Movie Mad Review:
Since I was absolutely fucked from my Thursday night drinking/boxing exploits, I stayed in this Saturday to watch Feast (Un-rated Edition) the latest Project Greenlight!
Umm...project from Matt Damon and Ben Affleck (co-created with Wes Craven), potential is massive.
The movie starts out on a peculiar note, with frighteningly funny character profiles, including name, occupation, useful skills, and life expectancy (which, with giant, skinless, ravenous monsters heading their way, won't be very long).
Now stuff like this works for funny gangster type movies but christ not here!
The best comparison for this movie would be the great and classic Tremors. But the comparison dies here!
This movie tries to do the same, with all the characters trapped in a bar with hungry monsters outside trying to get in and eat them.
What worked with Tremors was the great humour, this has few laughs, which in all fairness are quite funny, but it is meant to be scary! This is sadly where it fails!
It's quite fascinating how many weapons one can find or make in a bar, but if you're looking to be scared, don't waste your money!
An unknown cast except Navi Rawat (Ryan's daughters mum Peurto Rican bird from The O.C.), who does ok. The star of this cast would be Balthazar Getty.
The gore is not great, the acting and laughs ok, effects ok, scares don't exist.
I would probably give it 2.5 stars but as usual the Sausage Machine Man Janusas, won't do us 0.5 stars.
Worth Watching ?
No, not really! It isn't that bad, but there is much much better.
