What the hell is wrong with Dimension. They release that crapfest Pulse with a fair amount of marketing push. And than their only good film in sometime gets a two night limited release. what were they thinking. I mean Feast isn't great but it's damn good. And deserved more exposure and more showtimes from a studio that does nothing but release one meddlesome product after another. OK I've vented now on to this cult classic in waiting. Feast has a standard set up like From Dusk til dawn with some Evil Dead 2 thrown in. It's about a group of strangers trapped at bar. as the film begins it's a bit questionable flipping from one comical intro to the next, and they get less comical as they move along. Than the monsters attack chaos ensues and gorehounds will be ecstatic. this film is all blood, vomit and guts, oh my... Some of the gore in my opinion was a bit much and felt forced. the film took a while to start but after the demise of certain people some predictably others not. Some performances worked Balthazar Getty, Krista Allen, henry Rollins and others didn't Clu Gallagher, Navi Rawatt and Judah Friedlander. The direction is jumbled at first and at most points it's hard to see whats going on. But as the film moves along and has some character growth and plot development. suspense builds, the laughs are kept to minmum thankfully and it becomes an all out action horror fest with a surprisingly great last half. The creatures are believable but low budget. With a little more money and time this film could've been great. But there is still a really good film here. it's absolute fun. a splatter fest with the balls to pull it off. In the categories of films like Dusk til Dawn and Sin City Feast ultimately pulls it off full fold but thanx to dimension most people will never know that. And as far as the directing is concerned it was definalty promising but as he makes more films, and I hope he will. he needs to work on some pacing issues, holding back some of the creativity and just taking more control of the entire film and not just half of it.
