Blood Feast
Director: Herschell Gordon Lewis
Actors: William Kerwin, Mal Arnold, Connie Mason
PlotIn the suburbs of Miami, a series of gruesome murders shocks the community. The killer, a mysterious figure, targets young women, leaving their mutilated bodies as an ominous signature of his crimes. These killings are not merely random acts of violence; they are part of an arcane ritual. The police, led by detective Pete Thornton, are baffled by the brutality and bizarre nature of the murders and are under pressure to catch the perpetrator before he strikes again.
Meanwhile, local caterer Fuad Ramses is known for his exotic Egyptian-themed feasts. Unbeknownst to his customers, Ramses is a deranged worshiper of Ishtar, an ancient Egyptian goddess. He believes he must prepare a grand feast to resurrect the deity, a "blood feast" made from the body parts of his victims. His next catering gig is for a young woman's party, conveniently providing him with a venue to complete his sacrificial opus. As the date of the event draws near, the detective's investigation closes in, and the killer's true intentions begin to surface, setting the stage for a chilling confrontation.
