Review of Feast

Feast (2005)
7/10
King Kong cost HOW MUCH?
19 September 2006
So Hollywood continues to pour hundreds of millions of dollars into JUNK like Poseidon and Mission Impossible...meanwhile, there are interesting cats like Chris Moore, Matt Damon and, yes...admit it...Ben Affleck who put there clout behind little flicks like Feast.

Yes, I did watch Project Greenlight. At first, this flick looked like a train-wreck. Gulagher looked completely clueless. Little did we know that, deep beneath that fat, mousy exterior, beat the heart of Andrew Vachss's Burke.

What should have been a trifle turned out to be a fun, gross, laugh out loud comedic screamer that had some legitimate jolts. Give Gulagher $10 million and keep a strong producer like Chris Moore involved and you could have another Usual Suspects or Lock, Stock... The guy knows how to create mood. If a regular genre director had healmed Feast, it would have been another Sci Fi Original piece of crap. But Gulagher really showed a knack for noir. The lighting, the camera angles, what he chose to focus on at certain key points...it all rolled together for an excellent cinematic experience.

Even though I had free passes, this flick is still definitely worth the cost of A Night At The Movies. If it doesn't come to your town, PUT IT ON YOUR NETFLIX QUEUE NOW!!! A satisfying gore-fest that won't leave you disappointed.
