Blood Feast
1 9 6 3 (USA)
"You'll recoil and shudder as you witness the
slaughter and mutilation of nubile young girls . . ."
Herschell Gordon Lewis' gruesome and
graphic oddity about a demented caterer's insane plot to collect body
parts from young maidens in order to resurrect Ishtar - an ancient
Egyptian goddess.
When he has prepared enough parts for the
ceremony, he hypnotizes a woman giving an engagement party for her
daughter, at which he plans to perform the ancient rites of summons,
using the daughter as his final sacrifice.
Screened in 'Blood Color', this almost
legendary bad film was one of the first films to feature graphic
violence on screen. Shoddy camera work, poor picture quality, inane
script and horrible dialogue are just a few of the film's charms.
Just keep in mind it is supposed
to be this bad. |
