Blood Feast 2 on DVD in January

17 December 2009

Two generations after the cannibalistic caterer Fuad Ramses wreaked bloody havoc in the suburbs of Miami, his heir and grandson, Fuad Ramses III is on hand to revive the family business. Unaware of his grandfather's indiscretions, and having inherited his ancestor's bakery and confectionary store, young Fuad takes over the premises and sets about establishing himself as the supplier of quality food to the local community. Unfortunately, he is immediately possessed by the long-dormant demonic icon of Ishtar, an ancient, blood hungry goddess. Soon, Fuad is sequentially knocking off the guests of a wedding for which he has been employed to oversee the catering requirements and is using their bloody remains as the secret ingredients in his culinary delights.

Unsuccessfully trying to get to the bottom of the current spate of bizarre murders are a couple of bumbling cops, one of whom is due to be the groom at the forthcoming nuptials, the other a food-junkie who develops an irresistible appetite for Fuad's delicious wares.

From the legendary Godfather of Gore, Herschell Gordon Lewis (The Wizard Of Gore; She-Devils On Wheels; Two Thousand Maniacs), comes the tongue-in-cheek (and in several of the film's more graphic moments, "tongue out of cheek") splatterfest, Blood Feast 2: All U Can Eat, the long-awaited sequel to his 1963 classic Blood Feast. Once more, Lewis serves up an extra fresh order of brains, guts and various other body parts to prove he's lost none of his blood-soaked touch for comedic carnage and murderous mayhem.

Laugh out loud funny and featuring some of the most gory and graphic murder scenes ever committed to celluloid, Blood Feast 2 delivers everything one could want from a mindless, horror-comedy B-movie, from eye-gouging, dismemberment, brain removal and disembowelment to gratuitously flesh-baring scream queens and a throbbing psychobilly soundtrack by underground rockers Southern Culture on the Skids. To top it all off, fans of cult writer-director John Waters should keep an eye out for the man himself delivering an hilariously irreverent cameo turn as a paedophile priest.

Blood Feast 2: All U Can Eat (cert. 18) will be released on DVD by Arrow Video on 11th January 2010 at the RRP of £15.99. Special Features include:

  • On the Set with Herschell Gordon Lewis;
  • Gore Gourment; Behind the Gore;
  • Behind the Scenes;
  • Deleted Scenes.

For collectors, this release also comes with a reversible sleeve that gives fans the choice of displaying the movie's original UK rental video artwork or a newly commissioned piece of oil painting artwork, plus a poster of the same and a collector's booklet.
