Review of Blood Feast 2: All U Can Eat (2002) by Sean C — 07 Dec 2010

This movie is presented as the sequel to Lewis' 1963 movie, but it is more a rehash than a true follow-up story because it's close to the original. I can hardly believe that Lewis made this movie seriously.

If it is the case, then I have bad news : his directing didn't change (improve) at all in 40 years. This movie has to be one of the worst horror movies I've ever seen, and it doesn't have the historical significance nor the cult following that a few ancient movies (some made by Lewis himself !) enjoy.

There is nothing in this movie that he didn't already do in an earlier work, so it's not even ironically funny. The storyline makes no sense, the sound is at times clearly overdubbed, the editing is harsh, pointless nudity is all over the place, gory special effects fall somewhere between laughable and unsettling, the characters are all incredibly dumb, and everybody except Fuad and the fat cop are played by talentless wrecks of actors overdoing everything erratically.

And the other detective had way too much make-up.
