Blood Diner! A new (to me) favorite trashy movie!
(★★★)
Right off the bat this seems like a sequel to Blood Feast… Though, as it proceeds, that starts to seem too obvious.
Young Georgie and Mikey are home alone playing and practicing their black magic hypnotism when nutty Uncle Anwar shows up, butcher knife in hand, pursued by the police. He has just a few wise words for them before his well earned demise: don’t forget him, and remember everything he taught you.
Handy words because, see, Uncle Anwar wants to perform a feast ritual to bring back the goddess Sheetar! So, twenty years later, his loyal nephews dig him up, put his brain in a jar, and begin working on the Feast preparations via their vegetarian restaurant. For Sheetar, they also need to construct a body from the parts of immoral women (ala Frankenhooker), so between the body parts for Sheetar and the body parts for the feast, they need lots of body parts!
So, while it definitely has a Blood Feast spirit, it is far far more fun.
Featuring: beheadings, faux-nazis, tons of inappropriate dialogue, wrestling, nude aerobics and martial arts, driving over people, limbs being pulled off, eyeballs popping out, a fanged tummy, terrible dialogue (all of which looks like it was dubbed), terrible acting, projectile vomiting, great dialogue (“At least eight tongues must be set aside for proper aging”). It is terrible, but also endlessly entertaining.
I also rewatched:
The Void
(★★½)
I thought it was fine the first time through, but not quite as into it the second time around… The “creatures who walk on four legs” are interesting and the landscape in the Void is intriguing, but comes to no relevance.
