After all this time I’ve no reccollection of who we purchased the rights for this piece of exploitation, but I know it was acquired on one of our business visits to the States. I’ve read that the film is a loose remake of the Herschell Gordon Lewis film ‘Blood Feast’ and there’s no doubt there are too many simularities to dissmiss that claim. The plot as such is simple enough with the police trying to capture someone who is commiting ritual murders of women during Mardi Gras in New Orleans. The film was shot on a shoestring and is badly acted and has dreadful sets, but due to its bloody nature it sold well. IMDb trivia states “The film was listed as one of the DPP’s 72 video nasties in the UK and even made the final list of 39 official titles for prosecution. It has yet to receive a UK release.” But I don’t recall us having any problems with the title. The colourful label was again designed by Marianne Frost.
