Blood Fest

• Comedy
• Horror

A relentlessly self-aware horror-comedy, *Blood Fest* lures unsuspecting genre devotees into a macabre, meta-textual trap. What begins as a loving tribute to classic slasher tropes at a meticulously crafted horror festival quickly descends into genuinely terrifying, and surprisingly brutal, reality as the event's enthusiastic host reveals a sinister game. The film distinguishes itself not through jump scares, but through its gleeful dismantling of horror conventions – embracing the absurdity of fandom and the performative nature of fear itself – while grounding the escalating carnage in the desperate survival of its increasingly panicked attendees. It's a darkly humorous exploration of obsession and the blurring lines between entertainment and genuine danger, culminating in a cathartic and delightfully gruesome spectacle.
