Blood Feast 2

[Cydeous]

I just saw a theatrical screening of this film. I was very excited to check it out, especially since there is a DVD coming out soon. I vaguly remember "Blood Feast" but it's safe to say that it was a more effective film. In 1963, it must have been quite the shock to see such grand guignol type violence. The comedy surly didn't diminish the gore scenes.

"Blood Feast 2: All U Can Eat" was along the same lines but not as effective. The comedy was slapstick and wallowed in self parody to the point where the violence seemed somewhat incapable of grossing me out (even though it was very graphic).

Overall, I did enjoy the movie. Fans of HGL and ultra-gore will love this film for sure. However, if you are looking for something disturbing then you won't find it here. I'd say it's a cross between "The Naked Gun" and HGL's earlier work.

Now I want to re-watch his earlier works because it's been a while since I last saw them.
