Feeders

This has to be, hands down, the cheapest movie I have ever seen. They couldn't have spent $50 on this turkey. The computer effects look like an Atari 2600 game and the alien creatures look like sock puppets. I found it amusing that the puppet-aliens were always eating people even though they did not appear to have mouths. Fans of really bad movies will probably enjoy this, as I sort of did, but everyone else is advised to stay far away.

Ohh, Feeders.

I've posted some other comments here, but for some reason (though I've referenced this film in them) I haven't come back to this little beauty.

Feeders.

It must have been 96 or so, because dates escape me in my age (and from all the gasoline-milk mixtures I've had over that time), and my sister and I saw this . . . apocryphal miracle in the new releases section of a more-than-common video rental chain. How could we not have rented it?

Feeders. How I miss thee.

It's been a while since I've seen this, so bear with me. Lemme see. Some Commodore 64 special effects, hastily scribbled onto the film strip, signal that aliens have arrived . . . with the noble intention of brutally eating everyone they come across . . . or to burst out of their bellies . .. or to use 'lasers' to raze the whole planet . . . or to impersonate one of the heroic characters . . . any one, or all of these may be their master plan. Since obviously a higher power spurred the creation of this film, who am I to question the intricacies of the plot, me a simple heathen?

My absolute favorite scene is the one with the fat truck driver (well, he might not drive a truck, but I do recall him being obese). This man gets mauled by a 'feeder', and is rescued by the 'heroes', who rush him to a 'doctor', where he 'dies'. I say 'dies' because, as the doctor ceremonially intones 'I'm sorry, this man is dead', and reverently pulls a sheet over his body, THE MAN IS STILL OBVIOUSLY BREATHING -- QUITE DEEPLY! YOU CAN SEE THE SHEET MOVE, PEOPLE!!! Oh, but maybe that's a signal that the alien inside of him is about to burst out, via the magic of uber-superimposed (uberimposed?) post-production editing. The wound, literally, does not overlay the body. It is uberimposed.

Feeders . . . the one. The only.

Two other points -- one being the blowtorching of a 'feeder', which must have been the final scene, seeing as though the feeder puppet is totally ruined, which must have made the special-effects whiz who made it cry like a baby for hours and hours, what, not being told ahead of time that his hand-crafted buddy would be cauterized in such a horrible manner. And the straight-out-of 'Night of the Living Dead' scene with the corpse at the top of the stairs . . . and I mean that as in 'This Scene was directly sheared from the reel of Night of The Living Dead and messily inserted into Feeders', straight-out-of Night of the Living Dead . . .

Feeders . . . where for art thou on DVD? For I would own thee, verily, in a fortnight.

I heard there's a sequel. Taking place during Christmas. But I'll be a Warlord of the Deep if I can't find it here. Or something.

In summary, I would like to say that this movie is apocalyptical; to be collegiate (if at all), I use that term in it's original Greek sense, meaning, rending of the veil. If you see this film, firstly consider yourself lucky. That also means you might have seen other beauties, such as Parts: The Clonus Horror, or Judgment Night, or Rana: The Secret of Shadow Lake, or some other, horrible poison that I haven't sampled yet. And two, realize that, having seen it, you can never go back to how it was before. Now your veil has been torn asunder, and the guttural truth of life pours through . . . Feeders will ruin you, like it did me, with the fact that there are movies like this, being made by people, for some reason or another, and that the only solace comes from either seeing more or drinking the ever popular milkoline.

Feeders. God how I miss you.

What do you get when you combine the acting/directing/scriptwriting of John Polonia and John McBride, along with the stunning visual effects of Phillip Ogden?

A steaming fen of cinematic s**t, that both amuses and enriches all movie watching after seeing this movie. I've rented this movie 8 times, and I have had all of my friends watch it, as well as my mother and uncle. It seriously is probably the funniest movie I've ever seen. You can't beat special effects that consist of someone drawing stuff on the film with a crayon...

And to all you guys who watch this movie...I have a few funny things you should watch for. Watch John Polonia's socks throughout the movie, especially during the scenes in which they run through the forrest. Watch closely the scene when John McBride gets out of the car to run into the doctors office. Watch closely the scene when they listen to the radio report in the car. Notice the pictures that John McBride takes at the flood site, and pay attention to what he says and than does in the next scene.

This movie is simply fraught with mistakes and bad effects...Just go rent it, you won't stop laughing.

I got this movie for 3$ on vhs in a Blockbuster while i was visiting my girlfriend in New Orleans. It looked like good cheesy B-grade movie. What I got when i finally watched it was a movie awful beyond words that seems to have been directed by a first grader. Everything about that movie is horrible, the lighting is too bright or dark in every scene, it features some of the ugliest people ever seen in a movie. If i looked anything remotely like John Polonia i'd shoot myself or shave that mustache.

The story is non-existant, the actors are more wooden than a log and those bad alien puppets made out of socks covered in green paint looked more like giant boogers. Well, there is one thing i enjoyed while watching this "movie", most of the time the audio was so bad i couldn't hear the dialogue so i was spared the brain numbing lines the actors were reading on cards. For a short movie (around 80 minutes) it seemed to be going on forever, it's the first movie that has the ability to slow down time.

1/10 It's a movie that proves it's possible to blow and suck at the same time.

I am not sure how this movie even made it into the legitimate movie rental store I got it from. This is quite possibly brings the standards for amateurs to an all-time low. Grainy picture, acting that would have a middle-school drama teacher in tears, and "special-effects" that could be reproduced on a computer from the 80's. HOWEVER, this was also one of the funniest things I have ever seen, and I would recommend getting it if you get a kick out of terribly done movies.
