Feast 3 - Yeah, kind of like Part II

If you like cheesy (and gory) horror then you’ll probably have seen the original ‘Feast’ film. It was nice and compact, with plenty of claret spewing all over the place, not to mention a few surprising moments which deliberately defied convention. Then came the second chapter, which did its best to ‘up the ante’ and be more outrageous and generally more violent. It succeeded, but somehow it lost all its charm.

‘Part III’ was made back to back with Part II and therefore feels exactly like the second half. Sadly, although it too contains extreme violence and black humour, it doesn’t compare to the original. Just like Part II, the characters are unlikeable, the monsters look like big men in rubber suits and the story sort of ambles from set-piece to set-piece.

When I’m the mood for a story like ‘Feast’ I’ll watch all three. Parts II and III have their moments, but the original was best and always will be. If you’re just a casual horror fan, stick with the first one and avoid the second pair.
