It's been quite a while since we've heard anything about director
Marcel Walz's remake of the 1963 H.G. Lewis cult classic BLOOD FEAST. Things
have been pretty quiet on the BLOOD FEAST front ever since the remake's trailer was released online last June. The silence has now been broken, as Walz shared some very good
news with the folks over at Shock Till You Drop: a U.S. distribution deal has
been secured and Medallion Releasing will be putting BLOOD FEAST out in
theatres in the United States on April 28th. The original film is known for being the first "splatter
movie". The synopsis for Walz's take on the material goes like this:
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. He becomes more and more allured by the
goddess as she speaks to him in visions. Eventually he succumbs to her deadly
charms. After this pivotal night, Fuad begins a new life, in which murder and
cannibalism become his daily bread. He starts to prepare a ritual FEAST to
honor his new mistress, a lavish affair dripping with BLOOD, organs, and
intestines of human victims. As butchered bodies are heaped upon the Altar of
Ishtar, Fuad slowly slips further into madness, until he is no more than the
goddess’s puppet, who also thirsts for the blood of Fuad’s wife and daughter...
The remake stars Robert Rusler, Caroline Williams, Sophie Monk,
and Sadie Katz. I'm glad to hear some release news on this one, and am especially
glad that the movie is coming out so soon. I'm looking forward to seeing what
this modern BLOOD FEAST is like.
