Product Description

The filmography of late movie maverick Herschell Gordon Lewis brims with the mad, macabre, and just downright bizarre. But perhaps the most unhinged of all his directorial efforts, and certainly the most influential, must surely be his original gore-fest Blood Feast – the first ever splatter movie.

Dorothy Fremont is looking to throw a party unlike any other, and she gets just that when she hires the decidedly sinister Fuad Ramses to cater the event. Promising to provide her guests with an authentic Egyptian feast, Ramses promptly sets about acquiring the necessary ingredients – the body parts of nubile young women!

Featuring a host of stomach-churning gore gags including the infamous tongue sequence and much more nastiness besides, Herschell Gordon Lewis’ Blood Feast more than lives up to its name and remains essential viewing for any self-respecting splatter fan.

In a suburban Miami house, a young woman arrives home and turns on her portable radio which broadcasts news of the latest of several recent murders. The woman turns off the radio and begins to take a bath. Suddenly a gray-haired, wild-eyed man appears in the bathroom and brutally stabs the woman in her left eye, killing her. The man hacks off her left leg with a machete and leaves with it.
The next day at the police station, detective Pete Thornton reviews the latest murder, noting that a homicidal maniac has killed four women without leaving any clues. The police chief advises him to continue to pursue the case.
At Fuad Ramses Catering store, wealthy socialite Dorothy Freemont arrives, where she arranges for Fuad to cater a party for her daughter Suzette. Fuad agrees and tells Mrs. Freemont that what he's preparing hasn't been prepared for over 5,000 years. Mrs. Freemont wants the catering done in two weeks, and Fuad assures her that he will have enough time to procure the last of his needed ingredients. After Mrs. Freemont leaves, Fuad ventures to the back storage room where he has displayed a large gold statue of the "mother of veiled darkness," the goddess Ishtar. Fuad is preparing a "blood feast" - a huge vat containing the dead women's body parts - that will ensure the goddess's resurrection. IT'S CHHHHHHEEEESSSSY Come on!!

The original Gore Film! Silly and awful but wonderful to look at and enjoy over malt liquor with friends. Oversaturated color-palette, ridiculous makeup on Mr. Ramses, laughably bad acting, but strangely creepy/eerie music and title card. See this, drive-in mutants!

5.0 out of 5 stars one of the worse,
Reviewed in the United States on October 9, 2011

best horror movies ever. Start with the worst. 1) acting. Never have I ever seen acting as bad as this. One scene where the police detectives are talking at the police station one of the actors is reading off the script off his desk. One character named Tony couldn't cry if someone else cried for him. Mrs. Freemont acts like she is trying out for a high school play every time she opens her mouth. 2) very bad screen play. The story line was written for creatures with very low I.Q's If anyone can't follow this one. Something is very wrong here. 3) bad directing for the actors. One woman at the first comes in her apartment, turns on her radio, hear about a bunch of women getting murdered then instead of leaving the radio on so she can hear music she turns it off and goes and gets in her bubble bath so the killer however he gets in her apartment can go to her and chop her up while she is bathing. The radio was ONLY turned on for us the people watching the movie so we would know what the plot is )s Now for the best. Blood, Gore, Blood, Gore and more Blood, Gore. That is where 95% of the movies budget went. For its time a classic. I love the film for that. H.G. Lewis was master of gore. five stars for blood and gore only

I chose to watch this knowing it would be a corny old "B" horror movie throwback, of the sort my "Okay Boomer" husband and I prefer. I had no idea "Blood Feast" was a groundbreaking-in-its-day gorefest, nor that it is notorious for its bad acting and low production values. The hour or so spent watching this shorty dragged for me, and I apologized to my husband for picking it. I am giving it three stars to reflect its "mean score" in our household, because my husband actually thought it was "so bad that it was good". I think he reverted to the kid he would've been when this flick was a shocking, titillating, forbidden-to-view-by-the-Catholic Church-so-don't-even-think-you're-going-to-the-theater-for-it thrill.

