Blood Feast


Fuad Ramses and his family have moved from the United States to France, where they run an American diner. Since business is not going too well, Fuad also works night shifts in a museum of ancient Egyptian culture. During these long, lonely nights he is repeatedly drawn to a statue representing the seductive ancient goddess ISHTAR. He becomes more and more allured by the goddess as she speaks to him in visions. Eventually he succumbs to her deadly charms.

After this pivotal night, Fuad begins a new life, in which murder and cannibalism become his daily bread. He starts to prepare a ritual FEAST to honor his new mistress, a lavish affair dripping with BLOOD, organs, and intestines of human victims. As butchered bodies are heaped upon the Altar of Ishtar, Fuad slowly slips further into madness, until he is no more than the goddess’s puppet; and she thirsts for the blood of Fuad’s wife and daughter too…

PROJECT DETAILS
  • Originally had a June 23rd then a July 28th 2017 limited theatrical release, but it was once again delayed due to failing to secure an R-rating with the MPAA.
  • Hannover House had originally planned an April 28th limited theatrical release to a handful of selected markets. However, after reportedly receiving an enthusiastic reaction from horror fans, media outlets and theaters, the decision was made to delay the theatrical launch to June, in order to significantly expand the release and promotional opportunities. The June 23 theatrical release will carry the branding of both Hannover House and Crimson Forest and will reach all of the top forty largest markets, ranging from single screen exclusive engagements to mini-multiple runs.

  • The film had a crowdfunding campaign in 2015, where they were hoping to get more funding for additional FX.
  • Marcel Walz was quoted saying: "This project makes one of my longest dreams come true. To realize the remake of the cult movie BLOOD FEAST feels like winning the lottery to me. The fact that the production studio gives me all their trust is an honor. I have very much respect for the realization of this movie and will try everything to make the remake live up to people´s expectations – to make it as bloody and brutal as they hope for it to be!"
  • Sadie Katz (Wrong Turn 6: Last Resort) will be playing the goddess Ishtar.
  • Directed by Marcel Walz (Seed 2).
  • Herschell Gordon Lewis is rumored to have a cameo appearance in the film.
  • Reportedly budgeted at an estimated $1.2-million.
