Milo cawthorne7/25/2023 Paxson picked up the Best Director Award at the Hoboken Festival as well. It also won Best Feature at the Hoboken Film Festival. It won the Austin Film Festival Dark Matter Audience Award. On any other big project we probably wouldn’t have even heard about this, but on BP we were in the same room as Eddie when he gets the phone call and then we all have to scramble to find another place to film in.ĭespite the budgets and the few problems, Blood Punch has been well received by the fans. We had some pretty massive challenges while making Blood Punch and it was amazing how everyone had to get involved and try to overcome them.Ĭawthorne spoke of one particular problem that involved a set where the vast majority of the movie was to be filmed.įor example, the cabin we were gonna rent and shoot the film in was suddenly unavailable a few days out from shooting. When making a low-budget film you can’t use money to fix problems so it makes you very creative in your problem solving. Tennet talked about the process of bringing this film to viewers as opposed to films or television shows that might be backed by a studio or network. It has taken Blood Punch another four years to finally hit video and video-on-demand services like Amazon and iTunes. It keeps you guessing, and tends to mess with old horror tropes, so there is that element of self-awareness. I think the big strength of the film is the plot. You go in with your expectations pretty low, and hopefully have those expectations met, or exceeded. I think one of the attractions of the film is that it’s unexpected, I didn’t expect a film called ‘Blood Punch’ to be so twisty and psychological. When asked just what has made critics enjoy this film so much, Milo Cawthorne talked about how the film keeps the audience on their toes. However, it has also had some good reviews from more main stream sites like the Hollywood Reporter. Blood Punch had me hooked from beginning to end, and I was amazed by all the twists and turns.īlood Punch has garnered critical acclaim from horror sites like Bloody-Disgusting and Dread Central. It was also pretty nerve-wracking wondering if I’d actually be able to pull it off. I am mostly cast as a young, innocent girl so when I first read Blood Punch and the character of Skyler, I was very excited by the chance to play a character like nothing else I’d ever been considered for. It was incredibly flattering and so exciting to think that the parts had been tailored specifically for us. Eddie wrote Blood Punch with the three of us in mind for those roles and that is so rare as an actor. One morning in 2011 we received an email from Eddie, informing us that he’d written a thriller/horror film and would we want to be a part of it. Blood Punch is described as “a mind-blowing supernatural cycle of carnage and mayhem with no end…and no escape.” Despite the differences, Tennet spoke about why she chose this movie that paints her in a different light than the more light-hearted Power Rangers. I think you can always tell in a film when actors have gotten on well or not it’s actually quite hard to hide that even when you’re playing a character.īlood Punch is a decidedly different story than Power Rangers RPM. When speaking with Inquisitr, Tennet was quick to explain that it didn’t take the cast and crew very long to pick up where they left off despite the two years ( Blood Punch was shot in 2011) since some of them had worked together.Īctors are always having to form intimate relationships with people very quickly, so it was great to be working opposite Milo and Ari who I know so well, because it removed any awkwardness or self-consciousness. We were all pretty excited to be doing something so different from Power Rangers, and everyone was onboard and very enthusiastic about doing the best they could. It had been awhile since we had seen Ari and Adelaide, and also we were working with Eddie and Maddy again. It also marked a return to working with writer Eddie Guzelian and director Madellaine Paxson.Ĭawthorne spoke with Inquisitr about how great it was to get back together with familiar faces albeit this time with a very different type of project. The Blood Punch cast consisted of Cawthorne and Tennet as well as Adelaide Kane ( Reign), Ari Boylad, and Mike Ginn. Their recent film Blood Punch brought them back together along with their former Power Ranger RPM’s cast and crew. Milo Cawthorne and Olivia Tennet are no strangers to working together.
