an electric new love story.

Lou (Kristen Stewart) is a reclusive gym manager in a small town whose world is turned upside down by the arrival of Jackie (Katie O'Brian), an ambitious bodybuilder passing through town on her way to Vegas, where she hopes to pursue her dream of professional bodybuilding. Their instant chemistry quickly blossoms into a passionate relationship, but when Jackie starts a job at a local gun range owned by Lou's father (Ed Harris) they get drawn into a savage world of violence, criminal activity and performance enhancing drugs... 

Can they escape the web of terror spun by Lou's father? Will their romance be stretched to breaking point or can their love survive the brutality of their own actions?

Don't miss this intoxicating queer romance and celebrate Hastings Pride with this fantastic LGBTQI+ new release!

Includes an introduction from Asten Holmes-Elliott, artist and filmmaker, committee member for the Scottish Queer International Film Festival, and part of Widening The Lens, a talent development scheme of diverse filmmakers.

"Violent story of extreme sport, forbidden love and a lot of murder could be a new grindhouse classic, but Stewart’s fierce subtlety pushes it up a level" - 5 stars, The Guardian
