Blood Feast

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..

Ishtar was Sumerian, not Egyptian. This is a sad attempt to make Goddess worship about sacrifice, which it isn't.

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.

I didn't connect this film with the original until I heard the crazy mans name. Not exactly sure why this is set in Paris or why they changed the focus to the chef. The chef in the original while still being a crazy man was really more of a side character. The casting was OK except for the 30 year old not so fresh faced daughter, who is a horrible actress at least in this but some of that falls on who ever cast this movie because she is clearly 10 + years to old for the character she plays. In a pleasant surprise the mother who I recognized but couldn't place her for awhile in fact it was past the midpoint of the movie until I put it together, I let you figure it out. If your a big horror movie fan you should know who she is. If you read this before you watch the film watch the original at least part of it because I most likely would not have watched the whole movie if I didn't make the connection to the original. Its public domain so it's on YouTube as well as most of the old horror movie channels on Roku or whatever service have like that. It's not horrible but it's not great if you have a problem finding something to watch the 1963 version first the stories are different enough so it won't feel like you've watched twice.

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.
