  A film with a higher budget than it deserves, a lot of big influences came together to make this film including the production team of Matt Damon and Ben Affleck, the Weinstein Company, and the film had a cameo from a decent actor. Much of this was small time horror, hokey humor that tried not to be clichéd and ended up parody in the process. Everyone is usually right in the middle on this, because though it is slightly tired, lazy, and repetitive, it's also smart at times. It takes chances with its out of this world monsters, not broaching on origins, sense, even making these desert animals less menacing by showing their wants, needs, and disgusting glorification of sex and violence. Mainly, it's a film about survival in a small, enclosed space. It's about outsmarting entities that can't be studied, being strong when your circumstances leave you weak, and being the greater predator when you're obviously prey. There are far too many characters, most dead or dying far too fast, picked off because they exist. Each has their own unique flavor to add to the film, but their entire histories and futures are shown in the space of three minutes, and its just another element of parody. It's less terrifying than it is gorey, chopping off limbs, eyes, spattering blood into every orifice and on every character. The effects aren't too high tech, but the way they're set up is ingenious. Most of the film makes itself up of gore and impatient banter between the respective victims. It's paced correctly, but nothing new presents itself by the end. The dialogue is plain, and the characters end up weak and unsubstantial. Overall it's a good film to watch for the effects and ideas, but otherwise it's horror fodder.

  John Gulager's Feast is one of the most kick ass horror monster flicks to come out in quite some time. First thing you have to realize with going into this film is the minimalistic story. Although the story is almost non-existent, it more than makes up for it with gross monster carnage. This film is mindless comedic horror at its best. The film is flawed, but will definitely entertain you if you're in the mood for something ridiculous. Feast has plenty of gore satisfy gore hounds, and though it has a simplistic story, this is a very engaging film that is never dull or boring. There are lots of good bits strewn across the film to make it memorable. This is the most original horror comedy that I've seen in quite some time. This film is simply put, crazy, off the wall and memorable. If you love low-budget monster flicks with plenty of gore, this film is for you. This is a must see for horror fans, and is a refreshing horror film in the genre, while big studios want to remake classic films. I personally think it's great to see something different in the genre. The film succeeds on many levels because of its simple, yet effective story. Also what really makes this film stand out is its unique sense of humor. This is a no nonsense film that delivers exactly what you'd expect from a monster film and more. Definitely a film that is excessive in every way, this film is loads of fun from start to finish. The gore is delivered in spade and the use of comedy is smartly done, the film is a must see for horror fans tired of the same old remakes

  Doesn't pretend to be original, far from it, this is your basic group of random survivors holed up and fighting off some nasty monsters with little weaponry. One by one people go down as the creatures rip them apart, no one knows where they are from or what they are, its a very simple premise but always effective. This isn't as good as I thought it would be as the creatures do look ferocious enough in the face but when seen from head to toe they do look rubbery and obviously a man in a suit. Of course you don't see them much as the camera work is fast n furious when the action kicks in and this is actually one problem with the film, the action cuts and moves very fast and its hard to follow and know who's been killed. There is a good sense of being uneasy as you watch the film though as you genuinely don't have a clear idea of who will survive from one minute to the next, there are afew 'Ellen Ripley' wannabes but not even they are guaranteed to make it hehe Plenty of gore and body parts and the always amusing sight of a bunch of people facing mortal danger yet still intend on beating each other up and acting aggressive to one another to help their precarious situation.

  The "humping" part was stupid and gross. Other than that, it's okay.

  Lots of modern horror films attempt to spoof the cliches of the genre while still being scary. Often though, the end result is mixed between good (Slither) and bad (Cabin Fever). Feast falls somewhere in the 'bad' territory. It certainly has plenty of humor, from the way it introduces each character to the monsters' procreation skills, but what it lacks is the horror element, which is instead replaced with simple gross-out gimmicks. Much like Cabin Fever or even Hostel to a degree (I thought the original Hostel was fairly clever), Feast mistakes maggots and slime for real horror. The plot is simple: a group of bar patrons are trapped in the bar by a group of monsters, and must figure out a way to either escape or kill the monsters. The monsters are actually pretty nonsensical, they fill the typical movie monster requirements in that they're super-fast, super powerful, and super sneaky, all while being 8 feet tall. They're also incredibly ridiculous looking, as sometimes they're simple rubber latex and others they look exactly like the monsters from "The Village", minus the red cloaks. I kept hoping for something original to pop out at me during the film, but inbetween the nonsense (at one point, one of the monsters vomits slime-covered maggots all over one of the characters- twice), we get scenes taken almost directly from other, better horror movies ("Night of The Living Dead" for example). The movie itself comes from a television show called "Project Greenlight" which I've never seen, but it's produced by Ben Affleck and Matt Damon, I think in an attempt to find the next "Good Will Hunting", or at least give young filmmakers the same opportunity they had when making that film. With Feast, they needn't have bothered.

