Books of Blood

Books of Blood (2020) is a horror anthology you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Brannon Braga and rooted in Clive Barker's iconic short story collection from 1984. Three separate storylines unspool across time and space before folding into each other in ways that feel inevitable in hindsight.

A young woman fleeing a painful past checks into what she thinks is safety — and isn't. A self-proclaimed medium who traffics in the space between the living and the dead finds that fraud has consequences he didn't bargain for. A third thread runs through both, tracing the price of stories carved into flesh. Britt Robertson and Anna Friel anchor their respective arcs, while Rafi Gavron carries the film's darkest turn. Braga keeps the pacing deliberate, leaning on atmosphere rather than shock.

Barker's source material never chased easy scares, and this adaptation follows suit — it's built for viewers who want their horror with weight and strangeness. Stream Books of Blood (2020) online on iFILM.
