25 Incredibly Well-Made Horror Films Directed By Women
22. Jackie Kong - Blood Diner (1987)
Jackie Kong's Blood Diner follows two brothers (and their uncle who looks a lot like Krang from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles) who open up a restaurant that serves the best health food in town. Their secret? Its all made from the people that theyve killed in order to resurrect the goddess that they worship named Shitaar. Whos ready for seconds? This horror comedy is one of those rare little-known gems that reminds you of what 80s slasher movies were all about (in this case, a naked kung fu chick and deep frying a womans head and knocking it off with a broom). Fun fact: Blood Diner was originally intended to be a sequel to Herschell Gordon Lewis 1963 proto-splatter extravaganza Blood Feast, but when the collaborators couldnt agree on a scenario the project was changed to a black comedy tribute in the spirit of Lewis cult-classic movie. Overall, Blood Diner has no pretensions, a weak story-line, low-budget written all over it, actors who arent that great at their profession, weird humour, and lots of blood. In other words, it's a must-see.
