John Gulager’s Feast is a juggling act of non-film
school antics and genuinely evocative creepiness; it
is full-on gore slapstick, more Tex Avery than Dario
Argento. For the most part, Feast places its heroes
fairly goofy to Gulager’s delirious camerawork, with
no prankish stone left unturned—winking setups,
disorientating tricks, forced perspectives, and no
shortage on blood. The batch of victims includes Navi
Rawat, Jason Mewes, Balthazar Getty, Henry Rollins,
and horror legend Clu Gulager.

In Feast, a group of strangers gather in a bar where
they're attacked and systematically killed by
monsters. The film was a product of "Project
Greenlight", the program created by Matt Damon, Ben
Affleck and Chris Moore to showcase new talent. If
you watched the show you know all about the troubled
production, Gulager almost being fired from the set,
the casting issues etc….but for the time frame and
budget they had to work with. Feast actually turned
out pretty great, but does suffer from major plot
holes and confusing plot twists. However, the F/X by
veteran Gary J. Tunnicliffe are brilliant and will
leave gorehounds fully satisfied.
In the end, Feast is a fun flick with great gore,
laughable dialogue, and fun performances. The
direction is fairly slick and the writing is actually
really good, considering they had to do something like
22 re-writes before all was said and done.

People lose limbs, faces are eaten, legs are blown
off, heads are consumed, maggots reign, and gallons of
blood pour, but Feast holds together as the giddiest
treatment of viscera this side of Peter Jackson's Dead
Alive.
