“Directed by Christopher Lewis, low-budget horror Revenge is the sequel to shot-on-video movie Blood Cult (1985), a film that I havenu0026#39;t seen, and which I now have no real desire to see.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003ePatrick Wayne, son of John, slums it as Michael Hogan, who returns to his home-town to investigate the death of his brother. Teaming up with widow Gracie Moore (Bennie Lee McGowan), he uncovers the existence of a murderous cult (led by ageing horror icon John Carradine) who worship the dog-god Caninus, and who are collecting body parts of their victims for use in a ritual that will resurrect their deity.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eProtracted scenes of deathly dull dialogue make up the bulk of this 100-minute crap-fest, and remaining conscious throughout proves a challenge. Lewis tries to inject some excitement into proceedings with a mysterious motorcyclist intimidating Gracie by racing his bike and popping wheelies outside her farmhouse, but these scenes are poorly handled and go on for far too long. There are also a few ineptly orchestrated deaths designed to keep the viewer from nodding off: a farmer gets a hatchet in his forehead, a girl steps in a bear trap and has her leg cut off, a woman is burnt to death by supernatural means, and a girl in a jacuzzi is repeatedly stabbed and then decapitated. Unfortunately, the kills arenu0026#39;t that graphic, and what gore there is is cheap and unconvincing.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eKudos to anyone who makes it to the WTF? ending without having caught a few zu0026#39;s along the way.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003e2.5/10, generously rounded up to 3 for IMDb.”
