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

Feast has all the earmarkings of one of those cult films best seen at midnight, in a crowded theater, with a rowdy audience of horror geeks and drunken college kids. It's a raucous, gory, and wild ride%u2014let's hope it finds the appreciative audience it

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.

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

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.

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.

The biggest shock is how well Feast works, and it works because of Gulager, who always finds fascinating ways of taking the obvious and making it his own.

It hits hard and fast, letting up only to inject some black humor and amp up the tension again before coming back for more.

By any objective standard, Feast isn't a good movie, but by those of its low-rent genre it's kind of fun.

What has ended up on screen is a pretty good horror flick that is marred only by obvious budgetary restraints

...nasty, brutish, and short, just like Hobbes said all horror flicks should be.

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

Who knows what might have happened if he had the time and the leverage to smooth out the rough edges, but material this junky can only be salvaged for so much scrap.

Repetitive and edited in a stuttering, lightning-fast style that makes it impossible to see who or what is doing what to what or whom, John Gulager's directing debut is horror at its most reductive and least resonant.

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.

Although Feast will never be mistaken for a masterpiece of the horror genre, on its own 'grindhouse cinema' terms, it mostly delivers the gory goods.
