| Blood Punch | comment |
Take two writers from children's television along with a cast of former Power Rangers actors from New Zealand, and the logical conclusion would be to produce a low-budget independent horror film.Blood Punch tells the tale of a brilliant college-aged chemist named Milton (played by Milo Cawthorne) who ends up in rehab. While in rehab, he meets the beautiful and brash femme fatale Skyler (played by Olivia Tennet), who seduces him into a scheme in which he would cook crystal meth and make lots of money along the way. After breaking him out with the help of her crooked cop (ex-)boyfriend Russell (played by Ari Boyland), they then head to a cabin in the woods to begin their work. Along the way, Milton finds himself in an incredibly bizarre and dangerous love triangle gone horribly wrong. When blood gets spilled, triggering an ancient Native American curse, the trio find themselves stuck replaying the same day over and over again.The film came about after writer Eddie Guzelian joined the crew of Power Rangers RPM as its Executive Producer. Seeing the talent from the cast, he decided to write a movie with them in mind. Production took place in late 2011 high up in the Southwestern California mountains outside of Los Angeles, but the film did not see the light of day until the 20th annual Austin Film Festival in October 2013, where it took home the Dark Matters Audience Award. Over the next year, Blood Punch enjoyed a successful film festival run, winning an impressive number of audience and jury awards before landing a worldwide distribution deal.On September 1, 2015, after a limited U.S. theatrical run, Blood Punch was released commercially through out the U.S. and North America, debuting as the #1 horror movie on the iTunes charts. Despite its low-budget horror pedigree and Power Ranger roots, Blood Punch was met with overwhelming critical praise from both traditional media (The Hollywood Reporter, Village Voice, LA Weekly, Indiewire) as well as genre-specific online sites (Aint It Cool News, Dread Central, Bloody-Disgusting) and currently holds a 78% fresh rating on the Rotten Tomatoes website. | |

Milton refuses on the grounds that if Russell kills him he'd lose his crystal meth cook | |

Memory Gambit: Milton invokes this during the final act of the film in order to find out if Skyler's feelings for him are genuine. His plan involves secretly leaving himself the video recorded message (as well as making sure Russell was left alive) so that should Skyler kill him, the time loop will still be in effect and he can learn the truth through his recorded message. His plan worked perfectly. | |

Femme Fatale: Skyler, obviously. She ends up killing pretty much everyone (though, per the curse, they all come back to life the next day), even using a grenade at one point. Nabiki, to a much lesser extent. | |

Karmic Death | |
| Blood Punch / int_90d44f44 | comment |
Karmic Death: Russell. His final death involves him accidentally shooting himself with his own revolver that had only one bullet inside it. Especially ironic given that he played Russian Roulette with Milton as a test to make sure that he didn't have any feelings for Skyler much earlier in the film. | |

Blast Out: Nabiki, possibly feeling jealous that Archer prefers Skyler over her, decides to shoot her. She seemingly misses though Skyler ends up fatally injured before being healed when she wakes up as they're all still in the time loop, but it starts a shootout in the dark inside of Archer's warehouse. | |

Foreshadowing | |
| Blood Punch / int_9d12bbc1 | comment |
Foreshadowing: Russell's retelling of "the great battle" foreshadow the entire plot of the movie. The shadow animatics even depict a two people fighting evenly until a third person appears and stabs one in the back as well as a bunch of bodies being thrown into a trench. This foreshadows how Skyler will betray both Russell and Milton and how both sets of their corpses left behind during the timeloop were disposed of. | |
