Last Project Greenlight film is a really bloody, really gory, very funny (in a sick way) horror film that messes with your expectations over and over again.
The plot of the film is simple, late one night at an isolated road house populated by various people, a man runs in and says that a Hellstorm of trouble is coming and that they need to lock the windows and doors. What then transpires is that monsters attack and everyone tries to stay alive.
Simple.
What happens is that the film plays with conventions over and over again as it sets up your expectations and knocks them down. The first half hour is incredible since the film just moves and you aren't allowed to breath as you are battered by jokes, gore and things that movies don't readily do. Its brilliant. After about a half an hour the film settles into the siege and things slacken off. Its not bad, but there is too much talk and not enough action.
And its bloody. I mean really really bloody and gory and violent. If you don't like that sort of thing do not watch this movie.
I really like this film because it does what it wants it set out to be it goes for it like gangbusters.
Its amazing that the film works since apparently, like all of the Project Greenlight films this was suppose to fail. the idea was to make great TV and not great movies. If you've seen the first two films that were made for the series the films were just okay but you really can't imagine them having much of a life. Feast was suppose to be like that. Get a "loser" for a director and take a nothing script and watch it all blow up. the problem was that the film actually turned out pretty good. The film had been described to me as a really good film that was better than most of the Hollywood horror films of late, which having seen the film is the perfect way to describe the movie.
If you're a horror fan you really should see this. Other people may or may not like it based on their tolerance for the red stuff.
