Blood Diner (1988)

[IguanaGirl]

Wow this was terrible, but in a wonderful way!  A news broardcast at the start proclaims the killer is armed with a "meat cleaver in one hand and his genitals in the other".  
It has everything- grave robbing, cannibalism, nude gymnastics massacre and a weird goddess made out of bodyparts.
The two main actors do a supprisingly good job of playing two demented young men out to raise a bloody goddess in a body they sew together out of their victims and spraypaint gold. Im sure one of them was high on something during most of the movie.
Has anyone else seen this ?

No I haven't but sounds pretty twisted and worth a watch.  I guess the goddess and I have much in common, for I am made out of body parts too! haha!  

Bad joke, but just had to do it

[Mr_Vindictive]

They spray paint the goddess with gold paint?  Wouldn't she suffocate!?

Yep, seen it, guilty pleasure for sure.

Since s**tar is stitched together from the body parts of various murdered "horny sluts" and awaked by the black arts, I somehow think a little gold paint won't bother her.

I know the film borrows from "Blood Feast", and according to comments on IMDB, was intended at first to be a sequel to BF, it shows.

Kind of like a Troma film, or a cheap cousin of "Dead Alive", too silly to be taken seriously, but definitely not for everyone.

For extra goofy pleasure, try watching the edited version if it ever turns up on Sci-Fi again. Between the jumpy cuts (I'm not even sure the naked kung fu girl/falling stalagtite death scene is in there) and the scenes where over half of the screen is blurred out (parts of the "battered girlfriends" scene and probably the naked aerobics cheerleader video scene, it's been a while since I saw it on Sci-Fi). One of those times you find yourself asking, "Why did they even bother to try to show it?"

reminds my a bit of Resurrection

[mr. henry]

found it...i remember starting to watch this but the S&M and actually pretty mean-spirited violence (?...as opposed to???...good spirited violence) kind of put me off. i just wasn't in the mood. i'll watch it this weekend.

I think the "suffocating from gold blocking your pores" thing is a myth that probably got started from people having different kinds of adverse reactions to body paint, like Buddy Ebsen when he was the tin man.

Snopes.com or the Straight Dope have explained that the gold paint blocking the  pores thing IS a myth.

I can see your point about it being mean-spirited, Mr. Henry, I remember vaguely similar feelings the first time I saw it. But since the tone of the film was so comedic and over the top, almost wacky, it bothered me less than it did you it seems. I remember wondering about how healthy the writers' relationships with women were. I was surprised to find out that director Jackie Kong is a woman!
