Bitter Feast could have packed a satirical punch. Go to Full Review
Paul Brunick New York Times 10/15/2010
1.5/4
Beyond its creepy back story, the horror in this morally confused and cinematically inert film is entirely nominal. Go to Full Review
Mark Olsen Village Voice 10/12/2010
Zesty fun for its actors, Feast is at once a sly parody of the celebrity-chef culture spawned by all the cable cooking shows and competitions, and a creepy little chamber-piece. Go to Full Review
Scott Weinberg FEARnet 01/09/2011
4/5
A low-budget, well-paced, impressively performed and quietly engaging indie horror flick. Go to Full Review
Felix Vasquez Jr. Cinema Crazed 01/08/2011
A tasty dish that puts both sides of the critical world under the microscope... Go to Full Review

Bisquiteen T @RT65021124 10h Yeah, it's a nutty premise, but it's very well executed. Both of the leads are great (Jack Tripper-faced guy and Aaron Stampler-faced guy), the dialogue is superb, and I thought the cinematographer made some really interesting choices (in the woods, with the eggs). Yeah, "dude with nothing left to lose goes apesht" is a pretty hackneyed trope at this point, but hey, what are tropes for if not for someone to have a fresh and interesting take on them? It's also a sign of good writing that you can take two insufferable people and make them watchable and defensible in their own ways. The PI storyline was quite tedious, and the actor (or writer?) did not succeed at making an insufferable character interesting in any way as with the leads, but fortunately we didn't have to endure him for long. The wife was eh, the ending was meh. Just fumbled it. Much more interesting before she showed up. All in all though, I was surprised to see a movie of this quality on Tubi. Pleasant surprise for once!

Definitely worth a watch! See more Ian H @Howellsey 01/03/2025 Very enjoyable and based on a premise we can all get behind!! See more 01/24/2021 Went in with very low expectations, but this was actually quite entertaining, albeit with very few real twists.
