Feast (2006)

Awesome!

It's been a while since I've seen a good horror flick. I just can't believe I've never heard of this movie before. July 12, 2008

Decent, Old-fashioned Horror Film

"Feast" is a B-action/horror movie and it certainly knows the rules of the genre it belongs to. Body counts here are larger than most films of that ilk and in fact the film gives us plenty of gores and deaths, plus occasional humors.

The film's story (which is very thin) is already familiar to most of us, especially fans of Robert Rodriguez films. Patrons are trapped in a bar located somewhere in a remote place in Texas, and they are attacked by some terrifying creatures. In "Feast" we don't know much about these creatures (actually we cannot see them clearly throughout the film) and perhaps we don't have to. The film is about unfortunate humans who deliver intentionally corny lines before they get killed, or in short, how they die, or survive.

The problem for me is, "Feast" suffers from its quick editing and jerky camera, which lessens the impact of each killing. Also, the film has more characters (and victims) than most of other horror films and all of them are introduced with profiles including their supposed "life expectancy." Some of the viewers would find them funny, but I found them a bit repetitious, as well as some of other jokes in the film.

I enjoyed watching the film and I think filmmakers including first-time director John Gulager did a decent job within the limited budget. It is fun, but with a tighter script, better camera and more original ideas, "Feast" could have been a more thrilling ride. April 21, 2008

A surprise hit

This is one of the very few movies that exceeded my expectation. I expected to be "OK". However, the movie was excellent, great characters with a perfect cast. I was at the edge of my seat, and at the same time, i had a few good laughs. The audio transfer was better then expected with True Dolby Digital option. The video transfer was decent, but far from perfect. Over all, a must have HD DVD. April 18, 2008

Third time the charm.

Not too bad. Finally Project Greenlight turns out a somewhat worthy product. The third time was the charm. April 17, 2008

Delivers what it advertises.

You aren't going to get a plot and really in-depth characters, but you'll get some blood and guts mixed in with a few one liners. This kind of reminded me of the new Rambo movie only with aliens and not vietnamese kidnappers. Actually Rambo was better, but this was good if you aren't expecting a deep movie. April 16, 2008
