Straightforward no-brainer about an isolated desert bar that is set upon by four bloodthirsty aliens. It isn't original but who cares? It does what it says on the box, so to speak, and in another universe in another time it probably would have been a cult video hit.

Utterly routine horror movie in which toothy monsters besiege an isolated bar full of cliche patrons.
-
Not too hard to guess who's going to make it out, but there's enough going on to forget it for a little while anyway. Pleasantly surprised this was the winner of Affleck and Damon's Project Greenlight.

Fast, fun and fuckin bloody. I don't care how unoriginal it was, the characters and the style made this one a blast.

Pretty average creature flick that really just made me want to re-watch Splinter, which does the whole trapped in one space thing a hell of a lot better and with a much more interesting "creature". There are a few fun scenes here and there (Judah Friedlander's eye comes to mind) but most of the humour fell flat and I absolutely hated the editing done whenever there was any sort of action; the quick cutting or the removal of frames, whatever it was, was obnoxious.
A failure with one or two decent sequences. I can only imagine how awful the two sequels are.

Starts off really well with some great little jokes and laughs but gets a little muddled in the second act. It's not without quality though, decent action and genuine surprises make it a well worth a watch siege horror.

Movie full of cliches, not like the parts of comedy mixed with horror, it's hard to take the film seriously.
The only thing that I liked are the parts of gore that are cool, the rest is not much advantage ... -
I give this a lot of credit for mixing things up and playing against convention. Recommended if you like humor with a mean streak.

Wow, “Feast” ist echt ein großer, blutiger Filmspaß. Zumindest wenn man mit Monsterfilmen und Horror etwas anfangen kann. Skeptikern und Freunde der sanften Gangart werden mit “Feast” nämlich in keinem Fall glücklich. Klar, der Film ist eines dieser Werke, bei denen man am besten das Hirn ausschaltet und gar nicht erst anfängt über Logik und Dialoge nachzudenken, aber das ist in diesem Fall gar nicht weiter schlimm. “Feast” mach von Beginn an klar, dass der Film sich nicht zu ernst nimmt, sondern einfach nur Genrefreunde unterhalten will.
Und wie gesagt, das gelingt dem von John Gulager inszeniertem Film auf ganzer Linie. Wenn zum Beispiel jeder Hauptcharakter mit einem kurzen Standbild und Texteinblendungen eingeführt wird, sorgen diese Texteinblendungen für manches Schmunzeln…

A generic creature-feature with the most obnoxious, confusing, muddled characters I've seen in this entire list of horror films. No doubt there are some great practical effects (as I will always give kudos to), but really there is nothing that can save this frustrating, annoying, misogynistic, boring slaughter house.
Avoid at all costs.

Like I loved half this movie, the other half annoyed me greatly. The Info credit that popped up for everyone was fun, and some of the gore was fun and I straight up LOVED that when one character gets away, they just leave everyone behind...like any real human would do. Finally someone did it in a horror film. Friedlander is annoying and his fate goes on far too long. All the monsters humping the dead bodies was stupid.

A much needed unconventional movie.

Det er en kjent sak at omtrent enhver tulling kan lage en film om han får en bunke dollarsedler, et kamera og hjelp fra en gjeng håpløse wanna-be-skuespillere og det er en like kjent sak at selv dyktige filmhåndverkere kan fremstå som noen tullinger om de velger feil produksjon. Dette syndromet slår kanskje enda oftere ut i horror-sjangeren enn i de andre og forklaringen er såre enkel: publikumet vil jo bare ha blod og gørre. Men så finnes det disse unntakene som er unnfanget med et lite budsjett som allikevel slår pusten ut av den intetanende seeren.
De to manusforfatterne Marcus Dunstan og Patrick Welton (Saw IV, Saw V, Saw VI) har sammen med regissør John Gulager maktet å ta…
