Summary

RATING: R for pervasive strong creature violence and gore, language, some sexuality and drug content

Starring Navi Rawat, Krista Allen, Balthazar Getty, Henry Rollins, Judah Friedlander, Josh Zuckerman, Jason Mewes, and Jenny Wade

From executive producers Wes Craven, Ben Affleck, Matt Damon and Chris Moore comes a new terrifying tale, Feast, the winning film from the hit series "Project Greenlight."

Film Threat Pete Vonder Haar

This is a superior horror film. It hits hard and fast, letting up only to inject some black humor and amp up the tension again before coming back for more. Feast is nasty, brutish, and short, just like Hobbes said all horror flicks should be.

Entertainment Weekly Scott Brown

Feast isn't quite demented enough to reach Raimi-an heights, but Gulager uses parts of the monster-movie buffalo even the buffalo didn't know existed.

Premiere Kelly Borgeson

Winds up being rather fun. It's not great, but it's certainly not the worst monster movie that I've sat through -- that might be 2003's "Darkness Falls."

New York Post Kyle Smith

The highlight is a meta touch: A funny on-screen résumé is posted each time we meet a new character.

LA Weekly Chuck Wilson

Feast isn't the least bit artful, but it is gleefully gruesome, which may be all one can ask of a no-budget monster movie.

Chicago Tribune Michael Esposito

Follows a common horror flick recipe (people under siege from hungry monsters--so much for Greenlight's search for originality), adding a dash of humor to keep things from becoming too much of a checklist.

The Hollywood Reporter Richard James Havis

Contains no shocks. But it works as a funny and slicker-than-expected parody of the genre.

Variety Dennis Harvey

Forgettable fun for the undiscriminating.

Baltimore Sun Michael Esposito

Fans of horror-comedy probably will enjoy this movie, even though chuckles outnumber scares.

The Onion (A.V. Club) Scott Tobias

Gulager shows that he truly is PGL's most gifted alumnus.

Los Angeles Times John Anderson

A sad farewell to the promising Project Greenlight concept, this Feast leaves viewers with nothing satisfying to tuck into.

Chicago Reader J.R. Jones

It's gooey fun for the first reel or two despite an abundance of close-ups that render the frantic action nearly unreadable.

TV Guide Maitland McDonagh

John Gulager's directing debut is horror at its most reductive and least resonant.

Washington Post Dan Zak

What's the difference between Feast and, say, "Alien" or "The Texas Chain Saw Massacre," all of which share the same plot? Patience. Feast lacks it.

Kind of a bore.

ReelViews James Berardinelli

Zero-star movies are a rare and terrifying breed - films that warrant recommendation only as an alternative to physical distress.

Anuj P. gave it a7:
Not a horror movie, more of a thriller. Very predictable story. acts of monster not highlighted properly, and monster not up to the mark Anyways worth watching once.

Psycho T. gave it an8:
What a fantastic gore fest! Can't wait for 2 and 3!

Riren gave it a7:
Feast is a cynically funny, self-aware horror film made for horror fans. From the opening scene on it plays on horror stereotypes and cliches for the effects of humor and unpredictability in the plot - and to mixed results with both ends. Because of its approach it achieves a kind of charm that excuses most of its shortcomings.

Chris M. gave it a5:
I would have given a higher mark,to this movie but the creature's orgins were never explained. Also they are not seen very clearly. I did think the monsters making out was pretty original! Points for that.

shawn p. gave it an8:
This is one of my favorite horror flicks of 2006(evan though its the same movie as Tales From the Crypt Demon Night) I laughed a lot and did not know who would survive til the end. Defintly crushes most the mainstream horror crap out there. Last good horror flick before this; Devils Rejects.

Eli C. gave it an8:
A well produced gore film. If you like this sort of thing (and I don't) you will see a quality production here. '8' for quality. '3' for the rest of us.

Jeff C gave it a6:
As far as recent horror flicks go, this is one of the more entertaining. It is by no means a masterpiece, but it doesn't suck either. I think Gulager's camera work was inspiring, and his direction makes this film a success despite a dogged genre.
