The Feast

Somebody has watched to many artistic complementary trash, and tried to make a similar movie without any talent.

It's very slow, pointless monument of amateurism.

I will admit that the extremely slow pace tested my patience at times, but I thought the payoff was worth it. I assume the characters were intentionally written to be unlikable, but for me, the result was that I wasn't very interested in them. I also don't think the story does a good enough job connecting the transgressions they made with the consequences. Still, it did have the feeling that something was building, and that is mostly what kept my interest. I'm not going to recommend The Feast, but I did get some enjoyment out of it.

This is a poor man's "Antichrist" with a reversed message in comparison with Lars Von Trier movie. "Nature is satan's church" is the message of "Antichrist", whereas, the message of "The feast" is ecological.

A watchable indie art/horror, too slow at the first half. Second half is more intense. Good actors, good directing. Not very interesting.

I have watched much worse movies the last 2 years, therefore, i believe that a lot of horror fans will enjoy this. Welsh language is a beautiful language. But definitely, this is not a "must see" movie.

I saw it Thursday night at MotelX.

At the closing session of MotelX, this film received the Méliés D'argent - Best European Feature 2021 award.

I understand the Jury's decision, as it is a film that brings together two strong trends in current horror cinema, Folk/Horror, with a story largely based on Gaelic folklore using Welsh language, and Echo/Horror in vogue for its role in social awareness of the climate emergency we are currently experiencing.

Forethoughts aside, it's actually a good movie with excellent cinematography, gorgeous footage, well-crafted with a captivating story in increasing tension and good straight, hard horror with well-executed gore.

Its negative aspects, in my opinion, are an initial narrative rhythm that is too slow and despite the good performances of the actors in general, some "overacting" in some scenes. However, i highlight it is a good horror movie that I recommend.

This Welsh girl comes to the house to help serve at a dinner party. But she's 'of the land' and the homeowners are mining in that land...a land that's been forbidden to touch. She brings the wrath on those that are violating the ridge. Creepy. Bizarre. & Pretty Good.
