Feast

Before Project Greenlight ended up sputtering to a halt and dying along Reality TV Freeway, it finally managed to churn out an entertaining movie. The script for Feast sucks, but the premise and execution deliver on a classic horror set-up: A bunch of rednecks and barflies in a remote desert roadhouse find out the hard way that they’re on the menu when a bunch of gnarly monsters set upon the bar. Feast pretty much hits the ground running and doesn’t let up until the end, dealing out more silliness and gore than you’d expect from a horror film made these days. Director John Gulager has definitely seen The Evil Dead more than a few times, and he wears it on his bloody sleeve. And there’s plenty of blood flying around. Throw into the mix some playful tweaking of audience expectations (one of them brilliant), a clever way of introducing the characters and some seriously messed-up fates, and you’ve got a perfect beer-bash rental. Produced by the Maloof family (of the Sacramento Kings).
