Dark Blood is a 2012 thriller film directed by George Sluizer, written by Jim Barton, and starring River Phoenix, Judy Davis, and Jonathan Pryce. Production on the film was halted due to the death of Phoenix in 1993, shortly before the end of the project and remained unfinished for 19 years. It was the last film to feature River Phoenix and the only film in which Phoenix portrayed a villain.

Production

Dark Blood began shooting on September 21, 1993, and consisted of roughly five weeks of on location shooting in Torrey, Utah and was scheduled to complete three weeks of filming interior scenes in Los Angeles, California on a sound stage. Parts of the film were also shot in Gallup, New Mexico. There is a scene shot at Mesa Verde National Park in Montezuma County, Colorado. The film had a budget of under $10 million.

It was revealed in October 2011 that director George Sluizer had held onto the footage, fearing it would be destroyed, and that he had reedited the material and believed that with some adjustments a completed film could be released in 2012. In 1999, the insurance company that owned the negatives wanted to stop paying storage costs, so they considered having the film destroyed.

On May 18, 2012, a trailer for the film and an interview with Sluizer were released on YouTube. The film premiered to an invited audience on September 27, 2012, at the Netherlands Film Festival in Utrecht, Netherlands. It had its international premiere out of competition at the 63rd Berlin International Film Festival.

A region-free DVD (in English with optional German subtitles) was released in Germany in January 2018 by Missing Films.
