Blood Feast may be Lewis’ most famous film and the one that he’ll always be remembered by, but 2000 Maniacs is seen as probably his best film by many fans. The budget’s higher(just a bit), the acting is better(but just a bit), and the story is more imaginative(quite a bit).
Though it’s a gore film, I’d have to say that Blood feast was actually gorier than this one. But 2000 Maniacs(due to the budget it looks more like 20 maniacs) manages to be entertaining coz it actually is interesting and funny.
Blood Feast only had the gore going for it(as well as a few laughs), coz you really can’t say it was terribly interesting as far as story goes. But any way you slice it, both 2000 Maniacs and Blood feast are required viewing for the cult/exploitation/horror film fan, as well as any film historian for that matter.
