Feast (2005)

In other words,this film is a surreal ride.

This is ultimately a movie about the very bad things that can happen when we don't address our unease, when we just try to brush it off, whether that's to fit in or to preserve our self-image.

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

Love the concept here - a fun flick about survival. Project Greenlight's biggest success.

Various people are spending a regular night at a low life bar. Hero (Eric Dane) comes in totting a shotgun warning of a monster. He is killed right away. His wife Heroine (Navi Rawat) tries to organize the people in a defense. Tuffy (Krista Allen) is Cody's mom. Jason Mewes gets his face ripped off. There are Bozo (Balthazar Getty), Coach (Henry Rollins), Beer Guy (Judah Friedlander), Hot Wheels (Josh Zuckerman), waitress Honey Pie (Jenny Wade), Drunk Girl (Chauntae Davis), and Harley Mom (Diane Ayala Goldner).This puts a bunch of standard characters in a standard horror situation. It's quite deliberate and somewhat effective. It has a few comedic scenes that kinda works. It's not a masterpiece but horror fans will get something out of this striped-down indie.

Those that even tried to fix your fingers to give this crap movie a ten rating you are why crappy horror keeps getting made. The fact that wes craven attached his name to this terrible movie is laughable. No plot, horrible actors and dialog, monsters screwing cats in the equally lame sequels and kids and babies being eaten and the gratuitous nipple scenes to keep you watching this crap movie. Fans that grew up on freddy, exorcist, jason, hellraiser, or halloween will understand why even fir a b movie this is absolutely terrible. If you can waste an hour and a half attempting to watch this sober be my guest otherwise do not watch or attempt to think this movie gets better.

You know that plan the cornered innocents always seem to come up with, after an hour of either relentless bickering or being picked off in horror movies? You know there's still about twenty minutes left, but you always find that THIS PLAN WILL WORK, no matter what, right?I do. I fall for it every…single…time. I think that's the fun of it. And, by the time that inevitable scene appears, I'm so overwhelmed with countless failures, blood, gore, craziness, anarchy, treachery and unreal conditions, that I guess I WANT more than anything that one in a million chance will work. Because, things have to even out, right? The good guys have to win in the end and we have to get back to normal!No spoilers, but Feast's premise is like countless other TRAPPED SURVIVORS movies.** - A group of assorted stereotypes find themselves hunted, disbelieving, alone, confused, argumentative, disconnected from any communication, outgunned and cornered in some kind of shelter, i.e. From Dusk Till Dawn or Night of the Living Dead.But, that's just the premise. While the movie centers around a desert middle-of-nowhere saloon and vulture creatures circle and attempt to get in for a, ah hem, feast, there's plenty of originality and fun to be had inside. (Fun, if you're into extreme gore, pain, suffering and never knowing who gets picked off next.)And speaking of freshness, one of the brightest spots of the creativity in Feast, was the comic-book introductions of the characters as they appeared on screen with spoilers of their fate. Or were they spoilers?I would have never even remembered this 2005 (limited in 2006 in the USA) horror "comedy" existed if not for co-hosting a podcast with a friend that recommended this injunction with the same director's (John Gulager) Piranha 3DD we were discussing. So, kudos to him since I found this movie fairly enjoyable and probably one of the most grossest and vicious TRAPPED SURVIVORS films.There's not much more to this movie except the aforementioned location and a group of diverse individuals attempting to survive when the universe's most brutal and sharp creatures attempt to get in. The entertainment is how they cope or their lack of managing unity.Early in the film, one of the baddies gets in and goes berserk beyond most horror films I've seen, it sets the scene for how much carnage and peril these victims are in store for. And for some of their sakes, being dead from an attack, or feeding, is far better than surviving.Feast is for die-hard TRAPPED SURVIVORS and horror fans. I honestly can't see this movie branching outside that group, but it's still one helluva ride.
