Blood Pact Films Brings The Benefactress and Tape Me to Theaters for a One-Day Horror Event

EVANSVILLE, Ind. - EntSun -- EVANSVILLE, IN — As studios continue to play it safe, two independent horror films are heading in the opposite direction.

Blood Pact Films, an independent horror distributor specializing in boundary-pushing and unconventional genre films, is bringing The Benefactress (An Exposure of Cinematic Freedom) and Tape Me to theaters for a one-day screening event at Showplace Cinemas East on Sunday, May 17.

The company focuses on films that operate outside traditional limits, with a growing catalog of horror, cult, and experimental titles released across theatrical, physical, and digital platforms.

Both films featured in this event reflect that approach. Extreme, experimental, and deliberately uncomfortable horror presented in a theatrical setting rarely given to this type of work.

The Benefactress (An Exposure of Cinematic Freedom) has drawn attention from underground horror critics, with one calling it "a twisted exercise in art house nastiness," while another describing it as "boundary-pushing, audacious and bold." The film has also been noted as "not a movie that is going to fare well with overseas censors," positioning it firmly outside mainstream expectations.

The film follows a filmmaker pulled into a controlled and increasingly disturbing project funded by a dying woman who monitors his every move. What begins as opportunity spirals into obsession and collapse.

Tape Me is a found footage horror film that follows a killer documenting his crimes on camera. Built around raw presentation and voyeuristic tension, the film is designed to leave audiences unsettled.

"This is the kind of horror that does not usually get a theatrical platform," said Blood Pact Films. "So we are putting it in front of an audience the way it is meant to be seen."
