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.

Reviews for Feast
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.
Gulager and screenwriters Marcus Dunstan and Patrick Melton have come up with some wittily nasty moments.
The action is manic, the monsters are ghastly and the situations, dialog and casting are on-purpose laughable.
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.
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.
Should you see the two midnight screenings before it comes out on DVD? Of course!
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.
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.
With some amusing performances (Jason Mewes and Henry Rollins, in particular) and an appealingly random sense of humor, Feast hits more often than it misses.
This no-budget Project Greenlight production (the third and last) is a fountain of wit as well as gore.
And the 3rd season of Project Greenlight proves the charm with the slick, sick but funny bit of Grand Guignol directed by Hollywood son John Gulager.
This is 88 minutes of pure snark-fueled adrenaline rush, a nonstop disgusting grossout of meaty, liquid carnality that is both hilarious and uncomfortable...
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
...nasty, brutish, and short, just like Hobbes said all horror flicks should be.
It hits hard and fast, letting up only to inject some black humor and amp up the tension again before coming back for more.
