Critics Consensus

Traditional horror may not be on the menu, but for fans of the gruesomely disquieting, The Feast more than lives up to its name.

Anton Bitel

Sight & Sound

...offers a feast for the eyes while accommodating more than one interpretation. For this is all at once environmental fable, anti-colonialist allegory, and Hanekean portrait of a family undone by its own errant appetites and all-consuming greed.

Observer (UK)

It avoids jump scares in favour of a long, slow build of tension – so slow that at times the characters appear to be in the grip of a kind of paralysis – that pays off with an explosively grisly final act.

Rated: 3/5

Flick Feast

Welsh-language horror Gwledd (The Feast) doesn’t just find the grotesque in everyday items and actions – it absolutely revels in it.

Até poderia ser alguma coisa se o roteiro tivesse alguma linha condutora. Tudo muito aleatório.

Or course we can’t expect this movie to be a classic american horror piece with every detail explained and not leave anything to imagination and analytic thinking, but it doesn’t mean that because the movie is theatrical and philosophical its a good watch, I enjoy european horror movies and admire them in many ways but this one wasn’t for me.

Warning: light spoiler ahead. It's so irritating how many idiots rate a movie poorly just because every detail isn't spelled out for them. It's literally based on the concept of Gaia inhabiting a human vessel in order to punish a toxic, destructive and hedonistic family.

Tries to be intelligent, but fails. Horrible on every dimension.

I slept on it after watching last night. Upon reflection, was actually a very interesting and unique story. However, it's extremely difficult to sit through. I can mind the slow burn pace. However, it gets a little to weird and art house for me at the end when all hell breaks loose. Had I rated it last night, it would have been worse. However, story was good. I just wished they could have executed things a little differently around the finale.
