This fast moving horror comedy has something to offer for all: creatures that are well designed, enough guts and gore to fill a medium sized swimming pool and plenty of wise-cracks and funny death scenes to please a comedy enthusiast. Some jump-scares will also appeal to the casual horror fan. Feast follows a bunch of people, all colorful characters, in a bar in the middle of nowhere, who are besieged by a bunch of hungry and horny creatures. A desperate fight for survival ensues. Acting is not the right reason to start watching this first in a trilogy, though you will find a lot worse in most recent horror movies. The creatures are fully shown for longer stretches of time, and they look very original, scary and dangerous. Great camp fun.
Both sequels keep up the good work that this part 1 starts. Part 3 sports one of the greatest endings and credit-songs in the history of cinema. Director John Gulager followed this trilogy by directing Piranha 3DD, which in all aspects falls short of his directing debut.
If you liked feast, check out Splinter (2008) and the Hatchet trilogy (2006-2013)