  A bloody as hell and disgusting gore fest of fun and exhilerating excitement. Loads of outragious laughs, cheesey one-liners and crude and gory action sequences. It is absolute fun from start to finish and you cant help but love it. One of the best monster movies ever made. A very original and superb horror film. It shows all the cliches of past horror films and eliminates it with this nasty and crude bloodbath of greatness.

  I was so disappointed by this film. It was so hyped by all the people I usually trust to know good horror, but the actual film has very little going for it. The only things I liked about this film was the design of the monsters, Henry Rollins' character and the little gimmick they had when they introduced the characters. The gimmick wears thin fairly wuickly though, because you can really only introduce a character once, and it's not much to hold up a film. This movie is really pretty much the same as every other monster-seige movie out there. And there are plenty.

  Hero: Listen to me. A storm o'hell's coming down on this place any second. I don't know what they are, I don't know where they came from. All I do know is that these fuckers are fast, nasty, and hungry... and there's four of 'em. They got claws like Ginsu knives and more teeth than a chainsaw. They're comin'... right now. So we gotta lock this bar down. That means doors, windows, drains, and zippers, and we gotta do it now. You! Get a phone, call the cops, National Guard, townies, anybody who kicks ass, and get 'em out here. Any questions? Bartender: Yeah. Who the hell are you? Hero: I'm the guy that's gonna save your ass. [a monster immediately reaches through the window and kills him] A low budget, creature feature set in one location with characters so cliche they are described as such with title cards and not given names. Its short and sweet but doesn't maintain a clear enough tone to make it anything better. The story is simple, people are at a bar in the middle of nowhere and are suddenly attacked by monsters, forced to used the bar as a holdup while they think of a plan. The cast is made up of D-List actors and Henry Rollins, the budget mainly goes to the gore, which comes hard and heavy frequently, and the whole thing is an easy enough watch. What does help is the attitude the film has. It certainly tries very hard to defy many conventions, offering up surprises in terms of who's next to be killed. It also attempts to be very humorous about the whole thing. This is the main problem, the human is not taken far enough or blended well enough into the mix. It also doesn't help that very few of the actors are any good at this type of thing and a lot of the dialog and situations are ridiculous without being intended that way. Still, the movie does manage to be a satisfying enough gore fest that is quickly paced and over in a little over 80 minutes. Beer Guy: I think were gonna be okay, guys. Yeah, I think were gonna be alright. You know, this is just some leaky barrel, radiation, toxic dump waste, enviro-crap, freak-beast accident that crawled out of the sewer, man. That's all this is.

  Great movie in the vein of from dusk till dawn. It's gore gore and more gore with a great sense of humour. A must if you like your horror dumb and fun.

  Had a hell of a start, but went steadily downhill from there. Rumor has it there's a Feast 2 and 3 on the way. (I'll spare you the obvious puns.)

  <b><u>Directed by:</u> John Gulager.</b> <b><u>Starring:</u> Eric Dane, Navi Rawat, Krista Allen, Balthazar Getty, Diane Goldner.</b> If you just want a film that you can watch with a group of friends on a Saturday night and be thoroughly enjoyed by it, then this above average horror-comedy is for you. The story is simple, a group of people one night at a middle of nowhere bar when a 'hero' slams through the door warning everyone that somethings coming....and from there they have to work together and survive the night from these unknown creatures. It is formula, but it is extremely intentional and is done right, the humour is very much tongue-in-cheek and its a brilliant little throw-back to bad, low budget 80's horror films. The script is crafty, full of imagination and well written and aims for one thing and does it right, we have quite a funny little introduction to each character and we get a 'life expectency' written on the screen for each of them, which is crafty because we would think that when we just start to know these characters but things can change....and they do. The direction is quite stylish and shows what can be done on a very low budget. And of course the gore....its certainly there and its great....and not to mention some pretty damn good prosthetics. So I'd certainly recommend it to any horror fan just looking for some intentionally bad but crafty fun that is a great throw-back to the bad low budget horrors of the 80's, with a nice mix of comedy.

