A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."

Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

Put together via "Project Greenlight" that Ben Affleck and Matt Damon helmed. Project Greenlight is an American documentary television series that strictly focused on first-time filmmakers being given the chance to direct a feature film. It was created by Alex Keledjian, developed by Eli Holzman and produced by Ben Affleck, Matt Damon, Sean Bailey, and Chris Moore through their production company LivePlanet,The selected screenplay was a horror script titled "Feast" written by Marcus Dunstan and Patrick Melton. The director was John Gulager. The film stars Balthazar Getty, Krista Allen, Jason Mewes, and Eric Dane and was produced by Dimension Films and Neo Art & Logic.There is some Tarantino style grip this film has with it's characters and development. A group of patrons from all walks of life in a run down bar are forced to barricade themselves in and fight off these creatures from unknown origin. The film is VERY simple in it's set, plot and dialogue. No CGI, no true cinematography, off the cuff humor and tons of swearing.The film could raise some viewership and eventually become a cult classic. To me a true movie viewer I though this was ok for the genre, good gore, but lacked true creativity in places. 4/10

Love the concept here - a fun flick about survival. Project Greenlight's biggest success.

When I watched Feast I wasn't expecting a Comedy-Horror. So when I began to crack up laughing in the first ten minutes I was impressed about how effective the comedy was. The laughs do taper off and become more or less sex and fart jokes, but for the most part it is plain fun. It's a good movie which makes fun at all the horror clichés, but you can't help but feel that it's been done before, however, Feast does have some no holds bar gross-out laughs in it. Decent and better than expected. It's no Cabin In The Woods for being clever, but its cool comedy is something to be admired at. If you are going to watch this, it would be one of those late night with friends movies. Good, nothing much to it and fun as hell if you like gore and blood.

You know that plan the cornered innocents always seem to come up with, after an hour of either relentless bickering or being picked off in horror movies? You know there's still about twenty minutes left, but you always find that THIS PLAN WILL WORK, no matter what, right?I do. I fall for it every…single…time. I think that's the fun of it. And, by the time that inevitable scene appears, I'm so overwhelmed with countless failures, blood, gore, craziness, anarchy, treachery and unreal conditions, that I guess I WANT more than anything that one in a million chance will work. Because, things have to even out, right? The good guys have to win in the end and we have to get back to normal!No spoilers, but Feast's premise is like countless other TRAPPED SURVIVORS movies.** - A group of assorted stereotypes find themselves hunted, disbelieving, alone, confused, argumentative, disconnected from any communication, outgunned and cornered in some kind of shelter, i.e. From Dusk Till Dawn or Night of the Living Dead.But, that's just the premise. While the movie centers around a desert middle-of-nowhere saloon and vulture creatures circle and attempt to get in for a, ah hem, feast, there's plenty of originality and fun to be had inside. (Fun, if you're into extreme gore, pain, suffering and never knowing who gets picked off next.)And speaking of freshness, one of the brightest spots of the creativity in Feast, was the comic-book introductions of the characters as they appeared on screen with spoilers of their fate. Or were they spoilers?I would have never even remembered this 2005 (limited in 2006 in the USA) horror "comedy" existed if not for co-hosting a podcast with a friend that recommended this injunction with the same director's (John Gulager) Piranha 3DD we were discussing. So, kudos to him since I found this movie fairly enjoyable and probably one of the most grossest and vicious TRAPPED SURVIVORS films.There's not much more to this movie except the aforementioned location and a group of diverse individuals attempting to survive when the universe's most brutal and sharp creatures attempt to get in. The entertainment is how they cope or their lack of managing unity.Early in the film, one of the baddies gets in and goes berserk beyond most horror films I've seen, it sets the scene for how much carnage and peril these victims are in store for. And for some of their sakes, being dead from an attack, or feeding, is far better than surviving.Feast is for die-hard TRAPPED SURVIVORS and horror fans. I honestly can't see this movie branching outside that group, but it's still one helluva ride.
