Blood Feast 2: All U Can Eat [DVD] [2002]

This bloody feast is a bloody good time
Blood Feast 2 is one of the most unlikely sequels in the history of cinema. Lewis appeared to have retired from filmmaking for good following The Gore-Gore Girls in 1972 leaving behind film to pursue a career in advertising. Lo and behold few people would have expected him to return to the fold 30 years later with a sequel to Blood Feast, his most infamous film ever. Who knows what really possessed Lewis to make this film? It is never explained despite the numerous features on this special edition DVD, but Blood Feast 2 proves that Lewis still has the ability to deliver the goods even in his twilight years. Think this movie might be a little soft considering Lewis is now 75? Think again.

In an unnamed small southern town, an independent caterer opens up shop. The caterer's name is Fued Ramses, whose grandfather was the one that sacrificed people in honour of an Egyptian goddess in the original Blood Feast. Well, Fued seems to have picked up a few tricks from grandpa's trade...

A sequel 40 years in the making!
Yes, this sequel is 40 years in the making and has been talked about probablly more than any other sequel in horror history over the past few years. Jackie Morgan succeeds where others have failed, not only coaxing the over seventy year- old "Godfather of Gore" Herschell Gordon Lewis back into the director's chair but also bringing back David Friedman, producer of the original. The crown jewel of this cult film follower's wet dream is the participation of infamous cult director John Waters in his cameo apperance as a minister, of all things! The plot is inconsequential because what everyone is interested in seeing is the blood and guts style stomach churners that Lewis is famous for and he definately does not disappoint. Add some extremely campy dark humor to the mix and you have all the makings of a cult masterpiece! A must see for gorehounds or fans of HGL!

Gooey, gory fun
Splatter fans will have much to enjoy in the return of the "Godfather of Gore," H. Gordon Lewis to filmmaking. "Blood Feast 2: All you can eat" is not a sequel to his infamous 1963 classic, "Blood Feast," but rather a re-make. This is a movie that couples lots of blood and guts with a wink and a nudge. "Blood Feast 2" needs to be seen with a rowdy crowd of friends.

The plot is silly and the acting is cheesy, but it's all done with tongue in cheek (or ripped out). A quick summary: Fuad Ramses III (played to perfection by J.P. Delahoussaye), grandson to the Ramses of the first film, has returned to town to resume the catering duties of his grandfather. He's actually a slave to a goddess named Ishtar (not the movie), housed in a statute, commanded to dismember as many people as he can for his bloody buffet.

Hot on his trail are two bumbling cops, Detective Myers (Marc McLachln), whose weak stomach gets the best of him at crime scenes;...
