1.0 out of 5 stars
Are you kidding?, November 3, 2009
This review is from: A Feast of Flesh (DVD)
I'm a huge fan of low budget, even micro budget, horror. While this film certainly falls within that category, it is so completely lacking any other redeeming feature to elevate this to even 2 star status. There's enough other reviews that provide a plot synopsis, so I'll dispatch with that and get to the review. First, the movie features a brothel where the women are more than meets the eye. I've never been to a brothel, but movie and general lore have created an image where a brothel is staffed by physically attractive females. Whoever made the casting decisions in this film must be completely unaware of that general perception, and selected a group of females who physically could not be farther from the stereotypical female entertainer. In fact, the abyss separating the stereotype from casted reality was so vast to ruin this movie for me. If that were not enough, though, the rest of the movie is a letdown as well. The dialogue is annoying poorly written, and even more poorly executed. Scenes that should take 1-2 minutes drone on for 10 minutes with uninteresting characters sharing empty dialogue. Blah blah. Sorry, but this movie is not worth even renting. There's far too many good other options.

No food for thought..., July 26, 2008
This review is from: A Feast of Flesh (DVD)
What makes a B-movie hottie like Debbie Rochon lend her name--and a scant few minutes of screen time--to an amateurish, zero-budget, zero-talent attempt like this? Porcine scream-monger Amy Lynn Best serves up this vanity product with an extra helping of ineptitude, aided incapably by a few of her posse members. The story concerns a bordello of female vampires targeted for intervention by a group of well-armed holy warriors trying to rescue one man's loved one. This might have been cool in the hands of someone with more than a few bucks to spend. Every minute of this "film" is wasted with cheap special effects (is that Cherry Kool-Aid they're using for blood?), bottom-of-the-barrel editing and high-school caliber acting. No, sorry, that's an insult to high school students. Don't be fooled. The time and money you spend on this dreck will leave a sick feeling in your stomach.

Great fun, May 26, 2009
This review is from: A Feast of Flesh (DVD)
SPOILER ALERT: This another fun filled film by the folks at Happy Cloud pictures. Their first foray into the vampire genre and without most of the tongue and cheek humor that is in their earlier pictures. The film is ferociously original in the story concept breathing some life into the very tired vampire cliches. First off you have two warring parties stuck in a very uneasy truce. On one side you have a brothel run by a vampire clan feeding off of the unlucky customers. On the other is an apparent off shoot of the Irish Republican Army who are defending the local townspeople. The truce is simple, don't touch the townies and there will be no war. The vampires accidently break the truce and now there will be Hell to pay. Some of the original twists are that it is your belief (or faith) and not holy symbols that ward off the vampires. The leader (played by Mike Watt) is a believer in Christianity so those symbols are weapons in his hands. Another believes in money so his weapon is flashing the green. All in all probably one of the best vampire pictures I have seen in years and well worth buying.
