Feed the Gods

There's a good bit of fun to be had here, between the better than it needed to be writing, and the better than they needed to be actors, though the whole thing is let down quite a bit by some shoddy effects and some rushed sequences.

It takes a while to get going, but in the end, the lead up to the carnage actually ends up being the better parts. The characters aren't particularly deep or nuanced, but the actors inject them with enough energy and sense of history that it really kinda works as a hangout movie.

Unfortunately when the bigfoots (Not a spoiler, that's the whole premise) d appear, they're pretty underwhelming. They're not quite "Spirit Halloween" level effects, but they don't quite inspire fear either.

In the end, it's a breezy watchable movie with some fun performances, some decent writing and directing.

The Gods must be fed, to keep the remains of the town of Tendale from being destroyed. Who or what are these Gods, who would not spare even an infant unless he possesses a "green ticket"? How are these tickets obtained? Why does a dark shadow linger on the faces of the townspeople? These are the questions that Will Oates, a somewhat psychologically unstable fan of director Werner Herzog, accompanied by his hotshot- young-lawyer brother Kris and Kris' girlfriend Brit, finds himself trying to answer as he searches for his biological parents in the remains of this town that nestles deep in the heart of the Canadian Taiga. Beautifully detailed (and quirky) characters, witty dialogue and spine-chilling atmospherics add to Croft's fictional history of Tendale. The plot is both poignant and intricate, and requires generous use of the "seek" button if you don't want to miss the finer points! For the seasoned film buffs, especially those who enjoy delving beneath the surface of the movie, "Feed the Gods" is truly a treat.

PS: I don't know what the other reviewers were thinking. They could have been expecting some blood-gore-scream extravaganza, or they might have confused a mentally unstable protagonist's irrational actions with plot holes. Either way, put your expectations from big- budget films aside while watching this. It's worth the effort.

I thought it would be good because the title sounded good and Shawn Roberts was in the movie. It started okay. Shawn's character was too half baked acting, and he seemed like either a 5 year old or someone with a mental defect. His character "Will" had zero substance. Why was he even allowed to have a gun in the movie because he acted more like a lost child. The character was smoking cigarettes like a tough guy then he turned around and was about to run like a kid when he heard the " whatever it was " in the woods. Movie was way over half way through, and still no monster at all...!!!! The dark night scenes were too too dark. They needed sone type of light, everything was too dark!!! Who goes on a trip to a strange town without a flashlight !!!! This movie was a waste of time!!!!

This movie was quite a surprise. I liked it. It isn't very scary or gory, but it has a charm all its own. It is funny, but it isn't a comedy. It just has goofy characters who stay honest to themselves throughout. We have two brothers who each have their own quirks. These quirks make them act differently than you or I would, but it makes sense to them.

The acting is top-notch. The pacing of the movie and the scenes are really good. I think this is kind of a hidden gem. My biggest complaint is that the mystery is so complex, it made the story hard to follow.

I recommend this one to monster movie fans.

The worst thing I don't like about movies like this is the people don't do things that they do in real life. The entire second half of he movie I was yelling at the screen for them to stop doing stupid things. People are dying because they don't think with their brains. Nobody in their right mind would do the things that get themselves killed in these movies. For once, I would like someone to write a movie script where people do smart things and avoid stupid things that get them killed. I gave this movie 3 out of 10 for stupidity. The actors were believable in their development of the characters. The storyline was good. The scenery and film location was excellent. (my wife said my blood pressure was going thru the roof if I didn't stop yelling at the screen)
