It works as a funny and slicker-than-expected parody of the genre.

The first two "Project Greenlight" films got only brief local runs. Feast isn't likely to do much better.

When monsters attack, the camera gets all jerky, creating the horror effect known as motion sickness.

While the reality television series that chronicled the making of this low-budget horror film last year was extremely entertaining, the piece of cinema that resulted is kind of a bore.

[Director John Gulager] shows a little flair for the genre, though the editing is so frenetic you really can't see what's going on (a blessing, considering how cheesy the monsters look and move).

This no-budget Project Greenlight production (the third and last) is a fountain of wit as well as gore.

A satisfying roll in the horror sack, and I flipped for it...

amidst all the gleeful profanity, gross character stereotyping, outrageous interspecies rape and gory grotesquery, an apparent lack of originality is the one thing that should not cause undue offence here.

Feast is too knowing and in its own way, too high profile to be born as cult cinema. But it's a reasonable facsimile and as such deserves a look from the genre connoisseur.

The uncut version is a rip-roaring, blood-spattered blast of high-octane entertainment that is thoroughly enjoyable, exuberant fun.

A slight, forgettable film, not without energy or humor, with an inexhaustible taste for sending up B-movie trash.

Feast your eyes on this gory, gooey, giggle-inducing unrated disc.

Feast does a good job of sending up the genre while maintaining its horror cred.

That Feast can so carefully balance well-played horror and comedy throughout its entire running time is a sure indicator that it is bound to become a cult classic.

...the filmmaking is so frenetic, it's hard to tell what's happening. (Unrated Cut)

...more exhausting than frightening or funny, it is more likely to induce earache than laughs or shivers.

...If you're looking for a blood-splattered, gore soaked, ***-kicking good time, get this disc cause this ***** has got it all in spades.

The sepia-toned freeze frames that introduce each character with their names, occupations and life expectancy are a lot of fun, but ultimately the action is cut too fast and too close to be able to tell what's going on.

Feast suffers from spastic camera syndrome, along with a debilitating bout of hyper-editing disorder.

Audience Reviews for Feast

Doesn't pretend to be original, far from it, this is your basic group of random survivors holed up and fighting off some nasty monsters with little weaponry. One by one people go down as the creatures rip them apart, no one knows where they are from or what they are, its a very simple premise but always effective.This

The "humping" part was stupid and gross. Other than that, it's okay.
