Feeders (1996)

This Movie Can Only Be Described With One Word.

Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

This revolutionary creation from the Polonia brothers defines budget- indie movies. Sure, the aliens are condoms with papier-mache, and yes their hands are radio antennas, and maybe some of the acting could be improved - but it's a really enjoyable film. The acting quality makes it comical, but it's also quite suspenseful. Also, the special effects, (courtesy of paint), to show the wounds are something else. On a positive note - the CGI isn't half bad - considering it was done in the 90's by 2 people with a low budget...It's definitely worth the watch as it isn't really as bad as people make it out to be.

As my friends have recommended me to watch this movie, because I'm a bad movie buff-- I was told I pretty much had to watch it; for this among titles like "Manos: The Hands of Fate", "Troll 2", "Plan 9...", and "Nukie" which are considered to be what are known as the worst movies ever made. Honestly, I can't say it is one of the worst because it was made to be intentionally bad; setting out to make the worst movie on purpose has been done many times, and so this is nothing new. But when the comedic value from all the crappiness runs thin, there aren't any comic relief characters or an interesting plot to keep you interested. After 50 minuets I fell asleep watching this (yes I was watching the display on my DVD player), and woke up towards the end. Sadly, after reading about what happened in that time-space I fell asleep I don't really care about what I missed.Honestly don't feel bad for not seeing this movie, you could probably make it yourself-- anyone could.

Words cannot describe this film; until 'Feeders' I thought I could handle anything, you name it. I love horrible, campy flicks but this one really just blew me away. Shot on a budget of 50 bucks (I watched the commentary), the film was literally made by 3 guys. The aliens were made out of stockings sprayed with latex, and the entire movie was shot on videotape. The two main actors were the directors, cameramen and pretty much everything else. They actually had to add fake names to the end credits to make it seem more legit, but really, the movies is just horrible. From a cinematic standpoint, the movie just blows, but if you love cheap sci-fi that you can just have a good laugh with, this is really kind of an entertaining film.

Try and imagine all of the positive things one could possibly associate with a movie. Exciting plot, suspense, humor, good acting, cool looking special effects, etc. Its a very rare thing to find a movie that unintentionally contains absolutely NONE of these things. Feeders (and its sequel) are such movies. I love watching bad movies. I usually find that the really bad special effects and the inept acting found in a lot of movies are hilarious. Although Feeders certainly contained horrible special effects and incompetent acting, there was nothing funny about this film. After what seemed like five hours the movie finally came to an end. I wasn't angry that the movie sucked. I wasn't sad, or disgusted, or anything else. I wasn't really feeling any emotion at all. It was as if my soul had been killed. And for the rest of that day all of the happiness and color and joy in the world was dead to me.Don't watch this film just to see how bad it is for yourselves. I did and I regret it.
