Did I hear that right? The man is making gore again, I honestly can't say I saw that one coming.Thirty years of silence, then, out of nowhere, Herschell Gordon Lewis finally gets bored and makes his triumphant return to Exploitation Country by creating something that would make Lloyd Kaufman himself blush. Seriously, what a delight this wonderful movie is, this one is definitely in the top five, goriest of all time, plus, Mr. fat man constantly stuffing his face adds more than one would think, among other forms of juvenile humor. And let's not forget the abundance of nudity, definitely something the original was missing. Blood Feast 2 is 100% entertainment. This modern-day, drive-in epic starts with 2 pointless gory killings, just for a warm up. Next we are introduced to Fuad Ramses III, you guessed it, Fuads grandson, he just inherited his grandfathers catering service. I love how there's zero attempt at originality, no attempt at passable acting, pure, inept, drive-in sleaze, this could have easily been made 30 years earlier. Fuad III is soon possessed by that same statue. Now Fuad is starting to look and act more like his grandfather, still, not trying all that hard, but we get the idea. Fuad III is a little more laid-back than Fuan one, and he's only slightly better at hiding his evil intentions, but nonetheless, the new Fuad has a lot of people to unrealistically mutilate, and a wedding to cater, plus, the mother of the bride is driving him even crazier. A lot of the same situations as the original, any other time, that would be a bad thing, but this is the ironically unoriginal sequel to the one that started it all.
Blood Feast 2 is full-blast, shamelessly self-parodying, and flaunts the same imperfections as the original ended up with, and that irreverent humor that just didn't exist in 1963 makes this one hilarious. What we have here is quite a rarity, authentic, 60's Drive-in. exploitation for the new millennium, you just don't see that every day. Something so rare could only be created by someone as old as Herschell Gordon Lewis. Blood Feast 2, much like anything from Lloyd Kaufman, is gold, and should be treasured as such. 9/10
