Reviews

Colibel Terrible acting, screenplay and direction.
Gurlyndrobb While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
Jenna Walter The film may be flawed, but its message is not.
Blake Rivera If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.
Don Burks Rick Burks is my son, so he can do no wrong with respect to his acting (and singing) ability. Still morning his death in a car crash Feb/89 in Los Angeles Wilshire District. RIP son. See ya on the other side....
FoundSelbyVane 2 for all beauty survived slaughter. 2 for fusion of black and white. 1 for vitamin C and death of drug users/dealers and Nazis. besides, I have to commend the porno scene in this film, which makes the whole film looks not so tedious to watch. The reason why I use singular is that only one scene that happens in kitchen was erotic enough. There are a lot of boring scenes in this movie, the most monotonous one is that one of leading actor driving car and running over a fat guy over and over again, while the victim keeps survived from it. It looks like the director wants to create a kind of humour by comparing the undead fat guy to the other fragile victims, whose head can be chopped off by one gentle broom, or one exaggerated action of slice makes whole body breaks into two. No matter what, I finished this film,and as a part of remnant of horror film impression of my childhood, it turns out much more neat than what I had in mind. Don't know whether it's a good or bad decision for me to dug it out, with satisfy and depression, I goes to bed, ready to dream about the black cop and the white tribute girl.
PeterMitchell-506-564364 I expected this film to be an actual serious one. What I got wasn't what I expected, but still the same it was different. Two cannibalistic brothers open this new diner, their Uncle's brain, still functioning, is kept in a jar in the backroom. He was a knife wielding maniac shot at the film's start when taken refuge in the home of their nephews making inventive dishes from putty. Many years later, the boys dig their uncle up as a part of a sacrifice to create this goddess Sheeitah. That may all be well, but this film is an exercise in bad taste, seriously. Like Motel Hell, the ingredients the boys put into their food is not always genuine, where these boys make a rapid turn over. The much better looking guy falls in love with the girl of a cheer leading team who is later all shot to s..t before being cut up, one ingredient necessary at their Uncles request in Sheeitah's creation. Two detectives working this massacre come across similar crime scenes later, and they are pretty gruesome. The male detective is fun to watch, like when trying to come onto his partner with suggestive mouth gestures, like the waggle of his tongue, etc. The female, is a serious straight down the line cop. This horror film is gruesome and will feed horror lover's appetites, but really it just comes off as plain stupid bottom grade trash that is likable, but on a plain surface this is just bad. And what's with the repetition of the line, "Stop screwing around George". Ha ha, I'm really laughing.
merklekranz Right from the git-go with a hilarious scrolling warning of violence to come, the viewer becomes aware that nothing in "Blood Diner" is to be taken seriously. What you get is an over the top dark comedy, that races through 88 minutes at a frantic pace. It all begins with Uncle Anwar's talking resurrected brain that lives in a jar. He commands two doofus nephews in a hilarious scheme to resurrect a Lumerian Goddess. Nothing makes sense, a topless aerobic's class massacre, a female cop named Jackson who looks like a Michael Jackson clone, a competitor diner owner who communicates through his ventriloquist's dummy, a death by falling stalactite scene, and it goes on and on. The film must be seen, as describing it is futile. "Blood Diner" also has an outstanding doo-wop soundtrack. Highly recommended of it's type. - MERK
