Feed the Devil

This was a mess of non-sensical disjointed stuff. There is no story to speak of and not even an attempt at acting. Someone wanted to make a movie about survival in the woods against I guess was a "somewhat supernatural" entity. Their hero however was the one that was supernatural. He is a total unlikable jerk that gets impaled multiple times, stabbed and beaten various times, and I think his tongue got cut out. So, he gets all these mortal wounds, but just shakes them off, spits up blood like Bruce Willis and keeps going. Nothing in this makes any sense, especially the ending.

Wannabe drug dealer Marcus (Jared Cohn), his girlfriend and her sister go looking for a crop of marijuana that they have been told about in the Alaskan wilderness but when they get there they encounter evil supernatural forces. The UK DVD promises so much, somebody rating it a 9/10 movie, blah, blah, blah but watching this was a miserable experience. For a start Marcus is such an unlikable character, every other word is the F word, this quickly become tiresome. The acting in the movie is terrible and I gave up trying to fathom out the mess of a plot. There are a few gory bits and the scenery is nice, otherwise I would advise avoiding this turd. Utterly terrible.

I saw new added to Hulu so I figured I would give it a watch. That was a mistake (I hate misleading cover art). Well I was bored with it about 1/4 of the way through and just forced myself to watch the rest. It remained constant boring, no real excitement, no real story to speak of, and the acting was sub-par at best. This was obviously a low budget film that did not use that budget well. I would have given this film a rating of one, but the scenery and location shots were at least good.

First, I don't see how anyone would have though that such a offensive movie toward people who land was stolen and almost exterminated was a good thing. Then you have the biggest loser around, surviving more than five minute under those conditions. I would have liked this movie a LOT better if the main character hadn't been such a loser. Yeah, sure, a very lousy low level city crook, who gets beaten by his own alcoholic mother, that was in a drunken stupor before beating the guy with a bat, would somehow survive mosquitoes. This movie makes the horror genera even more idiotic than it usually is. (And I'm a horror movie fan.)

Sadly not the best of Horror flicks. Although it is very well shot and quite atmospheric in its cinematography the story doesn't keep the viewer engrossed. The beginning is pretty standard and offers the glimpse of an exciting and rip-roaring tale of universal justice for those who dare follow the wrong moral path; however, we follow three unlikable people on their horrific journey. This is not as entertaining as it could be In many ways. The pace is incredibly slow with absolutely nothing to draw the viewer into the story. As is often the case with many of these films, the lead is such an unpleasant person you really don't care if he escapes or not. The ending was also rather unsatisfactory.
