Reviews provided by RottenTomatoes

Michael Esposito, Chicago Tribune: When monsters attack, the camera gets all jerky, creating the horror effect known as motion sickness. Read more

Peter Hartlaub, San Francisco Chronicle: While the reality television series that chronicled the making of this low-budget horror film last year was extremely entertaining, the piece of cinema that resulted is kind of a bore. Read more

Scott Tobias, AV Club: Who knows what might have happened if he had the time and the leverage to smooth out the rough edges, but material this junky can only be salvaged for so much scrap. Read more

Scott Brown, Entertainment Weekly: 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 more

Dallas Morning News: Read more

Chuck Wilson, L.A. Weekly: Gulager and screenwriters Marcus Dunstan and Patrick Melton have come up with some wittily nasty moments. Read more

Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel: [Director John Gulager] shows a little flair for the genre, though the editing is so frenetic you really can't see what's going on (a blessing, considering how cheesy the monsters look and move). Read more

James Berardinelli, ReelViews: The word 'unwatchable' is overused when it comes to bad movies, but this is a case when its employment does not represent hyperbole. Read more

Colin Covert, Minneapolis Star Tribune: The action is manic, the monsters are ghastly and the situations, dialog and casting are on-purpose laughable. Read more

St. Louis Post-Dispatch: Read more

Dennis Harvey, Variety: Basically throwing together familiar horror ideas without focusing on any in particular, Feast hopes its wild tone will compensate for the lack of distinctive characters or ideas. Read more
