Blog review:What to say about this horror movie but I longed for the previous Project Greenlight films then this movie. It's interesting to see a movie made from the beginning and how Project Greenlight was to find the most talented people from script to Screen. Feast is supposed to be a gritty horror film that takes place on a desert road in a lonely bar full of interesting characters. That night all hell breaks loose when a "creature" attacks the bar and the patrons have to fend for their lives. First off one of the major red flags of this film was that it was supposed to be released like 3 times before it got a DVD and Halloween release. So that's suspect to begin with. Did the heads of production not feel this movie was worth there money to place in theatres? I guess so and they probably saved a few bucks in the process. The opening credits run nearly 15 minutes, just as you think no more names can infiltrate the screen they credit everyone... To many hands were in the cookie jar. If you watched Project Greenlight you could see the apprehension Wes Craven had about the director John Gulagar. The direction was spotty to start with, the script seemed to be written by a deluded film fans. The story went no where, I didn't care for the characters. This was a poorly cooncieved project that should have been scrapped.

The Movie Drop off point: Like most films that are posted here their are many such events that would leave tot his movie dropping off. I mean Project Greenlight tried to make interesting independent movies with Stolen Summer and The battle for Shaker heights but this was a studio run operation to make money instead of losing it. The points are so cliched in this film and the best maybe funniest part is that anyone who handled a gun misfired it. Now I don't know if that was script thing where anyone who handles a gun pulls the trigger instantly, it looked like a Mexican wedding guns discharging at rapid fire speed. This may sound trivial but when you the audience watch a movie don't you immediately place yourself inside the film. No one with half a brain cell still left would mistakenly fire rounds and kill innocent people while a blood sucking "thing" is outside trying to suck your brains like a wookalar (the Private Eyes'1980).

Recommendation: If you enjoy pointless blood, this is for you - 2-10
