there is a conversation between some of the leaders about the recruitment of members in the blood cult where one man says he is disappointed in how the new members just kill for the sake of killing and don't care about the point of it all.
That is how I feel about Satanism. Man when I joined it was about sacrificing to a power unknowable to man for power and knowledge beyond humanity. Now it's a bunch of zoomer kids trying to piss off their Christian moms. Man, it used to mean something.
this movie felt like the movie Blood Cult wanted to be. An actual movie about a blood cult and the people trying to stop it.
The acting is terrible and the plot is stupid, but damn it, that is what we want out of slashers isn't it?
Since you wouldn't know this is a sequel by the title, the film wisely recaps the events of Blood Cult by tossing a reporter asking questions into the opening scene. Once she reveals she has learned too much, she obviously has got to go. It's a great way to catch viewers up on the events of the previous movie while squeezing in an opening kill.
Unfortunately, from there it shifts away from being a slasher like its predecessor and focuses on the blood cult ("The cult of Caninus, the God of death, resurrection, and worldly advancement") attempting to scare an old woman off her land so they can use it for a ritual while the brother of a prior victim…
Revenge picks up directly after the events of Chris Lewis' previous movie, Blood Cult, which I did not realize until after I watched it, thus revealing the evident flaw in picking a title for your sequel with no ties to the name of the first movie. Not that this made much difference, mind you; Revenge adequately fills you in on what you need to know quick enough that you'd easily mistake its verbal recap for run-of-the-mill exposition. Basically, high ranking officials lead by John Carradine, who scored second billing for two minutes of footage shot at his house as he read from a queue card, are trying to run a couple of farmers off their property because they happen to…
This movie is a direct sequel to the movie Blood Cult. I actually got this movie first from Netflix and didn't realize it was the sequel. Lucky for me though, I get two discs at a time and Blood Cult happened to be the next one in my queue.
The story picks up a short time after the first film, with the police at the scene trying to figure out what happened. Eventually, the story jumps two months ahead and picks up the story there with the brother of one of the victims trying to find out what is going on.
Most of the cast returns for this film, which makes sense in some ways. I'm assuming that the two…
This picks up after Christopher Lewis's previous movie blood cult and to be perfectly honest I loved this movie even more than the original but don't get me wrong I loved blood cult and yes I was aware that this was a sequel to blood cult before I watched it. I found this movie more entertaining and enjoyable it's a great and really Underated gem. All in all revenge is a great movie and if you have not seen it I recommend it.
The witch cult of Caninus is still on the prowl, and to investigate their evil deeds all over again is a relative of one of their last victims.
Revenge is the direct sequel to Blood Cult, and the budget was never higher! It's got helicopter shots, a celebrity and a half (John Carradine and Patrick Wayne - John Wayne's son), and 16mm film in the camera. Many of the actors from the first movie return here, which helps the film's intention of picking up right where things left off. The two could easily be edited into one long seamless film, but if you've seen them you'd know that'd be a terrible idea. Revenge is even slower, and gone are the in-your-face gore and slasher narrative.
It's obvious the filmmakers learned how to shoot a better movie. They just forgot to add enough of what made Blood Cult a hit. 🐶
The villain slasher in this looks like Bernie Sanders and it's disconcerting.
THEY WANT YOUR BODY... OR JUST PART OF IT!!!
Revenge is the sequel to Blood Cult which I was actually aware of before I even knew Blood Cult existed. I also saw a poster which had a motorcycle rider with a hatchet, this made me think it would be a slasher with a killer biker but it kinda lied to me.
Either way I still loved it way more than Blood Cult which I found to be slow other than the cool gore. This has a lot more kills which get supernatural.
It opens with the ending from Blood Cult being investigated by the police. A reporter shows up and questions the doctor, however the reporter is killed by a…
"Those crazy Caninus cultists are back at it again, gutting nosey reporter broads in dark alleys, leaving behind those doggie coins at the scene of the crime as a sort of plastic-looking calling card for exactly... nobody who seem to be investigating the murders. When they give Carlton Moore (James Potts) an axe-face death for foolishly investigating that weird noise in the barn, it leaves only his plucky wife, Gracie (Bennie Lee McGowan), to fend off the real estate-maddened zealots, who try to scare her off with a lone motorcyclist, a madman who performs minor ramp jumps and menacingly (not really) kicks her pickup door in hopes that she'll sell the farm to the cult, seeing how their sacrificial altar to Caninus happens to fall inside her property line. Couldn't you guys just kill her and be done with it? Apparently not. The suffering continues..."-

So this actually started out with a really promising scene and a possibly cool plot about a secret cult killing people around the city. Too bad it was dragged down with an awful script and some of the worst acting I've ever seen. I mean it wasn't even entertaining in the cheesy 80’s horror way.
It gets a five star rating, just for the shot of two barns side by side using a close-up shot. There is some chatter in the distance and I imagined the two barns talking to one another. That was some of the best action in this movie (video?). I think this might have been shot on 16mm and later transferred to video, from what I watched in an interview with the director.
