Plot Summary:
Herschell Gordon Lewis, the godfather of gore, documents his first attempt at making his audience repulse in disgust with Blood Feast. After viewing Blood Feast 2: All U Can Eat last month, the B-flick chicks decided to check out the original. Equipped with body parts, a madman and a variety of eye candy, BF can be defined as the blueprint of early and even modern gore flicks of today.

Fuad Ramses, a caterer specialized in 'exotic' cuisines, agrees to serve Mrs. Fremont's dinner party in honor of her daughter Suzette. With a request for something unusual by Mrs. Fremont, Fuad decides that this is the perfect opportunity to prepare a feast fit for his object of worship, Goddess Ishtar. Goddess Ishtar is a goddess of beauty and lust, but unlike Venus or Aphrodite, this one has an appetite for blood. Similar to the feast of Roman times, body parts from young women were used to prepare the entrees. As Fuad stalks unsuspected women he takes what he needs from each one. A tongue, a leg, and even the brains of these nubile creatures complete his masterpieces. Local town folks are left to fend for themselves as the young women are forced to hole up at their homes at night while the police run in circles scratching their heads. But with the dinner party underway and Suzette as the final sacrificial offering, the police must hurry and find the killer before it's too late.

Blood Feast special edition includes additional footage such as audio commentary, the original trailer and a gallery of exploitation art. The rare outtakes section provides deleted scenes with sound bites and music from Hershell's own vault. And for those who plan on inviting the folks over for Thanksgiving this year, a short film aptly named 'Carving Magic' might be just what you need to impress even the most seasoned chefs.

Here's what the critics have to say:
Candi: For it's time it was okay. With this type of movie, I like humor but this one wasn't very humorous. It was innovative for it's time.

Charlotte: It was boring. I don't see how it evolved from what its [gore] like today. Everything was so serious and dry. I'm glad it was only an hour. If it was two hours long, I wouldn't know what to do.

Tara: I liked it. It's something you would see in a drive-in or when I was up late. I thought it was entertaining and for what it was, I thought it was funny.

Terri: It was very dated and very appropriate for that time period. It's a true B-flick.

Lynn: The fact that nobody else thought of cutting someone's leg off, the fact that you see a lot of elements of this movie in so many gore flicks today, I would include this in my collection just because. Yeah, I thought it was dry but if I walked into a theatre during that time and saw this, I would've freaked out.

Jane: Bad acting kept me giggling. It was a bit dry but I had things to focus on: Fuad’s crazy eyebrows, the clueless detectives, and trying to figure out who was reading script from their hand. Overall, I think the second Blood Feast was better.

Highlight’s:

• Female in bathtub gets her eye gauged out.

• Female in bathtub also gets her leg sawed off.

• Female on the beach gets scalped and Fuad takes off with her brain.

• Blonde chick gets her tongue pulled out while she's alive and screaming.

• Body parts laying everywhere and a baked leg in the oven of Fuad's kitchen.
