Whenever I have time to share movie talk with folks, I want to talk about the things I love. Because, for me, it’s just too darn easy to fall down a rabbit hole of negativity. When I stumble across something that thrills me, I want to share it. Even still, sometimes I’m a bit abashed when it comes to how enthusiastic I tend to be about things. This is especially true when I find a great new-to-me trash-cinema film. Over Easter Weekend, I got stuck on a “Blood” film kick. Don’t judge me. I like topical themes.

“Blood Diner” has accumulated a small fan base since it was first released. After watching the film for the first time myself, I cannot say I am part of that fan base. This film was not what I thought it would be and was sillier than I thought it would be. And this is coming from a guy who likes most comedy horror films!

The film is about two cannibal brothers Michael and George Tutman,...
