Film ThreatPete Vonder Haar
This is a superior horror film. It hits hard and fast, letting up only to inject some black humor and amp up the tension again before coming back for more. Feast is nasty, brutish, and short, just like Hobbes said all horror flicks should be. Read full review

Entertainment WeeklyScott Brown
Feast isn't quite demented enough to reach Raimi-an heights, but Gulager uses parts of the monster-movie buffalo even the buffalo didn't know existed. Read full review

PremiereKelly Borgeson
Winds up being rather fun. It's not great, but it's certainly not the worst monster movie that I've sat through -- that might be 2003's "Darkness Falls." Read full review

The highlight is a meta touch: A funny on-screen résumé is posted each time we meet a new character. Read full review

Forgettable fun for the undiscriminating. Read full review

L.A. WeeklyChuck Wilson
Feast isn't the least bit artful, but it is gleefully gruesome, which may be all one can ask of a no-budget monster movie. Read full review

Chicago TribuneMichael Esposito
Follows a common horror flick recipe (people under siege from hungry monsters--so much for Greenlight's search for originality), adding a dash of humor to keep things from becoming too much of a checklist. Read full review

The Hollywood ReporterRichard James Havis
Contains no shocks. But it works as a funny and slicker-than-expected parody of the genre. Read full review

The A.V. ClubScott Tobias
Gulager shows that he truly is PGL's most gifted alumnus. Read full review

Baltimore SunMichael Esposito
Fans of horror-comedy probably will enjoy this movie, even though chuckles outnumber scares. Read full review

Los Angeles TimesJohn Anderson
A sad farewell to the promising Project Greenlight concept, this Feast leaves viewers with nothing satisfying to tuck into. Read full review

Chicago ReaderJ.R. Jones
It's gooey fun for the first reel or two despite an abundance of close-ups that render the frantic action nearly unreadable. Read full review

TV Guide MagazineMaitland McDonagh
John Gulager's directing debut is horror at its most reductive and least resonant. Read full review

Washington PostDan Zak
What's the difference between Feast and, say, "Alien" or "The Texas Chain Saw Massacre," all of which share the same plot? Patience. Feast lacks it. Read full review

Zero-star movies are a rare and terrifying breed - films that warrant recommendation only as an alternative to physical distress. Read full review
