Hidden Gem #2



Feast

I watched this project greenlight and thought that they were doing everything wrong. Dimension decided to supersede every ones script vote and pick Feast instead of even thinking over Affleck, Damon, or Craven's opinions. They picked a director who was borderline incompetent and unready for a studio picture, and none of the people on set seemed to like each other. But I have to say I was impressed.

The writers described the script as "Army of Darkness meets Die Hard." The story takes place in a bar in the middle of no where, where a rag-tag group of bottom barrel degenerates team up to fend of the likes of evil, hungry creatures

The actors do a bang up job, better actors than you would expect in a movie of this caliber. The direction was amateurish but fit the style of a very funny and scary monster movie. The gore was excellent, and the monsters were better than most prosthetics live up to these days. The story was more interesting than expected. Overall this flick is incredibly surprising at what it does.

Before watching of course, you should firmly place tongue in cheek and enjoy the gore and one-liners for what they are. Superficial horror fluff, but damn fun.
