Blood Feast

Blood Feast is considered the first splatter film, and the novelty of that is all I see here. It's a 1963 American film about an Egyptian caterer who kills young women to use the body parts in his business and to offer sacrifices to the goddess Ishtar.




Moria says, "Blood Feast is one of those films that is so bad it exerts its own fascination for reasons that lie somewhere between the terrible and the outrageous." HorrorNews.net calls the acting "downright atrocious" but likes the ending. Stomp Tokyo concludes, "it should be watched for its historical value, but be sure to warm up your hooting and jeering equipment beforehand -you will need it." Roger Ebert's site says, ""Blood Feast" is a terrible film, and a historically important one, too." Rotten Tomatoes has a critics score of 36%.