3.0 out of 5 stars Le premier film gore du cinéma
Reviewed in France on July 15, 2019
Verified Purchase
Également connu sous le titre Orgie sanglante, Blood Feast (1963) est une série Z que l'on doit à Herschell Gordon Lewis et ce petit film est vite devenu célèbre en raison de ses nombreuses scènes sanglantes.
En effet, même au regard des critères actuels, Blood Feast est un film vraiment gore et prend la forme d'un slasher avant l'heure. Aucun film n'était allé aussi loin à l'époque, et il faudra attendre de nombreuses années (disons avec La Nuit des morts-vivants de Romero et Massacre à la Tronçonneuse de Hooper) pour retrouver un tel déballage de ketchup.
De bons passages sinistres (comme le début ou lors de la préparation du “ repas ”) ne permettent pas de cacher l'amateurisme de ce film outrancier. Pas indispensable, mais historique pour le cinéma d'horreur.

5.0 out of 5 stars Classic exploitation splatter!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 6, 2009

Commonly regarded as the world's first ever gore movie, Blood Feast broke all taboos when released to an unsuspecting drive thru crowd way back in 1963. Directed by the guru of gore himself H.G. Lewis and produced by his long time partner David F Friedman who was more famous for his nudie cuties than anything else. The movie tells the story of Fuad Ramses played by Mal Arnold a sinister Egyption caterer who is asked to prepare an authentic Egyption feast by the mother of a young female college student.

Fuad Ramses takes it upon himself to limp from playboy bunny to playboy bunny brutally murdering and stealing various body parts to please the blood god Ishtar and cook up a mouth watering blood feast for his customer.

Ramses is pursued by two surpremely incompetent detectives one of whom was played by the ever perspiring Thomas Wood AKA Bill Kerwin who was a regular in H.G. Lewis movies. There isn't a lot to the plot but it is great fun if you enjoy this sort of trash like I do. Filmed in only 9 days with a budget of only $24,500 it is amazing it has survived in such glorious condition. There is a memorable ending involving the Florida garbage disposal department. Good riddance to bad rubbish that's what I say!

The R1 Something Weird Video release is the only way to go with this movie! The picture quality for a film made over 45 years ago is nothing short of sensational. Framed at it's original aspect ratio of 1:33.1 it looks at times as if it could have been made yesterday! There is no mention on the DVD where they obtained this print from but Id be surprised if a better one exists anywhere! The original English Dolby Digital Mono soundtrack is included and sounds as good as one could expect. There is a lively audio commentary track with H.G. Lewis and David F Friedman and it is nice to hear them remenice about the production. My personal favourite piece of info was to hear that Robert Sinese who was one of the editors is the father of the Hollywood actor Gary Sinese! There is the original theatrical trailer, some rare out-takes (without their original sound but presented with "a mixture of dialogue and music from H G Lewis films"). We have a gallery of exploitation art and to finish off we have the grisly educational short Carving magic in which Bill Kerwin (of Blood Feast) and Harvey Korman (who played Hedley Lamarr in Blazing Saddles) demonstrate how to slice meat correctly.

Blood Feast was one of the original video nasties in the UK and incidently was the oldest movie on the list of 39 titles banned by the Department of public prosecutions. The only other DVD release I am aware of (although Im sure there are others) is the UKs but is cut by 23 seconds removing the scenes where the girl is whipped by Fuad Ramses. I think there may even be some scene substitution in there as well.

5.0 out of 5 stars Arrow Blu Ray Special Edition Review.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 11, 2017

Ground breaking piece of horror history or amateur night at the butchers shop? Maybe a bit of both but either way Lewis's gore debut was the very first of it's kind and invented the splatter movie, a subgenre that reached fruition in the days of grindhouse and has become the commercial norm today. A group of school-play level non-actors link several scenes of messy bloodshed as a dodgy old man with painted eyebrows and a limp hacks his way through nubile teens to recreate a cannibalistic feast in order to resurrect an ancient Egyptian goddess. Plenty of fake red stuff thrown around as legs, hearts, brains etc are removed in scenes never witnessed before, plus the infamous tongue removal scene, all causing outrage back in 1963. Incredibly, not only was this one of the 72 films banned during the 'video nasty' witch hunt of the early 80's in the UK, but also one of the 39 successfully prosecuted by the DPP and legally deemed liable to 'deprave and corrupt'!! Testament not to the power of this movie but to the insanity of those times. It may be laughable stuff now but it's undeniably an important piece of horror history that changed the genre forever. Arrows blu ray is excellent, superb picture quality and a host of must see extras, including a second full length feature from Lewis, Scum of the Earth. Essential purchase for splatter fans, film historians, video nasty collectors and lovers of bizarre cinema. A classic curiosity.
