It's funny, on Project Greenlight they kept the creatures identity hidden the entire time, and now they plaster it on the cover of the DVD.

My friend said this was one of his favorite horror films of last year so I'm eagerly awaiting this release. Looks like they packed it full of good stuff too.

It is. The best part is, a majority of the deaths are from characters you'd NEVER expect to die.

Spoiler:
I LOVED the fact that they had the balls to off the little kid right after they said he'd live for being a kid.

I watched the whole PG season, but never actually got to see the movie. Will probably rent this first, but it looked pretty good, and despite my usual disdain for horror, this could make good Halloween viewing.

Gulager was such an underdog, and word has been pretty positive about Feast. Definitely renting it when it comes out.

Gulager might have been an underdog....but IMO he was just a retard. During the whole of PG he just seemed to be way out of his depth, he didn't seem to inspire anyone, he didn't seem to have a clue what was going on half the time, and at times he seemed to seriously be digging his own grave (wanting to jump on a plane to meet directly with Harvey Wienstein...yeah he's going to love that idea John, wanting to employ everyone he knows as the cast rather than going for anyone that might actually be known).

They kept the monsters hidden on the entire series and i can see why. They look bloody awful. I found PG interesting because it demonstrated how NOT to go about making movie, but i will avoid this movie like the plague.

Not even a limited two day engagement. The film will only play at midnight on Friday, September 22nd and Saturday, September 23rd in 64 locations total.

However, in Vegas, the film will get an entire weekend to play at the Palms (only due to the fact the Maloofs own the Palms and they have money invested in the film).

I really see no point in seeing this in the theatre if that cut is the trunscated R-rated version, I'll just wait and rent the 'unrated' video version.

And here's an example of the Catch-22 of PGL. On the one hand, its a competition to give an aspiring filmmaker their big break. On the other hand, its a tv show that aims to get the most entertainment value out of newbie filmmakers. And there's little entertainment value in the things that went smoothly. This has been a problem throughout PGL -- the people involved in making the movie are surprised on seeing the show making everyone look incompetent, when they thought the shoot had typical ups-and-downs and generally went well. Word from people that have seen it is that "Feast" is a solid little horror movie. If there was a major league screwup, it was with the marketing and release strategy.

Well it looked like a mess from what i saw. This is the thing with these reality shows....people that get given a bad rap always say afterwards "They portrayed me that way...i am not like that, they edited it to make me look bad." but the fact of the matter is that they did act like that because it was caught on film. Sure they can manipulate things by editing, but at the end of the day a person is responsible for their actions, and Gulagher did some things during PG that i found totally stupid for a man that had been given this opportunity. I could imagine that a lot of people were saying it wasn't as bad as it appeared simply to try and get some kind of damage control. They knew the film was going to have distribution problems and they needed as much help as they could muster. Of course it makes it more entertaining when everything goes arse over tit, if it all went as planned it would be damn boring. Maybe i am wrong and the movie is good, but for me i need more than low budget trashy horror movies to keep my interest.

I'm sure that if the PGL crew followed any of us around non-stop, and edited together 30 minutes from a week of footage, they could make anyone look like a complete idiot. The thing is, this isn't the first time PGL has done this. It isn't even the 2nd. All 3 seasons they made everyone involved look like complete idiots. I find it more believable that PGL made them look that way, than Mirimax managing to fill their movie crew with idiots 3 years running. I'm not saying there weren't dumb things done -- but I don't think its a higher amount of stupidity than usual. Of course, its all speculation and opinions -- only those on set really know the story.

"Feast", at every point in its production, always made it clear that it was a low budget trashy horror movie (albeit, trying to be a fun one). If that's not your cup of tea, then clearly this movie is not meant for you. After 2 feel-good indie coming-of-age stories, I thought this was a nice change of page for PGL. For me, its the first PGL movie that I'm actually looking forward to seeing (and expecting to enjoy it).

I remember someone telling me that the last season of PGL was about a horror movie, but I never got to see any of the episodes. Anyone know if they are going to have a box set of the series/movie like the first two?

I saw 'FEAST' tonight for it's two night midnight engagement(before it's off to dvd land),and it was a good gory fun time.

The Weinsteins are doing the film a disservice by not releasing it properly with the Halloween season. Where I expect,it would make anywhere between 10-20 million if marketed right.

It's a definite audience pleaser good time party type of film(those in attendence had a ball with it). And the film is very funny in spots(and intentionally so). It's perfect Halloween entertainment in the Dead Alive, From Dusk Til Dawn, Evil Dead 2 style.

Is the Feast DVD being delayed from 10/17? I was just updating my Blockbuster queue and noticed that they changed the release date to 12/19, and it is no longer available on Amazon. Maybe this means the Weinsteins have decided to do a wide theatrical run for Halloween after all?
