My Grading System

A+ = Masterpiece (I hold back on this one.) / A = Great. / A- = Really Good. / B+ = Good. / B = Decent (Serviceable). / B- = Flawed but okay (For those times there's something redeeming about the work). / C+ = Not very good (Skip it). C = Bad. / C- = Awful. / F = Complete Disaster (I hold back on this one too).

Note on Spoilers: I will try to avoid ruining a story by going into too much detail. But if I wish to include some revealing points to my analysis I will try to remember to add a separate spoiler paragraph.

Blood Feast (1963)

This Herschell Gordon Lewis directed low-budget gore film is more of a novelty than a good movie.  It's amateur hour all over it with only a minutes of decent anything.  The acting is bad, the story is bad, the look of the film is so bright and bleached out that it feels more like a home movie than anything meant to entertain an audience.  The story revolves around a man who worships Ishtar and is preparing a feast of human flesh.  Detectives are on his trail but will they catch him before he serves up his human dishes?  More famous for its gory details and low-budget feel, I would only watch this if that kind of thing thrills you.  Grade: C.
