omg...saw this movie tonite.....BURN IT NOW PLEASE!!!!!!!!

I was bored out of my mind in the theater...a bunch of girls wanted to see it..so i was stuck as the only dude there..so i got bored..and throwed popcorn around...

the movie is sooo slooowwwwwwwww paced u want to just kill urself...the only action that starts to happen is in the last 30 min of the movie!!!

first hour..total BS..."OMGGG STOPP CALLINGG MEE!!! IM SCARREDD!!! DADDDYYY SAVEEEE MEEEE!!!" HOO BOOO BEE BOOO!!!....omg...in the beginning i thought the actress was hot..but after the movie was going forward i started liking her less and less.....she jus annoyed the hell out of me.

It's a typical horror flick...the main character is a stupid ass that does stupid crap...very dark lighting..lots of blues...loads of black contrast...sloow paced dolly shots that move around corners and objects.....violins in the orchestra creating suspense sounds...the occasional heart beat sound...and a really whaccck storry.


..hollywood...make a better remake...please...
 
Wehn u have a pack of women ordering u to go see a movie with them..u cant refuse....even tho there was 8 of them..
 
Looks awful.

Can't wait to see that cute girl run around all pretty and scared until at the end she cowboys up and with ultimate girl power kicks ass, kills the vilian and overcomes her inner obsticles all at the same time.

Did I mention that I think the girl is cute?

I was wondering about this. They took the first 20 minutes of the original and stretched that into a feature-length movie. Not necessarily a great idea.
 
When remaking a movie like this, the hardest part is the we all know the once shocking twist. I can't believe anyone even bothered to try especially a hack like Jake Wade Wall who has no clue how to write a horror movie.
 
Yeah, I spent about a week of watching the trailer for Feast, then coming to terms that this movie got released before Feast has gotten released (i don't care if it's different production companies) and that it was actually high in the weekend box office.

But most importantly, Feast hasn't been released, and that piece of **** has.

The trailer for Feast, if yous guys are interested. I mean, it may not be the best looking movie, and the trailer doesn't play to the actual strengths of the movie, but it definately should appeal to all the ****ers who made final destination and when a stranger calls top box office material. Too bad the Weinsteins ****ed that up and didn't release it January 20th like it was supposed to. IT would've strangled the teen/twenties demographic and taken all of their money.

The CineAlta looks nice, too.
 
The ONLY reason I am ineterested to see Feast is to see what Gulager did with a piece of crap script visually. I like his style from what I have seen and would have been very curious to see what he did with a beyond terrible script.
 
The script was really bad? I've only been a couple of pages in each time I'd read it. I admit, some parts were very cheesy like the life expectancies, but it seems like it'd be fun. kinda like evil dead, except... Well, obviously nothing is gonna be half as good as Evil Dead was.
 
FEAST? Yes, the script is atrocious... absolutely atrocious. It is one of the worst written scripts I've ever read. I mean, did you watch the PG???? They were all bickering about how bad the script was.
 
Yeah, but I thought was like bad in the bad horror movie way, like not as bad as Final Desitnation 3 (which, I caught a couple of lines of dialogue, and jesus christ it's bad) or When a Stranger Calls, but you know, still kinda bad.

It seemed (From my memory) that the producers were the ones pushing for it, but the more artistic (damon, affleck-did I just call Ben Affleck artistic? ****, there goes my street cred, and Craven) were pushing for like WildCard or Hans Gubenstein. It probably was the right choice though, to go with Feast, because look at what has been doing great in teh box office. IT's a same they didn't release it in JAnuary, because I think people would've seen that over Final Destination with the trailer that we've seen.

I mean, I would have, but I forget that I'm way cooler than the general population. (I'm winking right here.)

I think Gulager would have done good with it. The trailer looks good. Some cheesy wannabe-Raimi moves but pretty good. And then there was all of the praise being sung about Gulager by Damon and Affleck and Chris Moore afterwards. I hope he did good, he probably deserves it after a career of wedding videography while aspiring to make movies.
 
No Feast is bad, period. Its badly written across the boards. Its not clever in an Evil Dead sort of way. I was horrified that was the script they chose. Dimension chose it because they thought they could make money off it and could market it, not because it was a good horror script. Wes Craven all but said it was garbage. It's a bad script....
 
Yeah, i do remember a line Matt Damon said during the debate:

"You have the master of horror movies (Craven) telling you it's a bad script and you still want to pursue it?"

Well, that disheartens me, but most people who watched it said it was pulled off. I think they did that on purpose just to make the show interesting---shitty script, good director?

its a wonder when movie get greenlit.
Click to expand...

The budget was $15 million and it's already made $42 million. Studios greenlight these movies because A)They're cheap to make B)no matter how moronic the film is, people will show up in droves to see it. Studios aren't looking to make great films, they are looking to make large amounts of money.
