Episode 32 - The Feast Trilogy Afterthoughts

 Let’s not waste any time getting to the point.

I do not like the Feast movies.

With that said, let me clarify at least a little on the matter. I do not think they are poorly made movies nor am I unfairly judging them on a scale with other films of different substance and magnitude. As I stated on the show, I probably judge the first one more harshly based on the existence of the sequels, fair or not.

When it comes to horror and comedy there is a thin line of excess for me. Once you have messed the chemistry up, you have lost me. Unfortunately, that is what happened in these films. An easy way to sum up my issue is this: you have these fantastically designed creatures who are used for intense action and thrilling scares and…..humping things. A lot of things. It isn't funny (unless you are 12) and is completely unnecessary. Again when you want to combine horror and comedy, there is a fine line. Here they crossed that line by the timing and choices for humor and it just completely made me disinterested in the movies. The sequels were abysmal to me, more of a chore to get through than any signs of entertainment. However, I can see other reasons why many would enjoy these and I say to all of them, enjoy! Just not for me.

Until next time

Beware the moon,
