Follows the harrowing journey of three frontiersmen who set out to seek aid at a desolate Army fort after their handcart company becomes stranded and stricken by disease. Harassed on the journey by bandits and a mysterious native, the youngest companion becomes critically injured and a dark and primal creature begins to hunt and torment them. As the group comes to find the fort abandoned and the land cursed by forces both natural and supernatural, the once hopeful shelter becomes a maddening prison. As time passes and they slowly begin to starve, the growing fear and hunger drives them against each other, the worst of their own human natures are realized, and they begin to change…

Producer Scott B. Hansen (Devour, Bad Candy, The Possession Experiment) was quoted saying: "Bloodletting is the gritty visceral story we’ve been waiting to tell. It’s a nightmare wrapped in history, driven by characters on the edge of humanity. And with someone like Graham McTavish leading the charge, this becomes something truly special."
Said to deliver "psychological, creature, and body horror against a brutal frontier backdrop."
Based on the novel with the same name by author J.R. Curtis.
