Feast

[rerj73]

So, Feast was released today, after much talk. I have to say, this was a fun entry into the genre. The film only sufers from the fact that the first half is so exuberant and the second half descends into convention. But is that a bad thing? The notion that the first 45 is energetic and compelling is worth the price of admission, and the second half is only disappointing in light of what came before. There is some confusing editing, especially in the finale, but what holds up is the sense that what the filmmakers have done is to do a horror movie that likes to play against type. In totum, this is a fun ride that reminds us of why we watch these films. Maybe not many true scares, but a roller coaster that carries us along until we leave the experience with a smile and a belief that there is still ground to break. Not perfect, but worth a look.

I was kind of dissapointed. I was expecting far more gore the way people had hyped it, and the gore there was, while solid FX work, was barely seen becasue of the d**n shaky cam and ultra high frame rate. I hate modern horror flicks (as well as all modern films that use it) because of the high frame rate hyperfast camera work. When I watch a movie, I want to be able to see what's going on, I feel that for my $20, they at least owe me that much. There was no reason for it, because as I said before the FX was solid, with Gary Tunnicliffe doing a stellar job on th creatures and gore alike. So if they weren't trying to hide bad FX, why?
