The Feast

Somebody has watched to many artistic complementary trash, and tried to make a similar movie without any talent.

It's very slow, pointless monument of amateurism.

This is a poor man's "Antichrist" with a reversed message in comparison with Lars Von Trier movie. "Nature is satan's church" is the message of "Antichrist", whereas, the message of "The feast" is ecological.

A watchable indie art/horror, too slow at the first half. Second half is more intense. Good actors, good directing. Not very interesting.

I have watched much worse movies the last 2 years, therefore, i believe that a lot of horror fans will enjoy this. Welsh language is a beautiful language. But definitely, this is not a "must see" movie.

Fill your boots with a familiar tale of revenge and retribution that will satisfy most appetites built on justice and justness regarding the environment, especially if you're partial to a dash of Takashi Miike too.

I saw it Thursday night at MotelX.

At the closing session of MotelX, this film received the Méliés D'argent - Best European Feature 2021 award.

I understand the Jury's decision, as it is a film that brings together two strong trends in current horror cinema, Folk/Horror, with a story largely based on Gaelic folklore using Welsh language, and Echo/Horror in vogue for its role in social awareness of the climate emergency we are currently experiencing.

Forethoughts aside, it's actually a good movie with excellent cinematography, gorgeous footage, well-crafted with a captivating story in increasing tension and good straight, hard horror with well-executed gore.

Its negative aspects, in my opinion, are an initial narrative rhythm that is too slow and despite the good performances of the actors in general, some "overacting" in some scenes. However, i highlight it is a good horror movie that I recommend.

Even for a slow burn, the pace is super slow, as there is an absence of conflict for a big part of it.

The horror is all left for the end. Nothing wrong with that. I love films - like La Llorona - who did that and it worked. The problem here is that the film is so eventless in the first two acts that I wasn't interested anymore.

Interesting themes and some good bloody scenes.
