Summary: <p>Originally conceived as a sequel to Herschell Gordon Lewis’ Blood Feast, the cult classic, Blood Diner, became its own frighteningly unique entity. The New York Times reviewed the film, stating plainly that “this is not a movie; it’s celluloid swill.”</p> <p>The plot is a tale as old as time, two idiots and a talking brain in a jar set out to resurrect an ancient Lumerian goddess. The parallels to Blood Feast are great as both films center around men harvesting the body parts of women to serve as the vessel for their goddess (Sheetar/ Ishtar). The film ambles around that plot interweaving a cast of characters including Little Jimmy Hitler, a devious chef/ ventriloquist, and club bouncer whose head gets bounced on by the wheel of a car. </p> <p>In our continuing celebration of Women in Horror Month, we spotlight Jackie Kong, and her work in the director’s chair. We also highlight the tremendous effects work by Larry Arpin (Maniac Cop, Maniac Cop 2, and Maniac Cop 3), Loraiana Drucker (Friday the 13th Part VII, The Blob), and Michael Hyatt (Leprechaun). Sadly, most of the onscreen talent fell into obscurity, but the bumbling brother, George (Carl Crew) eventually did play Jeffrey Dahmer in The Secret Life of Jeffrey Dahmer. </p> <p>Overall, the film could be the focal point of a five-episode movie review series as there is so much absurdity to analyze, scrutinize, and agonize over.
