OK y'all, I just possibly watched the best horror movie on the planet. I have a new favorite, and it may even surpass Texas Chainsaw Massacre, if that is even possible.
Jim and I had "Horror Fest" starting Friday night. (It was Friday the 13th, you know!) We rented 6 horror movies and had popcorn and candy.
"Feast" is FUCKING AWESOME. I mean it. It has everything, a generous amount of gore, appropriate suspense, a good story, and the most hilarious script EVER. Even the monsters are good, even if a little cheesy. I was never bored, and I think in one part I laughed so hard I peed a little. It was obvious that it was the director's intention for you to laugh. The director takes every horror movie cliche and fucks with it. At first, I thought, "OK, this is corny", but as it progresses, the corniness is absolute perfection because you need the comic relief. The rest of the movie is like OMG did that just happen? When's the last time you could say that about a horror movie? I've been so disappointed with horror movies in the last 10 years or so. Every now and then one comes out that I like, but I'm never so "wowed" that I'm clapping at the end. I'm buying this movie. Seriously, if you are a horror fan, you'll love it.
As for the other 5 movies I rented? Meh.
"Unrest" - It was OK. Slow start. Pretty good rental.
"See no Evil" - Lacking. A couple of good kill scenes.
"Hard Candy" - Good acting, decent movie, but I wouldn't buy it.
"Pulse" - Stupid.
"The Pumpkin Karver" - I wanted to rip my own eyeballs out. I was laughing, but it wasn't the director's intention.
I love scary movies, so I will have to check that one out! I thought pulse was stupid too! Have you seen descent? I thought it was pretty good....good suspense, kind of cheesy towards the end but I liked it. :-) You and I were thinking a long the same lines...Friday night should have been scary movie night, it wasn't but I did think about it. :-)
ReplyDeleteHole - yes, I loved the Descent too - but Feast was even better than that one! We actually bought a used copy on Sunday and watched it again. :)

I definitely have to check Feast out. I haven't seen a good horror flick in a while.
ReplyDeleteI don't know if I could take watching Feast. I don't usually like gore....only suspense.
ReplyDelete...like 'Dark Water' and 'The Ring'...I LOVED '28 Days Later' and 'Shaun of the Dead' was hilarious!
I'm looking forward to '28 Weeks Later'. I really hope they don't fuck it up like they normally do with a sequel. :(
p.s. I'll probably rent 'Unrest' ..was that the name of it? The one with the medical students? It sounds good to me. ;-)
