BLOODFEAST Review On "Violent Maniac's Cage"

BLOODFEAST

ALSO KNOWN AS: Feast Of Fleash.

(1964, USA)

DIRECTED BY: Herschell Gordon Lewis.

If ever there was an award (there is I'm sure) for the worst horror film of all time then this would win hands down, there is no doubt about it. The only worthwhile thing to say about this and it's creator Lewis is that he was the first person to make the first gore film. It's only right to say he's the father of the genre.

Like with Two Thousand Maniacs this baby is so bad its not funny ( well actually it is). Egyptian party caterer Fuad Ramsey (who looks like a real loser with his pop out eyes and thick black plastic eyebrows) goes about preparing for the ultimate feast of Istar. You can just tell that Lewis made sure his history facts were right on the mark (hehehe).

Ramsey kills various women (only women, hmmmmm) and prepares to give his corny shitbag ceremony. He plans on having the feast a young girls party (she's played horrendously by Connie Mason, a 60's Playboy Playmate). Although the film is quite lame you can tell Lewis was way ahead of the times in his ideas. Otherwise the acting and special effects make-up are ridiculous. The acting is so bad that I have to mention it again. Even curiosity seekers should beware!!!

Rating: 1 Skull
