While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.
One of the more extreme and wild horror-comedies of the past twenty years, "Feast" is a sight to behold for fans of horror and extreme cinema. It's filled to burst with virtually everything fans crave... sex, drugs and blood by the bucket full. But what sets it apart is also its frantic and frenetic energy, a great sense of self-awareness and its charming and rampant use of humor and subversion, as it bends and breaks every rule and cliché you've come to expect from the genre. It's absolutely phenomenal entertainment, and as its cult audience will attest to, it's essentially horror-comedy nirvana.The product of the third season of the reality series "Project Greenlight", "Feast" is a wild tribute to creature features courtesy the screen writing duo of Patrick Melton and Marcus Dunstan, and director John Gulager. Melton and Dunstan have become minor icons in the horror community over the past ten years. Their success with this film lead them to contribute to the wickedly popular "Saw" franchise (writing four of the films) and to work on other well- known releases like "The Collector." And it is very interesting to see their wicked and unrestrained roots in this film. Their sharp sense of pacing and comedy are a bit factor in its success. It's top-notch stuff for the tonality they are trying to accomplish with its layers of subversion and double-crossing expectations.We follow a group of various characters from different walks of life who are lounging around a bar, drinking one night. Suddenly, the door is kicked in and an armed man bursts inside, warning them of an approaching threat and showing them the disembodied head of a freakish monster he claims to have slain. Just as suddenly, he is decapitated by one of those same mysterious beasts, leaving the bar- patrons (and his girlfriend who shows up later) in absolute shock and panic. And thus, the stage is set for an action-packed freakshow of scares and laughs as this motley crew must try and survive the night while under siege from these mysterious creatures.With a cast featuring everyone from the likes of veteran actor Clu Gulager (father of director John) to comedy icons like Judah Friedlander and Jason Mewes to actor/comedian Henry Rollins, the performances are widely varied and give us plenty of fun and sharp characters to root for (or against) during the runtime. It has such a wealth of personalities to follow, and it wisely gives everyone just enough time to be properly established. Especially when each character is introduced with amusing text-based intros that include their nickname and even their "life expectancy." It's a fun gimmick that lends a bit of flavor to the proceedings.Director John Gulager has a very untamed visual style in his work. He relishes in fast-paced cutting, broad establishment and gritty, hand-held camera-work. It lends itself quite well to the story. It's a visceral experience through and through, and the sort-of unrestrained aesthetic he injects helps the story pick up the pace and never let up throughout. And while it can occasionally be confusing with his use of close-ups and shaky cinematography, I actually thought this was one of the few films where it really worked to its advantage. We're following characters who don't have the slightest of clues as to what's happening... and often, the direction lends to us feeling that fear and paranoia because we never quite see everything perfectly. It also really helps the dark humor hit home splendidly as it comes so unexpected.While I could nit-pick some of the shakier performances, leaps in logic and wonky establishment of the rules, the fact of the matter remains: "Feast" fundamentally not only accomplishes what it sets out to... it exceeds and excels. It quickly builds the pacing. It piles on the laughs and scares at a mile-a-minute. It supplies us with an easily identifiable group of characters you want to root for. And it delivers the good ten-fold. It's one of the most original and refreshing horror-comedies I've seen in quite some time, and to me, it's up there with the likes of "Evil Dead II" and "Cabin in the Woods" as one of the best of the best.I give it a very strong 9 out of 10. If you like horror... If you like comedy... If you like goo and gore... This is absolutely a must-see.
When I watched Feast I wasn't expecting a Comedy-Horror. So when I began to crack up laughing in the first ten minutes I was impressed about how effective the comedy was. The laughs do taper off and become more or less sex and fart jokes, but for the most part it is plain fun. It's a good movie which makes fun at all the horror clichés, but you can't help but feel that it's been done before, however, Feast does have some no holds bar gross-out laughs in it. Decent and better than expected. It's no Cabin In The Woods for being clever, but its cool comedy is something to be admired at. If you are going to watch this, it would be one of those late night with friends movies. Good, nothing much to it and fun as hell if you like gore and blood.
This was another re-watch and it my second re-watch of this movie as well. This movie didn't take long to start at all, I liked how introducer everyone one by one at the start of the movie. So you know who they are before the actions start, which dose not take to long at all. The actions starts , it never really stops, there were some very gory and some really gross out scenes, that I really enjoyed in this movie. There were a lot of dark humour however I think it should have been more funner then it was some scene of this felt to dark at times. The creatures was really well made, it looked funny and scary enough to make jump when you seen it. Also I did not like in some action scenes were the caraman was moving far too fast in some scenes, I could not make out what was going on.Acting was great from the whole cast.I am going to give this movie a 7 out of 10
If there's one film from the 2000s that's guaranteed to tickle your funny bone as much as it tests your gag reflex, it's "Feast." Produced under the Project Greenlight umbrella, the debut effort from director John Gulager became a cult classic for horror fans almost immediately upon impact. With its tongue planted firmly in cheek, the film mixes ample amounts of gore with equal parts humor with purely entertaining results.Almost like "Tremors" meets "From Dusk 'Till Dawn" (and maybe a little bit of "Roadhouse") a group of rag-tag survivors find themselves trapped in a dive bar while bizarre creatures with an insatiable appetite for human blood lurk outside. With hardly any likable or moral characters among the bunch, it's anyone's guess as to who will survive (albeit with a killer hangover) and who will be turned into pub food for the unwelcome patrons. Will Henry Rollins lead the crew to victory in his pink sweatpants? Or will Jason Mewes -- sans Silent Bob -- turn out to be the unlikely hero? One thing is for certain, there are a lot of characters and plenty of potential for unfortunate circumstances.While the film is admittedly rather low-brow, it gets by with a lot of charm thanks to its script by late-"Saw" series scribes Marcus Dunstan and Patrick Melton. There are a lot of characters to sift through in the film's brief 80 minute run-time, and not only are most of them set up and defined rather well early on, but the pace never lets up for one minute, resulting in a powder-keg of horrifying action. Whether it's the over-the-top visuals or the constant feeding frenzy of action, Gulager keeps things fun and fresh, ensuring that you'll never want to look away for fear of missing something truly grim and/or gross.With a plethora of visual gags that will make you, for lack of a better term, gag and a relentless sense of humor, "Feast" more than lives up to its name for lovers of b-horror. While those who revel in such madness will likely binge on all the film has to offer, those with a weak stomach and an even weaker sense of humor would be advised to purge themselves of this film immediately.
