For horror film enthusiasts, here is yet another movie to watch—River of Blood, the new spine-tingling survival horror from director Howard J. Ford, has just released a new trailer. Set somewhere deep in Southeast Asian jungles, the blood-stained horror film chronicles four kayakers who are stalked by a deathly tribe after they make a wrong turn on a remote river.
