Filmed in 1978 but not released until 1983, this uncredited reworking of H.G. Lewis' BLOOD FEAST (1963) shifts the action from Florida to New Orleans, substituting Aztec blood rituals for the Egyptian variety. An Aztec priest travels to various festivals throughout the world to find
prostitutes to sacrifice to Coatla, Goddess of the Four Directions and Queen of Evil in the Universe. Lacking production funding and inspiration, this incredibly tedious effort insists on repeating its only effect--the removal of a woman's heart--ad nauseam. Believe it or not,
anything by H.G.
Lewis is better than this.
