Director Spike Lee has a couple days remaining in his Kickstarter campaign and has already reached his goal of $1.25 million.

He originally launched his campaign on July 21 to raise money for an upcoming film he describes as a “psychological bloody thriller” about humans who are addicted to blood.

The campaign has brought in more than 5,400 donors and raised $1,304,000.
