BLOOD FEAST

BLOOD FEAST REVIEWED

“Blood Feast” is one of those movies that makes me love period horror. Standing apart from the horror films of the early 1960s, this underground classic was to first to indulge in gore. Predating even “Night of the Living Dead”, this was the film where classic American horror gave way to the modern style. Sporting a slasher movie style opening, it won’t be long before we delve into the world of Fuad Ramses. Ramses is a psycho who is harvesting lady parts to resurrect a beautiful mummy.

The parts that he can’t use are going to be stuffed back into the faces of dinner guests. H.G. Lewis was beginning to make a name for himself, but it wouldn’t be long after this movie before he was at the height of his powers. Seriously, guys. I pick up H.G. Lewis movies like you nerds eat up the latest Star Wars merch dumps. When I say this is an essential flick, then you need to dive headfirst into the matter.

DO IT!
