What if one of those ghost-watcher T.V. casts really encountered a malevolent force?
We've all seen those ghost hunter, basically fake paranormal investigator T.V. show on cable - all green night vision photography and mysterious off-camera bumps in the night. "The Feed" asks what would happen if the cast of such a program encountered a real evil force in the process of putting on an episode.
The Pulse T.V. show "Ghost Chasers" is hosting their annual live broadcast from a supposedly haunted old theatre in Pennsylvania. The episode starts with perfectly believable documentary segments about the theatre's history including murders and the death of the business' creepy owner in a fire. The show's cast then turns down the lights and goes in search of spirits. Just as in the real shows, things drag at moments, but shortly the ghosts start showing up and grow more and more threatening. No one is more surprised than the ghost chasers, who seem wholly unprepared for the challenge of dealing with real apparitions.
Made for just fifteen grand in Pennsylvania, this indie horror flick looks much more expensive and includes numerous clever moments and touches that make it well worth watching. Acting is solid with just the right cheesiness for a faux cable ghost show. Seth Drick, as the show's host Todd, and Brianna Healey, as the girl ghost chaser Amanda, are particularly good. The music adds to the whole affair and production values are solid for an inexpensive indie. The movie includes some genuine chills and a lot of fun moments. The ending is a little predictable, but the movie is fun and the fake-T.V. show premise is well done and entertaining in itself.
Overall - "The Feed" is a clever take on the moment when faux ghost chasers encounter genuine evil.
