The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.

Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

I wanted to put my two cents in on this film, since most of the reviews are glowing and this is far from a good film, but what would you expect from Herschell Gordon Lewis. When I was 13 I didn't like roller coasters, if I wanted a stomach churning experience I watched splatter films. Sometimes they were funny like Peter Jackson's Bad taste (still a favorite), and sometimes they were lurid but entertaining like H.G. Lewis' 2000 Maniacs (well the theme song is still fun). But, as I've gotten older most of these films don't really stand the test of time and the only thing they have going for them are the gore. And in most cases not even that can save them.In Blood Feast 2 the gore is repetitive, the writing and acting are crap, and the jokes are old and unfunny. I'm not sure what I expected from Lewis, though his other films were interesting to watch for their lurid, sometimes inventive, gore this movie is just boring. I gave it 2 stars for one reason.John McConnellHe is the only thing worth watching in this movie, and his character carries the only spark of genius in the entire show. It's so genius that I have a feeling it wasn't in the original script, nor did the director or writer have anything to do with it. At one crime scene he makes the requisite "boy I sure am hungry" joke, of course I rolled my eyes "haven't heard that one before", but as the movie goes on it gets so over the top that he starts every scene with "I sure am hungry" and ends every scene with "I sure am hungry". John McConnell you have found a fan.

I never have understood those who idolize Hershell Gordon Lewis. Aside from one or two good low-budget films (such as 2000 MANIACS), his movies were stupid, poorly made and stupid...not to mention, stupid. Yet oddly, he's revered as some sort of genius--the King of Gore. Now his older films from the 1960s did sometimes feature a lot of fake blood and guts, but too often, they were so fake that they looked stupid (hey, I'm using that word again). One of his earliest and worst splatter films was BLOOD FEAST. While not as bloody as his later films, it made up for it by being...stupid. Not silly stupid--just bad sort of stupid. However, it has become a cult favorite despite failing artistically in just about every possible way.Now, almost four decades later, Lewis is back and out of retirement to make this sequel, of sorts. Surprisingly, though the movie was often quite dumb, it managed to work much better than the original and is a very watchable film...aside from all the guts (which were more realistic) and nudity. This film is not Disney...do NOT let kids watch it. But, if you have a reasonably strong stomach (I dissected a lot of things in college, so I was fine with this), then you might have a few laughs and actually like the film.As for the dumb, there was plenty! All the women in the film have "silly" names like Bambi Deere, Laci Hundees, Brandi Alexander and Candi Graham. Much of the acting was very, very broad and over-the-top--subtlety was NOT a word you'd use for any of the acting or script or direction. But there were also some clever moments and things that were dumb but funny--such as the cops stopping to get donuts BEFORE going to the crime scene, how clueless the cops were and the way that the killer kept getting hurt when trying the first time to kill the annoying Mrs. Lampley.Overall, this film is a guilty pleasure for gore fans. Others might enjoy it as well IF they aren't bothered by all the blood and guts. The blood is fake, but some of the organs (such as the liver) are real...and look it. It's easily better than BLOOD FEAST...but that certainly isn't saying much, since in my opinion having herpes is better than watching BLOOD FEAST.

We start off Herschell Gordon Lewis' Blood Feast sequel with Miss Louisiana Christina Cuenca screaming her pretty head off as Fuad Ramses III (J.P. Delahoussaye) puts her through a meat grinder. We expect a lighter film, and we are getting it as Delahoussaye is a comedian and brings that to the film.Oh, why did he have to go to Laci Hundees (Michelle Miller) for the brains and more liver? She was giving us such a fantastic show when he rudely interrupted.Detective Loomis (John McConnell) is played by another comedian, and we get comic breaks during the investigation.After a boring examination of the remains of Misty Morning, we quickly go to a lingerie shower for the new bride, Tiffany (Toni Wynne). We stay her a while why all the girls model lingerie and we enjoy them as they change. Two of the girls go off into the other room and we expect some hot action. No, here comes the killer again. Harvest time. And, what does he have in mind for Candi Graham (Jill Rao)? Well, we can watch some dudes tromping through the jungle using the "R" word, or we can bathe ourselves in blood and intestines and lots of boobies, while having a good laugh. Me? I'm going back for seconds, thank you.

I've been a big H.G. Lewis fan since I first started watching his drive-in splatter films about ten years ago. Films like THE GORE GORE GIRLS, THE WIZARD OF GORE, and of course, the original BLOOD FEAST were some of my earliest forays into more "underground" horror, and I've been hooked ever since. So after a 30 year hiatus from film-making, ol' H.G. comes back with this film - BLOOD FEAST 2: ALL U CAN EAT. Does it hold up against his previous "classicks"? Here's my take: The storyline is relatively simple - Fuad Ramses' (the "bad-guy" from the original BLOOD FEAST) grandson inherits his grandfather's "exotic catering" business and sets up shop. Early on in the film, Fuad III is "possessed" by the Egyptian...er...Babylonian - statue of the goddess Ishtar that resides in a back room of the building. When Ramses is hired to cater a local wedding reception - the preparation for the blood-feast begins when Ramses begins knocking off the bridesmaids in gruesome fashion in order to obtain the necessary ingredients. Hot on his trail are the bumbling duo of weak-stomached and loud-mouthed Detective Myers, and his insatiably hungry partner, Detective Loomis. Will Ramses succeed in fulfilling Ishtar's wishes and preparing a mighty blood-feast, or will the detectives be able to stop his reign of terror in time??? I first caught BLOOD FEAST 2 about 4 years ago at a party, and honestly didn't pay much attention to it because I was drunk and a lot was going on that distracted from watching the film - but I threw this one in last nite to revisit it, and I gotta say - I'm glad I did. BLOOD FEAST 2 definitely has the feel of Lewis' older films, but with a little bit of an "upgrade" for the digital age. Most of the early films in Lewis' catalog are a bit more unintentionally funny, whereas BLOOD FEAST 2 has a very self-conscious comedy angle - which actually works well for this one. There are some truly funny and/or silly "gags" that really work without feeling too forced or out of place. The entire cast does a good job with the material - especially the duo of Myers and Loomis, and they have a strong comedic chemistry that really works. The gore is over the top and suitably "gooey" - as should be expected of any Lewis' production. You can tell that "The Godfather" still revels in the red stuff - to almost masturbatory levels similarly found in THE GORE GORE GIRLS - as brains and eyeballs and guts are squished and fondled in close-up and drawn-out detail. A few gratuitous tits-n-ass shots don't hurt the film any either. A fun soundtrack from SOUTHERN CULTURE ON THE SKIDS and a cameo from B-more legend, John Waters, helped round things out nicely. A truly "fun" film that never really has a dull moment - I fully recommend this one to "splat-stick" style film-fans, or anyone that enjoyed Lewis' earlier catalogue...8.5/10
