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

Plot summary
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; and she thirsts for the blood of Fuad's wife and daughter too.

A Boring Disappointing Remake to a Cheesy Classic!!!
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!!!
This is a scurvy film. Ryan Nicholson, the fx guy did some good job but the lingering gory n cannibalism scenes were a put off.
Saw this on a dvd. I got enticed due to Sadie Katz n the trailer. What a disappointment this film turned out to b. Ther was absolutely zero suspense n tension. This movie is completely devoid of any atmosphere. The plot is about an owner of a diner who is also moonlighting as a watchman in a museum of Egyptian artefacts. He stops taking his pills n during one of his work shift he sees the Egyptian goddess who demands him of blood n sacrifice which will enable their reunion. Ther was too much gore n i fast forwarded some scenes, especially of the cannibalism. The effects by Ryan Nicholson is noteworthy but the lingering gory scenes were a letdown for me. Also the abrupt ending added more fuel to its already awful screenplay. It is a remake of the 1963 film which i hav completely forgotten. Mayb will revisit soon. The original was directed by the father of gore films, Herschell Gordon Lewis. They say the original was the first splatter film n one of the earliest to enter video nasties.
