Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

Fuad Ramses (Robert Rusler) moves to Paris with his wife and daughter (Caroline Williams and Sophie Monk) where he has spent every last cent opening an American diner in the suburbs. To make ends meet, Fuad also works as a nightwatchman at a museum, where he encounters Egyptian goddess Ishtar, who promises him life eternal as her lover. But first he must serve up a special feast in her honour...Herschel Gordon Lewis' influential splatter classic Blood Feast is undeniably amateurish and quite dull, but at least it's gory; Marcel Walz's 2016 version of the film is even more boring than the original and almost as inept, but doesn't even deliver on the blood and guts.A full fifty minutes of dreary, badly scripted, poorly acted build up precedes the film's one and only genuinely gory moment, a juicy throat slashing, after which the film settles back into 'dry' mode. The remainder of the movie is uneventful and, despite its handful of recognisable 'stars', the whole thing lacks professionalism.What this film needed was a better supporting cast (the European performers are terrible), a degree of intentional cheeze, a sense of fun, and, most importantly, lots of graphic gore so that it could at least live up to the title.Worse than the original film, worse than Blood Feast 2: All U Can Eat (2002), much worse than Mardi Gras Massacre (1978), and even worse than Blood Diner (1987), about the only thing going for this mess is the suggestion that Ishtar is a figment of Fuad's imagination, the restaurateur having neglected to take his daily medication for an unspecified ailment - an interesting idea, but it's not enough to prevent me giving this garbage the lowest possible rating.

Ishtar was Sumerian, not Egyptian. This is a sad attempt to make Goddess worship about sacrifice, which it isn't.

Fuad Ramses and his family have moved from the United States to France, where they run an American diner. Since business is not going too well, Fuad also works night shifts in a museum of ancient Egyptian culture. During these long, lonely nights he is repeatedly drawn to a statue representing the seductive ancient goddess ISHTAR. Blood Feast is confusing, boring, messy and quite weird to say the least but also way far from being entertaining to say the least. The overall acting was also really horrible and the movie was neither scary either in the end.

I was really let down by this remake. You'd think in today's time with movies like Saw and Hostel, this would be gorier because it's based on one of the original classic splatter films, but no. The gore was kinda 'meh' The movie is a slow burner with generic characters like Penny Ramses and her boring friends. The original was great for its time; it was so cheesy and corny that it's pretty epic. The gore was bright and colorful and showed the classic look of the 1960's, but this movie's color is off. It looks like it was made by a low budget independent company, and honestly I couldn't even see how it ended. The lighting was too off. There was a flashlight and some screaming and next thing I know, it's over. The movie is about Fuad Ramses, an American living in Paris with his wife and daughter. Fuad owns an American Diner and is a security guard at a museum. For some reason, he starts seeing hallucinations of the goddess, Ishtar, who tells him to offer her a 'blood feast' so he goes around killing people. Just do yourself a favor and skip this movie and re-watch Hershell Gordon Lewis's original classic. I would not recommend the remake of BLOOD FEAST!!!
