I've sunk to a new low. When I walk down the horror isle, I try to find something smart, intelligent, thought provoking, and unique. I try to avoid the typical horror movie dreck. So why did I pick Blood Diner? God knows why. And the weirdest part?
I liked it.
I liked it a lot.
I don't think I've laughed this hard in so long. The movie has all the trademarks of a slasher movie: Gratuitous and useless nudity, over the top nonsensical gore, cops with no brains, teenagers as the main characters, etc. However, this film knows its bad, so it actually tries to be funny. And it succeeds. The story itself is something about a pair of teens who are in an Egyptian cult, and plan to resurrect an ancient Goddess. To do this, they first have to take various parts from women and build a body for the goddess, then sacrifice a virgin to the goddess while partaking in a cannibalistic feast... hey, waitaminute, this sounds familiar... TOO familiar..... *jogs memory* Wait a minute, this is a remake of Blood Feast! O.O Just with intentional humour instead of silliness being the punchline. Oh well, anyways, this leads to some of the silliest death scenes put on film. That's saying something. My personal favourite is the sequence in which a girl gets her head fried into a giant butter ball, and walks around the room trying to find her way and then the main character knocks her head off with a broom. it's so stupid and yet I laughed. The impromptu naked kung-fu scene was also pretty funny, even if it did come out of absolutely nowhere.
Blood Diner is an awful movie. I mean AWFUL. But as a bad comedy, it was absolutely fricken hysterical, and because of that the only way I can fairly rate it is with two ratings.
As a movie: 2.5/10
As a bad dark comedy: 8.5/10
