Now I am a huge fan of the movie "Feast" so of course I was skeptical when I found out that a sequel was made. Most sequels never live up to the original. With few exceptions. In the horror genre it is almost unheard of that the sequels even come close. Although lately some newer sequels do hold up. In my opinion the SAW sequels so far have lived up to the hype. Hostel II in my opinion was far superior a movie than the first one(except for the uncalled for dudity). But I loved "Feast." For those of you who have not seen the movie it was a Project Green Light production which I whole heartedly believe in anyways.
I digress. "Feast 2" what can I say about the movie. The original was fucked up and I had no idea what they could do to top it so needless to say I was not expecting much. After watching the movie I really can't do justice by explaining it but I am going to try. The first movie takes place in a bar setting and the patrons of the unnamed bar are trying to survive an attack by what is thought to be an alien force or a military experiment gone bad. They don't really explain what the creatures are that are attacking the bar. Some stars in the movie are actors such as Judah Freidlander of 30 rock, Eric Dane of Grey's Anatomy(McSteamy)(I know it's gay that I know that), Baltezar Ghetti, Henry Rollins, and of course the legendary Jason Mewes. The Aliens are this violent, vicious, and seemingly sex crazed beasts with razor sharp claws and teeth and have the ability to reproduce almost with Polaroid like speed. At the end of the movie I believe 3 survivors are left standing and they drive away. You must see this movie before you see the sequel. If you think the first movie is fucked and are disgusted by it don't see the second film but if you loved it like me see the sequel.
Now in the beginning of "Feast 2"it starts off with you seeing the car driving away from the first movie but you never see what happens to the survivors of the first movie or so you think. Two survivors that you thought were dead are in the original movie. The writers also bring in some great new characters to the film, and Judah Freidlander makes an appearance as well in a weird dream sequence. The new cast of characters include a Mexican Midget Tag Team wrestling duo(which is funny in it's own right), a hobo a car salesmen whose wife is cheating on him, his cheating wife and her lover are also in the movie. The movie is so much more over the top than the first one. With some disturbing visual images ( this movie is not recomended for the faint of heart or young children) the filmakers make you laugh, gasp and want to vomit all at the same time.
I'm not sure how I really feel. I don't know if I like the movie or if I am still in shock by the attroshesness of the movie that is called "Feast 2: Sloppy Seconds" I will have to see it again. What makes me wonder is that the team that has brought you these two lovely movies is at it again with the 3rd installment of this franchise. The next movie is called, "Feast 3: The Happy Finish" I don't know how they can top what they already have but I know that I will definitely be watching it at some point.
Well that is my movie review and the latest blog by yours truly
