Blood Feast is hailed as the first gore movie ever made. And is the first of the “Blood Trilogy” by H.G. Lewis. even though he came out with several more gore films, including The Gore Gore Girls, The Wizard of Gore, and Gruesome Twosome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is supposed to be a horror film and if it weren’t for all the blood and gore, it would be an outright comedy. The acting is probably the worst ever caught on film and for me, a person who thrives on movies with terrible acting, that is saying a LOT. The sets are cheaper than cheap, and the dialogue is wooden, calculated, and downright stupid. In short, it’s very unintentionally hilarious. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fuad Ramses is a creepy little dude who runs an Egyptian catering service. Coincidentally, he’s also a faithful follower of an evil Egyptian goddess named Ishtar. Apparently, the time has come to serve up a religious “blood feast” in order to bring Ishtar back to life. So he goes around town murdering young women and stealing certain parts of their bodies to cook up and serve to a dimwitted mother who is throwing a party for her daughter and hires Fuad Ramses to cater it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The fact that nobody finds this guy really weird is disturbing, because he completely leers at you when speaking to you, has a pronounced limp (that changes between legs throughout the movie), and talks in a very slow and suspicious way, as though he’s trying to keep you from noticing that he’s holding a severed head behind his back or something. Any normal person would be terrified of him. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The guy who plays Fuad is obviously a younger actor wearing old-man makeup. Why they didn’t just get an older actor is anyone’s guess. There’s a two-minute scene where he doesn’t wear older-looking makeup (not even playing a younger version of himself but playing another person entirely), but still has the huge painted-on eyebrows that he usually sports, they’re just black instead of gray. But seriously, was that two minutes really worth wearing old-looking makeup for the entire film? I guess the eyebrow paint was important because he also stares at people a lot (supposedly hypnotizing them). This crap has to be seen to be believed. Definitely a “so bad it’s good” type of film. I loved it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
