... View MoreA great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
... View MoreRick Burks is my son, so he can do no wrong with respect to his acting (and singing) ability. Still morning his death in a car crash Feb/89 in Los Angeles Wilshire District. RIP son. See ya on the other side....
... View MoreTwo brothers are working to awaken the soul of an ancient goddess- the Goddess of Immorality- named Shitar.They are doing this to fulfill the dying mission of their serial killer uncle- or, well, for the brain of their uncle...which they keep in a jar and communicate with telepathically.First, they need to fashion Shitar a body...compiled of pieces, taken from women of immoral standing.Then, they need the necessary components for a blood sacrifice. Mostly the internal organs of sluts, and a virgin for Shitar to consume during the blood feast.So...they set it up...a Lemurian feast...the first one in 5 million years...and they invite all the vegetarians of ill repute they can find.Even though the brothers were putting the bodies of the women they killed in their food, and selling it as vegetarian food at their diner.The blood feast is actually pretty bad ass.I was expecting less from what leads up to it...which is an absolute cheese fest. But it does have it's charm- in a Peter Jackson meets Henenlotter sort of way. All the characters are purposefully over-acted. Giving the whole thing a surreal vibe. And there's lots of gore! It's really budget...sometimes humorously so, but it works. And when it counts...the special effects are excellent.I really think director Jackie Wong sets you up to be disappointed- with all the cheese- only to blow you away with the kickass character at the end! Sure, it's not wholly original. But it's still pretty awesome.I really enjoyed this film. It's a twisted, culty cheese-fest done right! And it's a helluva lot of fun.Definitely worth a watch.6.5 out of 10.
... View MoreI just needed to clear up some things I have read in the reviews. First being Jackie Kong is a woman and secondly this is not a Troma film. This movie is an exercise in bad jokes. Most don't work at all, but set the tone . Initially intended as a sequel to H.G. Lewis' classic Blood Feast hence the similar name and plot. Two brothers watch as their uncle is killed by police officers shortly after a murder spree. Flash forward several years later and the boys are all grown up and digging up the remains of their uncle. After retrieving his eyes and his genitals they keep them in a jar in the back of their health food restaurant. From this point on the uncle's remains order the boys to gather female body parts to complete a feast needed to resurrect an ancient goddess whom they worship. The movie is in bad taste, but not done realistically enough to disturb or even classify as horror. There are body parts disguised as health food, dummies and nazi wrestlers all very over the top and in poor taste. Don't expect great acting, effects or dialogue, but it's still a fun little flick.
... View MoreBlood Diner is one of my all time favorites for sure . An unofficial sequel to Bloodfeast it borrows a lot from said gore classic and updates it for the 80's . This splatter comedy is a laugh riot and totally over the top and ridiculous . Expect cannibalism, vegetarians ,nude arobic cheerleaders ,hilarious comedy and gore . If you want to have a good time watching a campy horror film , Blood Diner is one of the best along with Frankenhooker and Street Trash.Very extreme and underrated. I give Blood Diner a 10 star rating because it is one of the funniest and most entertaining movies ever made.Many will disagree .However, this is a genre picture and for fans of gore and exploitation most will be satisfied with this classic.
