Still fun and gory, but just not quite as slick as it used to be. The first time I watched Feast it caught me by surprise. I wasn't expecting much, and suddenly there was this over-the-top graphic horror flick that whizzed by in no time. Twenty years later the joy is still there, but the cheap finish makes it a bit tougher to appreciate. A few random people in a small town bar are heading toward their worst nightmare. Monsters are on the prowl and they're following a couple that's about to barge into the bar. When the man is torn to shreds just after his arrival, panic strikes, and the people in the bar board the place up, hoping that will keep the monsters at bay. The effects are pretty graphic and the camera work is energetic, but it's not quite enough to forgive the film's lesser points. The character introductions are neat but the presentation is cheap, some of the actors are subpar and whenever blood isn't gushing down the camera, the quality of the film takes a nosedive. I had a good time revisiting this one, but it's not a personal favorite anymore.Read all
Cheap, lifeless sequel that fails to add anything to the series. Then again, the only reason Dimension keeps cranking them out is to keep the rights to the franchise, so why put effort in the actual film. I wasn't a big fan of the series to begin with, but this is jus plain awful.
