Plot
The film centers around a wealthy man named Hugo. He spends most of his time driving his helicopter picking up beautiful women in Mexico. After he wines and dines them he decapitates them, grinds them up, and feeds them to his pack of cats who live in his basement. He adds their severed heads to his collection of human heads which he keeps in jars.[1]
Fan Fare
"Blood Feast" supports little fan base, but has made a home for itself amongst exploitation film fans. The film caused mild controversy due to its seemingly cruel treatment to the cats. One scene depicts Hugo violently grabbing a large white cat and tossing him over a high wall into its pen. The camera does not cut away, thus indicating that the real cat was thrown.
