Hungry For More?....Maybe.
I picked this up because it was Halloween and I thought...why the hell not. I put it in an watched it with a friend of mine b/c we both like cheesy sci-fi/horror films and I suppose in that regard the film did not disappoint. But I mean it never really rises above mediocrity, the creatures aren't overly terrifying, the characters aren't overly memorable.The scenario is pretty run of the mill, a group of people sitting in a bar enjoying a standard night of drinking and pool are interrupted by the ramblings of someone who stumbles in from out of the desert talking about creatures, he is of course dismissed until low and behold the creatures show up and average horror fare ensues.The set up is generic, if you've seen Evil Dead or even The Thing, the premise of people trapped in an isolated location battling creatures is standard. The movie to some extent capitalizes on this by giving us a "rundown" of the characters, where they fall in respective horror genres and their predicted life expectancy. Which I admit I got a good chuckle from, but the rest of the movie just sort of feel flat on itself.The only thing I will say is this, after watching Feast 1, while I admit neither myself nor my friend were overly impressed with the film we were curious as to what happened in Feast 2 & 3. So in that regard the movie is compelling enough to make you want to watch the second and third installments if for no other reason to see what happens to the characters etc which is why I say this is a 3 out of 5.I don't think after watching 1-3 you'll be compelled to watch them again soon, but I suppose for the cost, and what they are we can all just switch off and enjoy some mindless horror films and for that, they're worth keeping on the shelf for that rainy day when you just crave a horror film.Like I said I recommend as a shelf holder and seeing 1 does make you want to see 2 and 3, they're just nothing overly memorable and are average at best.
