MCT:June 28, 2008I realise that in the Sixties, Blood Feast was cutting edge and hailed as 'the first splatter film' and this makes me somewhat reluctant to slander it.
But this isn't the Sixties.
The "horror" was banal, the acting tiresomely asinine, the plot platitudinous, the dialogue forgettable, the camera movements as smooth as a cat's tongue and the only real element of exploitation was a little whipping toward the end of this ridiculous crapfest.
I wanted so much more. -
MCT:June 24, 2008Awful enough to be cult, and grim and bloody enough to disturbing. Unfortunately, those two aspects don't mesh very well.
(It's hard to have some Ed Woodian laughs, when someone's mother is sobbing about the dress she's going to bury her daughter in.) -

Heralded as the first ever "gore" film, H.G. Lewis' "Blood Feast" really is something else! It's often compared to the likes of Ed Wood films, and I suppose that is a pretty fair assumption (only with a lot more blood). Even though the dialogue is ridiculous and the acting atrocious, this film still manages to be quite a fun trippy ride. I have to laugh at all of the complaints about the acting. I mean c'mon, do you really think Robert De Niro could have played this any better? Personally I think it IS the bad acting in little psychotropic films like this that give'em that certain charm and character.
The story here deals with a man names Ramses, who is attempting to resurrect the ancient Egyptian goddess, Ishtar. To do this, he must perform an Egyptian Blood feast, which he cleverly manages to persuade a naive older woman into having for her daughters birthday. What this woman doesn't know is that this feast requires the body parts of several women. So with that set up, the film follows Ramses along on his quest. Also, in this bizarre story is two of the most stupid cops your ever likely to see on the screen. Watching them try to figure out this devilish plot with the intelligence of pre-schoolers is a riot.
I guess in the end this film has great historical importance as well as cult relevance. The gore is pretty lame compared to todays standards, but hey...you had to start somewhere didn't you? "Blood Feast" is the first of Lewis' "Blood trilogy" which also includes 'Two Thousand Manics' & 'Color Me Blood Red. Highly recommended. -
MCT:April 19, 2008Herschell Gordon Lewis' 1963 horror debut marks a low budget milestone as the first splatter/gore film.

MCT:March 8, 2008Highly entertaining for modern-day gore fans to see where it all began... in 1963 the first splatter film ever was made.

Incredibly entertaining with a great looking cast. And the gore is perfectly over the top. But in reality, it's a very bad movie.

Herschell Gordon Lewis's debut feature is more funny than scary but it is an important film as it set new levels for blood and guts in horror cinema.

Hilarious film even when it tries not to be. I remember the video cover, the REAL video cover, from my video store with a chick with her tounge ripped out.

As I venture forward in my quest to broaden my movie watching horizens. I stumble into some of the old grindhouse style horror films. Back when blood and more of the goriness of films was just starting to be seen in films. So I figured I would start off with Herschell Gordon Lewis one of the first to ever bring these effects into a horror film.
Blood Feast if I understand correctly is his first film with said gore in it. What I want to say first is in order to watch a film like this you have to put yourself in the mindset that this film was made in the 60's. The acting is a little on the corny side. The special effects aren't near what we have now and basically you just have to get in the mindset that back when this film was made it was cutting edge stuff and it probably scared some people. But even at that the film is actually quite good.
As I already mentioned the acting was pretty much lacking. But you have to remember the time and also remember that most of the acting done in horror films even today is poor. They don't really pick all that great of actors to star in horror films. I guess because they are just going to get killed anyways. Also the special effects, as in the blood and the killing, was very poor but again you have to look at the time it was made in. They didn't have the things we have today.
The story overall was decent. It was a little farfetched at times but overall still good. It's a film that I definately could watch again and probably will. I also want to state that the reason I have ventured onto this journey of movie cinema is because of Tarantino's and Rodriquez's Grindhouse. I wanted to see some of the films that inspired the making of such a great double feature of films. Give this one a look just put yourself in the right mindset of when it was made and I think you will enjoy it. Especially them horror fans out there. -

Don't be expecting anything classy from this. If you can do that, and just enjoy it for what it is, and what it started, you are in for a treat.

