| Traditional Latin Mass: Feast of the Sacred Heart |
 |
Traditional Latin Mass filmed on the Feast of
the Sacred Heart in the small chapel of the
International Seminary of Saint Cure d'Ars,
Flavigny, France, in 1999. The seminary is
the Society of Saint Pius X's second European
seminary. Typically seminarians spend their
first year of spiritually there before
leaving for Ecône, Switzerland, to complete
their training.
The film presents the ceremonies of the Missa
Solemnis or Solemn High Mass with Gregorian
chant and polyphonic motets. Some local
customs take place during the Mass. For
example, birettas are not worn and the Domini
Non Sum Dignus is recited aloud by all
present. More astute listeners might also
notice the French pronunciation, which is
perhaps not the ideal.
This film has been available on the Internet
for quite some time encoded in a very low
quality format. I have encoded the video here
from an original source at the highest
quality possible given the size restrictions
at Youtube. Unfortunately this has resulted
in a slightly blurred picture and mono sound
rather than stereo. Apart from the addition
of captions, the film remains unchanged. Tags : Traditional Tridentine Catholic Latin Mass Solemn High SSPX Flavigny Seminary France Traditionalist Liturgy Lefebvre |

| Something Weird Blood Feast |
 |
Most people think America lost its innocence
when JFK was assassinated. Actually, it
happened four months earlier when Blood Feast
opened at a Peoria, Illinois, drive-in. With
its bright colors, bubbly babes, and minimal
production values, Blood Feast resembled the
average nudie flick. However, the pretty
young beauties in Blood Feast didn't get
naked. They got dismembered. Yes, folks, the
infamous, notorious, ultra over-the-top Blood
Feast is the world's first "gore" film. Less
a horror movie than extreme exploitation, it
may even be argued that Blood Feast is the
first horror roadshow since 1934's Maniac.
Shot in five days in Miami for under $25,000,
Blood Feast's simple-minded script and wildly
overwrought Amateur Night theatrics also
helped transform it into the world's first
gore comedy. Blood Feast is, in fact,
simultaneously disgusting and hilarious. It's
as if the local loony bin had made a home
movie and got a little carried away with the
killings... - Something Weird Tags : Something Weird Herschell Gordon Lewis gore Drive-In exploitation grindhouse movie trailer |

"Blood Feast was to horror cinema what the
Sex Pistols were to Rock'n'Roll" See No Evil
Just when you thought you had managed to
discover and watch the very worst of the
worst along comes a movie to show you how
wrong you actually were. Having spent a
lifetime as a purveyor of z-grade cinema I
have recently found that there is a treasure
of utterly vile, festering shite to be
discovered within the realms of Pushto cinema
here in the heartland. But even having
watched some of the dregs from that wonderful
genre of world cinema it came as a true shock
to the system to when I finally managed to
view something as appalling as Hershell
Gordon Lewis's legendary Blood Feast.
Firstly, I am disgusted at myself for never
ever actually having watched a film by H.G.
Lewis, but as they say, better late than
never. The film is stunningly abysmal from
beginning to end with acting that has to be
seen to be believed and a plotline that
perfectly illustrates H.G. Lewis's brand of
alternative/deranged genius. The film was
released in 1963 and went on to score
considerable success on the underground and
drive-in circuit where it built a loyal
following due to its sheer awfulness and its
audacity to be so boldly atrocious in every
way. Lewis himself claims that the film came
about when a friend and he decided to use the
surplus theatrical blood they had left with
them after an earlier job. Lewis decided to
write a movie built around the fact that they
had two bottles of theatrical blood in their
possession...so that's how the idea of Blood
Feast began!
The film itself doesn't waste any time
getting down to business and we have a blonde
beauty hacked to pieces in her bathtub within
the very first minute. First the beauty's eye
is gouged with a spike and the audience
treated to full view of the jiggling bits of
flesh that the grey haired killer prizes out
from the socket - tasteful indeed. Then the
murderer proceeds to hack off her limbs one
by one and take off with them to an
undisclosed hideout. Moments later a second
woman is followed back to her apartment and
attacked by the maniac who proceeds to slash
open her skull and remove the contents for
his ghastly blood rites. A beauty on the
beach is similarly sliced to shreds and in
the real screamer of a scene a Scandinavian
blonde is ravaged and her tongue is ripped
out from her mouth leaving a gaping wound
with blood and much oozing from it in the
most grotesque manner. The police department
is fumbling around for clues but with each
day that the monstrous killer is not
apprehended a new gruesome murder is
discovered. One of the attacked woman lives
just long enough to tell the police what
strange words the killer was mouthing as he
attacked her.......some foreign Mumbo Jumbo.
Blood Feast was his first foray into pure
gore and due to its notoriety and fame Lewis
earned the title as the "Godfather of Gore"
and indeed the man who almost "invented"
screen gore. He claimed to be very proud when
he noticed teenagers at drive-in's opening
their car doors to puke having watched his
gut wrenching gore on screen! Blood Feast
entirely lives up to its lofty reputation as
a simply astoundingly appalling piece of
cinema and the gore is so spectacularly and
joyously in evidence that is still manages to
shock even to this day. In fact even in 2001
there are various hackings and slashings in
the film that the British Censor has found
too disgusting for public viewing and several
cuts have been made in the British DVD
release of the film. What more can one say -
Hats off to H.G. Lewis for being the pioneer
of gore films and also for continuing to
carry the torch that such schlockmeisters as
the great William Castle lit with his unique
brand of showmanship and his unique tactics
to try to snag his viewers by such wonderful
gimmicks like providing the audience with
barf bags upon entering the cinema...a tactic
that John Waters later employed for his own
wondrous epics.
If you have a taste for the bizarre, the
gruesome and the stunningly inept, you will
not be disappointed by this epic piece of
celluloid. Tags : horror gore lewis |
