What is Blood Diner about?

Blood Diner is a 1987 American comedy horror film directed by Jackie Kong about two brothers tasked by their uncle’s brain-in-a-jar to resurrect an ancient goddess through ritualistic cannibalism.

Programmer's Pick

Blood Diner isn’t just a splatterfest—it’s a wild buffet of gore, laughs, and brain-in-a-jar guidance. Jackie Kong’s cult favorite gleefully skewers horror tropes, with aerobics, wrestling, and vegetarian cannibalism on the menu. Come hungry, but maybe skip the soup.

Overview

Blood Diner follows the deranged exploits of Michael and George Tutman, brothers brainwashed by their serial killer uncle Anwar Namtut—who now exists as a talking brain in a jar. Entrusted with completing his grisly mission, the brothers must resurrect the ancient Lumerian goddess Sheetar by collecting body parts from 'immoral' women. Their cannibalistic quest unfolds under the guise of running a wildly popular vegetarian restaurant, where unsuspecting patrons become part of their grand sacrificial plan. With slapstick and surreal humor, the film mixes gore, parody, and cult horror sensibilities, creating a bizarre world where ritual, insanity, and the supernatural collide.
