My brother and I watched “Feast” the other day as part of a triple B-movie marathon. It didn’t start off as a triple feature. Eventually, it just kind of evolved into one. That’s what happens when you rent five movies and are not that sleepy. You’ve just got to keep the party going. My brother looked at me after every movie and said, “Are you going to go to sleep or you got one more in you?” I was game. After seven or so beers, so was he. “Feast” was followed by “Abominable” and then “Motor Home Massacre”.

“Feast” is about monsters attacking people in a bar. The end. It is a simple, stripped down, gory monster flick. No frills. No fuss. Just blood and guts. The who, what, where and why of the monster’s reason for being or attacking is not discussed. When you get down to it, it’s not that important. What is important is that monsters are ripping people apart as disgustingly as possible. “Feast” delivers the monster thrills.

I thoroughly enjoyed “Feast”. This is the kind of B-movie I always dream about renting. This movie completely understands its audience. The monsters attack without mercy and the people fight for their lives. Done and done. There were many fine gore scenes in this one. The most disgusting had to be the horny little monster going to town on the woman’s face. Then she spits out his monster love juice. Yuck-o. That had us cringing. And laughing.

“Feast” is a must see for B-movie fans. It has everything you could want from a monster movie. Monsters? Check. Blood? Lots of it. Dismemberments? Absolutely. Emmanuelle, (Krista Allen), with a shotgun pounding a monsters face in? Heck yeah! The only thing missing from “Feast” is some gratuitous nudity. They had a lot of hot babes in this one, especially Krista, and no nudity. But with this much senseless bloodshed going on, I can let it go and just enjoy the mayhem.

SCORE: 3.5 out of 4 killer Kristas
