Blood Diner (1987 -- R)

Blood Diner has always been a personal favorite of mine. Mostly because I don't think anyone can make a bad movie on cannibalistic cookers who feed their victims to unsuspecting patrons. This rare movie has it all, from topless aerobics, to an array of violence and gore. This movie is the epitome of 80s cheese and definitely worth the time it takes to hunt this gem down. Especially if you're into movies that are so amazingly bad, they're good.

Blood Diner begins in the mid-1960s, where we meet brothers Michael (Rick Burks) and George (Carl Crew) Tutman. They're young boys kicking back and playing in their living room when Uncle Anwar (Drew Godderis) pays them visit. Except Anwar has just been involved in a brutal murder and the cops have quickly surrounded the house. A blistering gun fight breaks out on the Tutman lawn and Anwar is shot to death.

Fast-forward to the 1980s and brothers Michael and George aren't all there in the head. They've robbed the grave of Anwar, grabbing his penis and brain, where they've placed it into a jar and brought life back to their uncle. With him leading the way, the three devise a plan to resurrect Shitaar, the 5 million year old Egyptian goddess. To do this, they need the body parts of women from around town, so the butchering begins. The leftover body parts, and their local competition, end up becoming the most popular meal in town.

The movie ends with an orgasm of gore worthy of any splatter fest title. Which pretty much sums up this entire film, nothing but gore. There isn't much of a plot here and the acting is rather poor, but that's ok because we know from the start of the film that this movie isn't trying to take itself too seriously. And as I've learned over the years, these b-horror movies that try to take themselves seriously often fail. Zombies, cannibalism and boobs dominate this movie and make for an enjoyable 88 minutes.

Oddly enough, this movie was supposed to be the sequel to H.G. Lewis' classic "Blood Feast", however those plans were later dropped and Blood Diner was born. Instead, we're given a decent enough movie that compliments the nastiness and profound shockingness of Blood Feast without looking like a total ripoff.

Blood Diner is an enjoyable flick thats sole purpose is to entertain. Nothing about this movie should be taken genuinely and I think that's what makes it so entertaining. Graphic, appalling and just down right fun makes this a definite must see for any horror fan that loves cheesy 1980s horror.
