BLOOD CULT: One of the strangest crimes in recorded history took place on a small, mid-western campus. Each victim was a sorority co-ed. And each time the killer struck, he mutilated his victim. He took one of their body parts and left a golden amulet nearby... and the only clue, the story of an ancient witch coven, thought to be long dead, that worshipped the devil god Caninus, and known as THE BLOOD CULT! BLOOD CULT - a movie so gruesomely realistic, the production was banned from two mid-western campuses. Crafted in the tradition of such horror classics as PSYCHO and HALLOWEEN, with an ending so surprising, we dare you to guess who the killer is. BLOOD CULT - the first movie made for the home video market - after seeing it, you may never want to leave the security of your home again! RT: 89 min, Color, 1.33:1, 1985 REVENGE: This shocking suspense thriller, starring Hollywood film legends Patrick Wayne (YOUNG GUNS) and John Carradine (THE HOWLING), is a sequel to the groundbreaking made-for-video gore fest BLOOD CULT.

Mike Hogan (Patrick Wayne) returns to the terror-stricken community to visit the grave of his brother, who is the latest to be slain, and soon begins his own murder investigation. His investigation soon pits him against the sinister and devilish Blood Cult. RT: 104 min, Color, 1.33:1, 1986

rating due partly to false information
Just a quick note about this specific product rather than the movies included. The description given for this product is FALSE and is misleading to those thinking they are possibly getting full treatment of these films.1. This is both films compressed on to "1 DISC" not 2 as stated2. Do Not expect bonus features such as the commentary track, this is a bare boned "1 DISC" version of the films onlyOther than that i have watched them. On the back it shows a combined MPAA rating of "R". I am not sure how they achieved this because it barely has any violence and little gore, no nudity or even swearing. All i can figure is the body parts laying out for the corpse they were going to build was "taboo". You only really saw any effects after the kills... i mean you "see" chopping, but don't really see it, you just watch sorta "over-the-shoulder" style. I seriously believe REVENGE would have a PG - PG13, the 1st really barely got an R i am sure, so they did a "combined" rating on the box.What we actually have here are 2 movies that should have been made into 1 film. Though i thought the writing for REVENGE was a bit better, the majority of BLOOD CULT was fluff - lots of unnecessary talking and inner monologue - driving or just sitting. The 2 movies ARE 1 story, Revenge takes up right after the events of Blood Cult (though they couldn't get some of the same locations) and seriously finishes the story left hanging in Blood Cult. Revenge also has stronger writing and acting.Blood Cult had more gore, and lots of wasted time, Revenge had very little gore but wasted less. There are effects i.e. latex masks and slime, a fried chick and a foot in a trap. If these got an R rating... yeah right. Oh and suspense? Basically none. The plot does have a decent twist though.These movies should be watched together if anything to complete 1 story. Would i rate it higher than 2? Not really. The locations were great and the acting was meh... Revenges' acting was stronger - the effects were decent for what they did, but to say these movies have a high rewatch value especially with NO bonus materials is a lie.Only true collectors need apply here.

OH what fun. Two s#
DVD review: This movie comes with two lousy movies both in full screen with low level picture quality and decent audio.Movie review: OH what fun. Two s#!++y movies for the price of one. Both these movies are bottom of the barrel slasher that look like made for TV crappola. I found both movies boring, derivative and stupid. I recommend AIDS over this meaningless $#!+!In Conclusion: 2 stars for the DVD and 1 star to both Blood Cult and Revenge.
