Consensus: Director Gulager makes the most of what he's given; the resulting Feast offers up some surprisingly tasty -- if far from nourishing -- morsels.

Reviews for Feast
Feast does a good job of sending up the genre while maintaining its horror cred.
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.
A slight, forgettable film, not without energy or humor, with an inexhaustible taste for sending up B-movie trash.
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.
Everything that's supposed to happen in this formula doesn't, even when they promise it will. Feast does all the things other movies are afraid to, even Scream.
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.
When monsters attack, the camera gets all jerky, creating the horror effect known as motion sickness.
Feast is a genuinely fun splatter movie that almost never lets up and definitely never takes itself too seriously, going into Evil Dead territory.
John Gulager delivers with a horror-comedy reminiscent of the debuts by Sam Raimi and Peter Jackson.
It's not the lack of originality that sinks the film, however. It's the rank amateurishness of the story construction and performances.
...more exhausting than frightening or funny, it is more likely to induce earache than laughs or shivers.
Take Dead Alive, Evil Dead and From Dusk Till Dawn, toss 'em in a blender and hit 'mutilate'.
Gulager and team have piled on the bloodletting to dam-breaking effect ogling that line between extreme horror & giddy glee that masters Sam Raimi & Peter Jackson perfected.
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.
Should you see the two midnight screenings before it comes out on DVD? Of course!
Feast isn't quite demented enough to reach Raimi-an heights, but Gulager uses parts of the monster-movie buffalo even the buffalo didn't know existed.
