The Feed

The reviews at the top have to be those who either invested in the movie or are in it. This movie is absolutely awful. Not only does it take forever to get to any sort of point but it completely wastes your time with useless scenes and an unnecessarily long "infomercial" about the past events of the theater. \ This movie costs $15,000? For real?!?!?!??! I probably could have done it on a free weekend with a paycheck.

I hate to bash the movie. I know whoever did this worked very hard at getting it from pre-production to post. How it ended up on the shelf at my local movie store baffles me.

Kudos for doing what you love. I love horror films A list, B List and all the sorts but this movie definitely falls in the Z list category.

Dive into the fun and approach this as what it purports to be: a television series akin to 'GhostHunters'. The first half was well done, it really felt like a tv series you might see on any of the networks. Much like some Superbowls, however, the "commercials" sometimes steal the show. Having Lloyd Kaufmann of Troma Films fame as an attorney, was one of the highlights of this film. Overall, I liked it. Where it suffered was that there really weren't a lot of 'scares' until the very end. The makeup was good, especially if you watch the behind the scenes. Where it suffered was the electronic special effects. The first 'ghost' to be seen seemed out of place in it's 'unnaturalness'... after all of the movie before it, which had the look and feel of a reality show, it was quite obviously digitally placed. The acting was uneven, especially the old guy who seemed a bit wooden at times. Bottom line ? It could of been better...but on a budget of $15,000 it was a masterpiece.

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.
