.Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

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

I've seen some terrible movies in my lifetime, and this one is no different. Talent-less actors, weak special effects, the movie takes forever to get going and when it does it looks like a bad porn film. Really, this movie is just terrible and everyone involved should be embarrassed. Tragic film making at its worst.

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!!!

One thing this got right is the amount of blood it has. And without having seen the original this is based on (I can only assume that it wasn't a masterpiece either, but still way better than this, it has to be), I can say, that this is really bad. Now I do see the rating this received from others (though none wanted to comment on their rating?) and I can only assume that they were enjoying how bad this is.Like having a blast watching a bad movie with mates/friends. Kind of like "Tulpa" where I had a really good time, despite (or because) the movie was awful. Now this is more or less aware of how bad it is, it actually tries to play into that fact. But just by acknowledging that you are doing something intentionally, doesn't make it fun. There is also a craft in being bad by purpose. This just is infantile (in more than one way). One example is a sign at the diner, that has a joke, but is being shown for way too long. It's in your face, waving with both hands jumping up and down, right in front of your nose. Again, this may be able to entertain in times (for all the wrong reasons), but it's not good - no pun intended
