Brace yourself for the unequivocally bonkers ride that is Blood Diner. A cult classic slice of mind bending 80s comedy horror on steroids. 

First they greet you, then they eat you! Blood Diner’s deliriously insane story follows two brothers, who – at the behest of their deceased serial killer uncle (now just a talking brain in a jar) – must murder women in order to build a new body for an ancient demon goddess named Sheetar. And the parts they don’t use? They feed to the unwitting customers at their vegetarian diner! 

Directed by pioneering female genre filmmaker Jackie Kong, the film is wild, outlandish, grotesque, goofy, and above all else – relentlessly fun. With a killer soundtrack to boot!. Who knows, maybe we can all summon Sheetar?
