📅 Available to Buy/Rent on Amazon Prime Video – 15th May, 2025
Kendall Kane had her whole life ahead of her—until it was taken away in a brutal, senseless murder. Played with fierce energy by Avaryana Rose (Broken, Not For Sale), Kendall’s tragic death sets off a chain of events that rips open the barrier between the living and the dead.
Consumed by grief and rage, her boyfriend Lucien (Mike McKeever) refuses to let her rest in peace. With the help of a conflicted priest Father O’Reilly (Karl Barbee) and the mysterious voodoo priestess Mahlet (Destiny Brown), Lucien makes a desperate deal with forces no mortal should ever summon.
But resurrection always comes at a price.
The ritual works — but something’s changed. Kendall isn’t the same, and the evil that took her life still lurks in the shadows. To stop it, they must face the dark power behind it all: Immanuel, a menacing houngan played by Michael Hargrove (Candyman, 2021).
Bitter Souls is a raw, supernatural scream of a film about love, rage, and the demons we invite when we break the rules of life and death.
Starring:
- Avaryana Rose (Spirit Springs, Not for Sale)
- Destiny Leilani Brown (Hell House Origins: The Carmichael Manor)
- Mike McKeever (The Beast Comes at Midnight)
- Michael Hargrove (Candyman 2021) as Immanuel
Directed by Tom Ryan, and produced by a powerhouse team including McKeever, Oifer, McCallum, Sarullo, and Savakinus. The film was created by Ed McKeever and Steve Gray, with executive producers Tracy Adkirson and Rob Adkirson, and co-produced by Paul Hughbanks and Michael Joy.
Filmed on location in Carbondale, Dickson City, and Scranton, Pennsylvania, Bitter Souls taps into the eerie, decaying beauty of small-town America — the perfect backdrop for a horror film drenched in grief and black magic.
If you like your horror laced with emotion, steeped in lore, and driven by characters with everything to lose, Bitter Souls is a must-watch. It’s part gothic fairy tale, part voodoo nightmare, and fully committed to unleashing supernatural chaos.
🩸 This May 15th, the dead don’t rest. They come back angry.
Bitter Souls will be available to buy or rent on Amazon Prime Video starting May 15th. Don’t miss the chance to experience one of indie horror’s most haunting new entries.
