What makes it different from others?
Doomtomylo
a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review

The so called follow up of the first slasher/gore attempt Blood Feast. Everone who has seen that one will remember the score and the extreme red color of the bloodletting. Well, this one has it too but it delivers so much more. It has a lot of black humor but also a lot of gore, and it's so much fun to watch those scene's. a slasher shouldn't be one without some nudity. Men, did he added some, it's all over the top but it works and never gets bored. Even the score is over the top. you will have your cheers and you will have your laughs by watching this well made follow up. I just can't tell more but if you're not in the mood, watch this one it surely will deliver all you can eat.

All cinematic values & qualities aside, you at least have to show respect for Herschell Gordon Lewis. The man was born in 1926! My grandpa was born in 1926! A lot of people's grandfathers were born in 1926! Can you imagine YOUR grandpa directing a movie that constantly features engrossing decapitations, disembowelment, brain removals (through the ear!), gauging eyeballs and lesbian lingerie parties? I wish my gramps was the Godfather of cinematic gore instead of a random guy who keeps nagging about the devastating years of World War II
At the ago of 76, H.G. Lewis suddenly made his one-time comeback with the nearly 40 years overdue sequel to "Blood Feast"; THE gore-movie that inspired all independent horror directors forevermore. The only characteristic proving Lewis actually is an elderly man is the fact that he doesn't evolve with the times. Lewis' filming style is exactly the same as it was forty years ago, meaning not the slightest attempt to tell a decent story, crude & vulgar humor, hideous music, amateurish editing, depthless characters and make-up effects that are ultimately gross but not the least bit shocking or convincing. So basically, yes, "Blood Feast 2: All U Can Eat" is quite an awful film, but not a horror freak in this world is likely to spread negative comments about it. And besides, regardless of all the ineptitude, this undeniably remains a hugely entertaining and often downright hilarious horror film experience! The plot of the sequel is pretty much identical to that of the original. Fuad Ramses III reopens his infamous grandfather's small town catering business and promptly accepts an assignment to cater at the wedding of a local beauty and a dim-witted cop. But Fuad worships the same Egyptian (Babylonian?) Goddess as his grandpa and thus all the sexy bridesmaids' intestines end up on the catering menu during his ongoing search for the ultimate human sacrifice. That concludes the description of the story
or were you expecting something deep & thought provoking, perhaps? There's really no point in "defending" this movie
Either you already were a big fan of H.G. Lewis' oeuvre and decided to LOVE the sequel even before watching it or you never cared for his previous gore films to begin with and, in case of the latter, there's absolutely no reason to seek out this belated effort, neither. For the die-hard fans there are a handful of great surprises, like a delicious cameo of trash-director John Waters (as a gay-paedophilic priest!), purely gratuitous nudity, infantile textbook lesbianism ("Hey girls, let's all get together and try on our sexiest lingerie!"), hilarious dialogs ("I was dropping more hints than mariner soldiers drop soap in the shower") and random stupidity (some guy's corpse lying around everywhere). Thank you very much for this film, Mr. Lewis. I hope you enjoy your well-deserved retirement and live to be hundred years old.

I've been a big H.G. Lewis fan since I first started watching his drive-in splatter films about ten years ago. Films like THE GORE GORE GIRLS, THE WIZARD OF GORE, and of course, the original BLOOD FEAST were some of my earliest forays into more "underground" horror, and I've been hooked ever since. So after a 30 year hiatus from film-making, ol' H.G. comes back with this film - BLOOD FEAST 2: ALL U CAN EAT. Does it hold up against his previous "classicks"? Here's my take: The storyline is relatively simple - Fuad Ramses' (the "bad-guy" from the original BLOOD FEAST) grandson inherits his grandfather's "exotic catering" business and sets up shop. Early on in the film, Fuad III is "possessed" by the Egyptian...er...Babylonian - statue of the goddess Ishtar that resides in a back room of the building. When Ramses is hired to cater a local wedding reception - the preparation for the blood-feast begins when Ramses begins knocking off the bridesmaids in gruesome fashion in order to obtain the necessary ingredients. Hot on his trail are the bumbling duo of weak-stomached and loud-mouthed Detective Myers, and his insatiably hungry partner, Detective Loomis. Will Ramses succeed in fulfilling Ishtar's wishes and preparing a mighty blood-feast, or will the detectives be able to stop his reign of terror in time??? I first caught BLOOD FEAST 2 about 4 years ago at a party, and honestly didn't pay much attention to it because I was drunk and a lot was going on that distracted from watching the film - but I threw this one in last nite to revisit it, and I gotta say - I'm glad I did. BLOOD FEAST 2 definitely has the feel of Lewis' older films, but with a little bit of an "upgrade" for the digital age. Most of the early films in Lewis' catalog are a bit more unintentionally funny, whereas BLOOD FEAST 2 has a very self-conscious comedy angle - which actually works well for this one. There are some truly funny and/or silly "gags" that really work without feeling too forced or out of place. The entire cast does a good job with the material - especially the duo of Myers and Loomis, and they have a strong comedic chemistry that really works. The gore is over the top and suitably "gooey" - as should be expected of any Lewis' production. You can tell that "The Godfather" still revels in the red stuff - to almost masturbatory levels similarly found in THE GORE GORE GIRLS - as brains and eyeballs and guts are squished and fondled in close-up and drawn-out detail. A few gratuitous tits-n-ass shots don't hurt the film any either. A fun soundtrack from SOUTHERN CULTURE ON THE SKIDS and a cameo from B-more legend, John Waters, helped round things out nicely. A truly "fun" film that never really has a dull moment - I fully recommend this one to "splat-stick" style film-fans, or anyone that enjoyed Lewis' earlier catalogue...8.5/10

Herschell Gordon Lewis is a legend in horror/exploitation movies because he basically invented gore as we know it. Val Lewton created fear and terror by using atmosphere and implied horror, but HGL went the opposite way, he let you see it ALL, mainly using animal guts mixed with red paint. Now the reaction of most people to that was a "yeeeew! gross!" and a laugh, but without his pioneering work Romero, Fulci, Raimi et al would be nowhere. Lewis gave up directing over thirty years ago, at least that's what everyone assumed, then suddenly without warning he's back with a sequel to his original trash classic 'Blood Feast'! Some forty years after the original Lewis comes out out with 'Blood Feast 2', featuring his trademark gore, stupid plot and lousy acting. Does it really work after all this time? Well, not really. The first half an hour was enough for me, after that I got kinda bored. J.P. Delahoussaye, who plays Fued Ramses, grandson of the original Fued Ramses (Mal Arnold), tries really hard, but the movie is too repetitive, with scene after scene of the "funny" cops interspersed with Ramses slaughtering another victim. It gets old real fast. By the time John Waters (a major HGL fan) pops up as a reverend I'd had enough. The late great Johnny Thunders once sang "You Can't Put Your Arm Around A Memory", and for me that completely sums up 'Blood Feast 2'. If you haven't seen the original 'Blood Feast' do so, otherwise don't bother with this lame attempt to recapture the past.
