background
Blood Diner and Nachtakademie were the first films by PMS-Filmworks, a production company founded by Jackie Kong, Jimmy Maslon, Ellen Steloff and Lawrence Kasanoff. Nachtakademie became a slapstick comedy and should actually be the flagship of the label, while Blood Diner should only be included in the program of the investor Vestron. However, financial bottlenecks and skeptical producers ensured that the shooting of both films overlapped and Jackie Kong had to shoot at the same time. Blood Diner became the more successful film. Ultimately, however, PMS went bankrupt.
The film was heavily censored, particularly in the UK and Germany. The German version had to be shortened by about seven minutes for an FSK-18. It wasn't until 2004 that an uncut version, limited to 3,000 copies, was released on the Dragon Film Entertainment label . For February 2010 an uncut version was surprisingly announced after being re-examined from the age of 16. The film has since been downgraded to FSK-16 and is available as such on DVD.
Reviews
“With a biting, accurate joke, mocking American way of life and philosophy, horror film parody, which skillfully reconstructs motifs from trivial cinema. A wild satire for a relevant interested audience. "
