Movie Review by Chris

In a remote bar, costumers are advised by a newcomer to seal the place since hunger monsters will attack them in a couple of minutes. The man is immediately devoured and the clients organize a strategy to defend the place under siege of deadly creatures.
Feast is surprisingly John Gulagar's first film, which shows signs that he has a future in the horror movie world. With not one, but two sequels being released this year, it certainly shows that Feast had surprised many and succeeded on many different levels. Feast is probably one of the more fast paced and heart racing horror movies ever made and on a gore factor it rates very high, but that is also tossed together with the zany characters and the copious amounts of dark humor which run through the script of this very basic film.
Feast features some older and more younger up and rising actors in the film world. Balthazar Getty stars as Bozo, a man who just ends up showing at the bar to play his friend in a game of pool for high amounts of money. Though we dont see to much of him until we get closer to the end, his character is pretty much summed up as an a**hole who assumes the worst about people. He begins going on an outrage when the situations get out of hand and he interrogates a few people and we see the darker and meaner side of Bozo. Henry Rollins has a smaller part but he plays as Coach, a man who seems determined to cheat on his wife no matter how hard he tries. He tries to leave with a woman until she discovers his wedding ring and such. Henry Rollins is funny and is very quiet through most of the movie.
Navi Rawat plays as Heroine, one of the women who survived the car crash along with her now dead husband. Like her name, she begins saving everyone and becomes the main heroine when the film finishes off. She has the right toughness for the character and the lines she speaks fit her just right. Judah Friedlander plays a very gross and funny role as Beer Guy, the guy who ends up being puked on by a monster and melting. As the melting becomes to happen on him he says some very funny lines and he handles the performance perfectly.
The film features a lot of dark humor, some of it sexual and some of it just characters busting on other characters. The monsters are almost unexplainable because we barely ever get a strong glimpse at them, we do know that they have sex doggystyle and can have a baby ten seconds after intercourse. These things are violent and vicious and are actually considered aliens, but I dont know what they are truthfully.
When the action gets going and the blood starts flowing, John gets the camera moving. The film is pretty smooth up until this point, then it starts shaking like a mad man. Though we barely see whats going on, there are amazing amounts of gore splattered and sprayed everywhere whenever it can be. We get torn off heads, hands through stomachs, a ripped out eye, a sliced off leg, a man with his face ripped off and plenty of more little creative gags throughout. The blood just kind of sprays around and gets everything soaked in a red, sticky liquid.
Feast is fast paced and awesomely gruesome, my kind of movie.
