Blood Feast

The H.G.L original is pretty much sacred turf and as an original film, is nigh impossible to recreate (in any shape or form). Saying that the modern 'Hardgore' scenes add practically nothing to the story, or does the hack style of acting. This is a pretty poor show and apart from the leading actor (who shows some promise), the rest of the cast are just all wrong.

Saw this on a dvd. I got enticed due to Sadie Katz n the trailer. What a disappointment this film turned out to b. Ther was absolutely zero suspense n tension. This movie is completely devoid of any atmosphere. The plot is about an owner of a diner who is also moonlighting as a watchman in a museum of Egyptian artefacts. He stops taking his pills n during one of his work shift he sees the Egyptian goddess who demands him of blood n sacrifice which will enable their reunion. Ther was too much gore n i fast forwarded some scenes, especially of the cannibalism. The effects by Ryan Nicholson is noteworthy but the lingering gory scenes were a letdown for me. Also the abrupt ending added more fuel to its already awful screenplay. It is a remake of the 1963 film which i hav completely forgotten. Mayb will revisit soon. The original was directed by the father of gore films, Herschell Gordon Lewis. They say the original was the first splatter film n one of the earliest to enter video nasties.

I rarely write reviews, but I must save the viewing audience. I waited 2 years for this disappointment! Poor script and pointless Gore.. Oh and the worst part, it ends abruptly as if they ran out of film or money... Don't waste your time or you'll be sorry. I can promise you that..

I've seen some terrible movies in my lifetime, and this one is no different. Talent-less actors, weak special effects, the movie takes forever to get going and when it does it looks like a bad porn film. Really, this movie is just terrible and everyone involved should be embarrassed. Tragic film making at its worst.

One thing this got right is the amount of blood it has. And without having seen the original this is based on (I can only assume that it wasn't a masterpiece either, but still way better than this, it has to be), I can say, that this is really bad. Now I do see the rating this received from others (though none wanted to comment on their rating?) and I can only assume that they were enjoying how bad this is.

Like having a blast watching a bad movie with mates/friends. Kind of like "Tulpa" where I had a really good time, despite (or because) the movie was awful. Now this is more or less aware of how bad it is, it actually tries to play into that fact. But just by acknowledging that you are doing something intentionally, doesn't make it fun. There is also a craft in being bad by purpose. This just is infantile (in more than one way). One example is a sign at the diner, that has a joke, but is being shown for way too long. It's in your face, waving with both hands jumping up and down, right in front of your nose. Again, this may be able to entertain in times (for all the wrong reasons), but it's not good - no pun intended
