It's nice to see a horror movie that is not a hollowed out skeleton of mass produced clichés; and how many can boast Mario Batali as a cast member (I'm not saying he was awesome).
James LeGros had his acting mojo going on many years ago. If he was in it then I was fairly confident that I would like the movie or could at the very least depend on a good performance from him. Somewhere along, he seemed to have hit a rough patch and each movie was a crap shoot.
I am happy to say that he is back. I had a warm fuzzy feeling in a cold bloody horror movie.
Bitter Feast is more psychological than the average horror flick, but it has nice undercurrents and satirical commentary on society today.
It's a good day when you turn off the movie and wonder if you can find another one just like it...not perfection, but very satisfying.
