I gave it a 7.5 out of 10
... View Morea film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.
... View MoreClose shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.
... View MoreA terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
... View MoreFilm set in an old asylum where a low budget horror movie is being filmed. People get killed in gruesome fashion, this movie is pretty gory, but that's it. You could write the plot on the back of a postage stamp. Acting is reasonable, effects are not too bad. I bought this from my local Poundland store so can't really grumble, but I won't be watching it again
... View MoreVery shocked at the bad rating this film has on here. Dark Feed I would argue, is a little hidden gem in a long list of generic slasher films. Compared to many, it has a lot more originality and suspense.I've watched so many of these types of films and many are forgettable, All the boys love Mandy Lane being a great example of this. By this I mean in that you've seen it all before, teens go somewhere get killed, blah, blah. This film though, has something about it and where it falls short of classic status, it makes up for in uniqueness.Dark Feed is a very darkly lit film and effects with torches and clever lighting, work so well in upping the scare factor. The environment, the abandoned psychiatric ward, is the stand out feature and is extremely creepy and unnerving. It therefore becomes almost like a prison and a tomb creating a kind of claustrophobia as the film develops.It scores higher on the eerie, suspense scale than on the kill scene one and this is where it has probably been marked down, by slasher film fans. I also have to say, I don't get all the negative bitching about the acting. It's not noticeabley atrocious compared to a lot of other films in the genre and so this is an unfair criticism.At the very least, I'd definitely recommend checking this film out. It gets a well deserved 7 out of 10, a cut above the average slasher film. Certainly remember the Rasmussen brothers, as these guys have some talent.

Yes, I did, and that's what this quickie is all about: a few unfulfilled promises and tons of unrelenting boredom. The cast mostly sleepwalks through their paces, the direction is perfunctory at best, and as is always the case in misfires like this one, the script is leaden and uninspired. Who rationally puts up the money for pap like this, and why? Completely dispensable and as good an illustration of Sturgeon's Revelation as any. Do yourself a favor and avoid.
... View More"Did you see that!?" A film crew shooting a low budget horror movie moves into a abandoned psychiatric hospital. The hospital seems to take on a life of it's own the longer the crew stays. Little be little the cast and crew begin to notice strange things happening. I will admit that I had pretty low expectations for this even though I did like The Ward. I also realize the movie is about a low budget film crew but just because that's the plot doesn't mean they only have to hire bad actors. Not only is the fake movie low budget and bad acting, the actual movie is low budget and bad acting. It's hard to knock the movie based on budget but there comes a point where you have to realize that acting does matter, even in really low budget throw away movies like this. The rest of the movie was pretty much cookie cutter and not that scary to me. If you are a hardcore horror fan you may like this, I did not. Overall, the bad acting was too distracting for me to fully get into the movie. I say D+.
