Well Feast was special for me because I watched the entire Project Greenlight season that featured Feast and it was fun to see it in action.
To be honest I was definitly pleasantly surprised when I actually watched it. After watching it get made in Project Greenlight I didn't exactly have the biggest expections and bought it mostly out of curiousity of how the finished project looked. But Feast just had a really good mix of comedy and horror that most new comedy/horror films lacked. It was unsettling but still made you giggle and at teams get a little shocked. The comedy was more potent as I thought and it gave the movie a different feel then most newer horror flicks. The way the told the story (ie the "character bios" ) added quite a bit to the comedy part of the film and was pretty original. The horror came through pretty well at some times as well. The Direction and alll of the effects were well done and the monsters although not the scariest movie monsters were well made, convincing, and creepy. I loved the whole "exo-skeleton" idea too. There were also quite a bit of surprised that took me off guard that I definitly applaud. I love any good movie surprise that I didn't see coming at all. (sometimes they are way to obvious).
As for some cons I thought the movie had a tendency to get too silly sometimes. I mean I know its a horror/comedy but sometimes it crossed the barrier into the "Groan Zone" (just made that neat little phrase up thank you). The overt sillyness sometimes took away too much from the horror which isn't good but overall it kept the balance alright. Other then that the acting was a bit lacking but I can forgive I mean I've seen worse.
So in fewer words Feast was a pleasent surprise and a good horror/comedy with a good amount of both genres and featured an original, interesting, and often funny, manner of story-telling.
