cinema history class: blood feast (1963)

The session: "Blood for Blood's Sake"
We watch Herschell Gordon Lewis' blood trilogy as well as a film by one of his asscoiates.


As always, there may be spoilers here. And the trailer may be NSFW and/or NSFL.

Week 1: Blood Feast (1965)
Directed by Herschell Gordon Lewis

My Impressions Going In:
Never heard of it.

Plot:
Blood Feast
, to put it gently, sucks. The low budget sets, the bad sound, the orange makeup...It was all ineptly made.

I give it points because I was amused by the final scene, and because the movie was, apparently, the first of its kind. Being an innovative groundbreaking film should count for something.

Ratings
Me: 3.5
Bob-O: 7.2
Christina: 5.8
Dave: 8.2
Ethan: 4
