Written and directed by Jeff Barnaby, and staring Michael Greyeyes, Elle-Máijá Tailfeathers, and Forrest Goodluck. The film serves as a bloody commentary on colonialism, with its title, “Blood Quantum,” being a reference to the blood quantum laws or “Indian blood laws.” A set of laws enacted by early north american colonial governments to identify members of Indigenous tribes by percentage of ancestry, via blood measurement.
An interesting movie concept indeed, Blood Quantum recieved great reviews during its intial September 5, 2019 release. Horror fans can expect Blood Quantum to hit shudder, sometime during 2020.