  For a low budget monster movie this ain't bad. Following all the classics such as Night of the Living Dead, The Birds, Dog Soldiers, From Dusk Til Dawn etc. our heroes are trapped in a very secluded area. Feast works primarily because it has some gruesome gore, and anyone can die at any time. No one is safe, not the hero, not the little child or the cripple etc. We are even treated to freeze frames and details of when we should expect each character to die. It's kick ass, and loses points for some poor and dim lighting where it is sometimes hard to see what's going on. Also it tries so hard to be unpredictable you can pretty much predict what is going to happen if you catch my drift. Great brainless fun with a committed cast.

  This is the first movie I had to turn off and not finish. The first 20 minutes were stupid and horrible. Do not watch this movie!

  It's cheesy and stupid, yes. Even the creature effects are ridiculously awful. It's enjoyable because it is so silly. Plus, it's got a great sense of humour about itself.

  I guess this was the last hurdle in the Project Greenlight track and field marathon. And it shows. The movie is horrible (not horrifying-- horrible.) The acting is atrocious and the directing is basically non-existent. Whoever wrote this script should never have been "greenlit" and the should have been shot in the head. Maybe that would've made for a scarier--or at least more entertaining--film.

• Jacob P

  
  Ok...well....this movie is weird. Not only the fact that they only give the characters nicknames, (Bartender, Hero, Biker Girl) but also because of the humor. They try to be funny. but it never is. Although, It did have a good story\plot with many great bloody scenes.

  4.5/10 "Feast" will no doubt please some die-hard horror fans, just as many horror-comedies such as "Cabin Fever" and other before it have. I appreciate good comedy because sometimes, it's good to laugh. But it's hard to laugh when people are getting their faces mauled off my monsters, their limbs hacked off by machetes, or fresh torn off by sharp claws. Sure, there is a way, in the sacred book of the campy and the absurd, to make blood and gore satiric and funny; but "Feast" is yet another movie that lacks the wit and humor that it intends to deliver. I don't mind the movie, and I wouldn't call it bad. There were moments where I was able to like it, although that said, they were just little moments. The rest of the movie, good moments aside, it just one big mindless fest of schizophrenia. I would have been okay with this, if the thing had the ability to be genuinely fun. I liked the opening shots of "Feast", which depict a man, on a small television-like screen, picking up a dead animal off the road in the middle-of-nowhere. There's also a car-crash that comes abruptly after this short-lived but entertaining sequence, and then we are given a lift (cinematically) to a bar, in which we are greeted by several unimportant but somehow prospering characters. The introductions, which each include a freeze-frame shot of the character, describing their back-grounds and predicting, perhaps, when and how they will die, are meant to be funny, but man, were they often dumb. Soon after meeting every damn person (one of which is Jason Mewes, for all you "Jay and Silent Bob" or "Clerks" fans out there), a bloodied hero figure comes storming in the bar, and warns everyone that evil monsters are about to attack the joint. And they do, along with their ugly little bastard monster offspring. The whole movie it just one big joke, and it's not really a funny one. Characters die, monsters die, and human beings get their eyes eaten away (even more) by maggots. Gross, to many, but funny to others. I guess that's the philosophy that the filmmakers were working with, and I'm sorry to say, it's not a really good one. But if you can laugh at the mere sight of a monster humping another monster, a monster humping a woman's face, or even a monster raping a deer head on a pub wall, then this might be the movie for you. I suppose I need to applaud the filmmaker, John Gulager, for creating something on a tiny budget without making it horrific to the point of complete non-enjoyment. Some people believe that filmmakers don't make "trash" because they are scared, although I disagree. Well, "Feast" is trash, but that's what it wants to be, and I'm not exactly calling it that in a particularly negative sense. It's not ugly. It's not nauseatingly violent (for the most part, at least). But it's not all that good either. It just doesn't work out that well, and while I certainly see some of what people have been raving about, there's plenty I must have missed. Horror-comedies don't need to surrender one side of the double-genre for another. "Feast" uses frantic and swift editing and shaky-cam cinematography to perhaps induce fear by not letting us get a good glimpse at its monsters (until the end, that is), but this movie couldn't have been all that scary to begin with. The monsters don't look all that bad in terms of make-up and costume effects, and I sort of admire the work going on there. But then when it comes to the comedy stuff; it's as I said. The thing is a hit-or-a-miss. You either love "Feast", or you hate "Feast". I have just as much fun picking as I did watching the film as an entirety.
