Boy #5

aka "Bad Blood" released 2021

A social worker takes a withdrawn homeless boy into her care, not suspecting that he is a vampire. As she gets closer to him the boy's thirst for human blood increases, and to protect him she must help lure his next kill to satisfy his cravings.

The first horror feature film from writer/director and producer Eric Ian Steele, "Boy #5" received awesome reviews after its world premiere in Leicester Square in London's prestigious West End as part of FrightFest UK.

Made for less than £10,00 with first time lead actors, the film has taken the horror community by storm.

Eric was nominated for the International Rising Star Award, and the film is now distributed in North America, the United Kingdom and the Far East!

Jennie Kermode,

Eye for Film

"A haunting and ambiguous take on the vampire myth... the first really important contribution to cinema’s take on vampire mythology for a long time."

Kat Hughes,

The Hollywood News

" Eric Steele subverts the vampire conventions and jumbles them up into an emotionally charged social drama that is unlike any vampire film out there.
