I just saw BLOOD FEAST 2 (a sequel to the 1963 gore classic) at the Vatikan.
It was the most fun I had on a Wednesday night in a really really long time. I
laughed my ass off! Who says you need good acting and a high budget to make a
rockin flick? All you need is some charisma and some guts (literally)!!! And
man was there not a lot of guts. Yes, guts! Bloody GUTS!! (and bloody hearts,
and bloody livers, and bloody brains.)
The plot in short: A new caterer arrives in town. He is hired by a bitchy
mother to cater her daughter's wedding. The caterer gets possessed by a statue
of the ancient goddess Ishtar. He is determined to use human parts in preparing
the wedding feast. So, he begins to carve up the town's women (who also happen
to be friends of the bride) and remove their organs. The town's detectives (one
of which is the groom) struggle (pathetically) to figure out who is responsible
for the heinous crime.
The gore is as explicit as you get. The most gruesome part is when the caterer
plucks out the eyes of one of the woman. For those who are tired of movies
leaving the gore to the imagination: this is a real treat. It shows all! But,
it's the cheesy (but so wonderfully cheesy) humour that makes all the guts,
plucked eyeballs, livers, fingers, and maggots go down easy. One of the most
hilarious parts is when the fat detective wipes off his sweat at a crime scene
with an oven mitt that the caterer left behind and simultaneously complains
that there are no clues (you had to be there).
There were also some not so effective parts: I saw almost all the dead women
breathe while they are dead. The movie is already highly unrealistic. There is
just so much believability that one can ask the audience to suspend. Letting
dead chicks breath is really pushing it! The neck slicing parts also need work.
It looks like the caterer is using the dullest knife possible: it just wont
carve through!
All in all: it was worth the time. Both, for the bloody gore, and the quirky
knee slapping humour. And best of all: I got to drink throughout the movie cuz
it was at the Vatikan! (I think the horror flick at a bar thing is sooooo cool.
I'm looking forward to Vatikan's next gore flick: the RE-ANIMATOR on April 17).
