Watch Feed the Gods For Free

Plenty to Like, Plenty to Dislike

Good movie but grossly overrated

If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

After the death of their foster-mother two brothers go back to the town where they were born only to find the place holds a deadly secret.Thankfully Feed the Gods is not a found footage, hand-held camera movie. It is comparable to The Wicker Man, borrowing elements in terms of story. Its laced with horror and off beat humour. However, writer/director Braden Croft has a lot on his hands and it never quiet merges the two tone elements like Cabin in the Woods, nor is it wacky enough to to be as entertaining as Tucker and Dale Versus Evil. Croft's writing works best when the middle of nowhere town's conspiracy aspects and vigils (reminiscent of Hot Fuzz) are centre stage rather than the shoehorned one liners. The unnecessary moments of POV camera stuff plonked in aside Shawn Roberts is memorable as Will, the loser geeky older brother and Erica Carroll gives a great performance.Croft's direction is great, thankfully it is for the majority traditionally shot and not another shaky cam film and he creates atmosphere especially during the opening and introduction to the rural townsfolk but it never fully reaches its full potential even with the well designed beast showing up in the latter half. It possibly would have worked as a welcomed all out serious horror or a full on comedy. Yes the main plot reveal is predictable from the outset given away by the films own title but thanks to the Bigfoot effects and likable lead its certainly worth checking out rather than writing it off.

The movie starts with a woman trying to leave somewhere and being told by an armed man she need 3 tickets , 1 for herself and 2 for her small children. She only has two and an older lady says she will take them. Where are they and why the need the tickets is the mystery that is at the heart of the movie.Flash forward and the children are now men around 30 at their adopted Gran mothers wake.They are given a box containing clues to their parents identity and resolve to find out who they are. The younger brothers girlfriend accompanies them. When they get there they find out it is big foot territory and the older brother then starts a bigfoot search.As a horror movie it has a very slow start and only got interesting in the last 20 minutes of the 80 run time. The gore effects are stuff you could do at home with blood bags. The bigfoot has so little screen time it is almost an afterthought. The man in a suit has less than 20 seconds screen time and you only see extreme close ups. There is no nudity and a few f-bombs. Its watchable but I wouldn't say actively seek this out.

The worst thing I don't like about movies like this is the people don't do things that they do in real life. The entire second half of he movie I was yelling at the screen for them to stop doing stupid things. People are dying because they don't think with their brains. Nobody in their right mind would do the things that get themselves killed in these movies. For once, I would like someone to write a movie script where people do smart things and avoid stupid things that get them killed. I gave this movie 3 out of 10 for stupidity. The actors were believable in their development of the characters. The storyline was good. The scenery and film location was excellent. (my wife said my blood pressure was going thru the roof if I didn't stop yelling at the screen)

The foster mother of brothers Will and Kris dies. Inside a box of belongings she left behind for Kris is a video labeled "Casablanca." There's no "Here's lookin' at you kid," movie on it though. Instead, it's a home movie of sorts. While Will is watching it, he notices a man and a woman in the video are the same as the people in a picture that was also in the box. The people turn out to be Will's and Kris' parents that the boys never knew. As anyone would do who never knew their parents, they decide to waste money and time going in search for these perfect strangers. The boys set out on a road trip to a town called Tendale in search of their parents, and Brit - Kris' girlfriend - goes along for the ride. Along the way, they stop at a gas station, and Will picks up a book about Big Foot. I guess you can see where this is going.The group stops at a bed & breakfast lodge where they meet a couple who says they're there in search of Big Foot. Will finds out that there's a legend stating many in the town's past were taken by "a Wildman." They go on a trek through the forest, and the review stops here. I don't wanna give away any spoilers.I gave this a 4-star rating. It certainly wasn't great, and as far as Big Foot movies go, I'd have to say this is very inferior to The Lost Coast Tapes. However, it wasn't awful or unwatchable. I wouldn't want to see it again, but for what it was, it was good enough.
