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.

Appetizing, no?

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.

Survivors plot their escape in FEAST.

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.
