Re: The Feeding
Thought this looked great. Had a sci-fi channel movie production value to it. And who cares if the concept has been done? Everything has been done! The trick is to put a unique spin on it so as to make it different enough from what's been done before. And of course, we won't know that until we all see the final product. And like another poster mentioned, its a great concept because it lends itself to lower budgets.
Music was definitely from "the village". The opening production credit music sounded like it was created using either soundtrack loops or garageband. I wish there were more atmospheric creepy and moody loops for that program. I'd score my own material then.
I wouldn't be worried about using the music from the village temporarily because you're not selling it yet, just promoting it online. Either way, you'd never get a lawsuit right off the bat. You'd receive a cease and decist letter first and give you a free chance to stop using it (unless they caught you while making money off it. Then they might seek to collect damages). But since you're just using it temporarily, I doubt anyone will bother you about it.
What's the running time of the flik? And I'm curious about the budget. How much did it cost to make this? And was everyone paid or was labor donated? (ie. DP, directors, actors, crew, etc.) The reason I ask is because my 23 minute short cost about $2,900.00 and I'm always curious about cost comparisons.

Re: The Feeding
Very nice looking stuff. My only complaint - that damn top-firing blank gun! The flash should come out of the barrel not the hole in the top of the barrel. Lifted me right out of the reality you'd created. Do an optical flash and fix that bad boy.

Ashron (Paul Barrett) would be better off answering this, but I seem to recall this being a $60,000 effort. At least that's what I remembering seeing on another board I frequent in which the films director is active. And it's a full length feature, just not sure of the exact running time.

Re: The Feeding
Excellent look to your film. I don't mind the re-tread horror concept, just don't forget the requisite gratuitous T&A!! Seriously though, the strength lies in making the "entity" an unknown for as long as possible, making the pyschological tension the driving force. People's imaginations will conjure up far worse things than a guy in a wolf suite.