MCT:August 13, 2007This is the splatter anticlassic all us sickos know and love. The non-plot is, well, pretty simple and it's only an excuse to cut loose with loads of very extreme gore and sadism. Fuad Ramses (Mal Arnold), an Egyptian maniac of pagan bloodlust, must serve up a "blood feast" to Ishtar, his horrible goddess of gory days gone by. Y'know, back when chicks used to get their hearts yanked out on altars IN BLOOD COLOR! How does he get the morsels for his feast? It's an easy guess! Tongues pulled out. Limbs cut off. Brains hacked out in a blood-splattered mess. It's the grand-daddy of all the sickest stuff you've ever seen, and even though it's pretty stupid and bad, it sure is fun! It's even funny on purpose (as well as the other way around). For those of you who dig this unsavory and depraved type of junk the way I do, find this bad mother as soon as possible and surrender to the forbidden pleasures of the first splatter-comedy ever! (I think...)

HG Lewis proves how far gore can take you - not very far. Even though it bored me, it was still better than anything Eli Roth has done.

Great movie with lot's of gore. I loved the bad acting, one guy actually reads lines off the palm of his hand. So good.

Herschell Gordon Lewis was the pioneer of the gore film. The acting is beyond terrible, the background organ music is annoying, but the gore effects are still pretty nasty, even after 45 years. An amputation, a scalping and a tongue removal are what's in store for your viewing pleasure. So bad, so horrible, but for some reason more funny than scary to watch.

MCT:April 29, 2007
Pretty good flick. The effects today would be considered cheesy and that blood is oh so paint red, but if you love the older horror movies, you'll say the effects were damn gruesome for their time. The acting was helter skelter, some good, some bad. Fun little film.

This movie is so bad it's good. Terrible acting, hokey story, cheap sets, but thats what makes the movie for me. If Hollywood made this movie today they would spend 80 million dollars on it and put Tom Cruise and Paris Hilton in lead roles and it would suck. Anyway....poor Connie Mason couldn't act her way out of a wet paper bag and the fellow who played the police cheif was so bad Herschell just told him to yell his lines. Bad acting not withstanding, this film single handedly launched a new genre, the gore/splatter film. All you fans of "Friday The 13th" and "Nightmare On Elm Street" bow to the greatness of H. G. Lewis!
LONG LIVE HERSCHELL!!!! -

The first Gore film. See it, see it now. If you rent it and like it, be sure to look into purchasing Something Weird's Blood box-set.

The first ever gore movie in the world,and still it's one of the goriest.A must watch for people who crave blood.

H.G. Lewis isn't really director as much as a showman.Indeed much of this is of the point and shoot variety and if the actors stumble over each others lines just keep rolling as long as screen time is being filled.Still Blood Feast ranks high historically as the first bona fide drive-in splatter movie.Sure it's crude and completely unconvincing with it's meat covered mannequin parts but that's part of it's goofy charm.It also has some of the funniest bad acting and awful dialogue in bad movie history.For whatever reasons imaginable Blood Feast still endures and remains one of the best sellers in Spmething Wierd Video's line up.Remember,"It hasn't been served in five...thousand...years!" He,he,he.

The aka "treat Egyptian of" treat "of blood of Herschell Gordon Lewis of blood" of 1963 is a film at a cheap rate produced and unhappy acted and a hilarious involuntary comedy, but it must be respected like first film of spindle ever made. In order to ressusciter the macabre deity, it kills and mutilates young women in order to create a new body for the spirit of Ishtars, which it projects to form out of the body-parts that it cuts out of its victims. the "treat of blood" is not a film to be taken seriously, but it must rather be observed like hilarious involuntary comedy, and as important piece of film history which it is while the first splash never film.
The points minimalistic of drum, however, adapt pretty good in film. All known as, "treat of blood" is a film at a cheap rate produced and unhappy written with actors of the really bad kind, but it is also a hilarious involuntary comedy, gorier still that I expected that it is. 5/10
