•A mad killer murders young women and then mutilates their bodies, extracting organs or anatomical parts. The police are in the dark because the madman leaves no clues at the crime scenes. The last victim, however, is found still alive and manages to give the authorities some important information that leads to the capture of the madman. Known as the first splatter film in history "Blood Feast", in reality, it is more than anything else a "gore" movie, in fact, in the film we are shown mutilated and dismembered corpses but never the hand of the killer "at work", the viewer can only witness the result of his "work". This is essentially due to the fact that, in the early sixties, genre directors did not have great special effects and not much more could be done. Overall, the film is appreciable above all from a "historical" point of view, for the fact of having launched the "splatter" genre into the world, but to the eyes of the modern viewer it will appear dated, also due to the excessively "theatrical" performance of the actors. The film is available only in the original language with subtitles.
