Format:DVD
A great 3 disc box set featuring Director John Gulager's spendidly savage flesh eating creations.
Feast is a great opener where a group of strangers in an isolated bar come under attack from a group of killer desert dwelling creatures. In a fast moving first ten or so minutes the cast are introduced and promptly decimated by both the creatures and a series of self inflicted accidents as the cast shoot out at their fast moving attackers whilst dodging from showers of various nasty bodily fluids. Setting the scene for the rest of these movies watch out for a series of over the top grisly incidents and for boundaries of good taste to be set to one side as the group are whittled down and the survival instinct takes precedence over what's best for the group. It's over the top in the same way as The Evil Dead was and has to be seen in that light.
There's some great low budget special effects and fine performances by Henry Rollins, Clu Gulager, Balthazar Getty and several others that raise what could have been just another monster movie to something pretty special.
There's a fair few extras on this disc as well with a couple of documentaries, making of..., deleted scenes and bloopers.
Feast II: Sloppy Seconds is more of the same but Gulager ratchets up both the gore and bad taste to the nth degree. Our survivors make it to a nearby town and pretty soon some under attack from the creatures and three vengeance seeking female bikers. Throw in two midget wrestlers, plenty gratuitous nudity and some set pieces including one with a catapult and a splendidly tasteless one where one character who has no redeeming features at all seems to have rescued a baby from the creatures only for...no you have to see it. Please do not watch if you are in any doubt at all, even I winced but it just fits the general feel of the movie. Well done John Gulager for not copping out.
The Feast III disc features a couple of brief, but informative and entertaining documentaries as extras.
Feast III: The Happy Finish has the remains of our group joined by an odd prophet who appears to be able to control the creatures and a martial arts expert (Jean-Claude Seagal....nice) as they continue their fight for survival in the town sewers. Again the gore is well over the top and the boundaries of taste are stretched to breaking. The final scene is well in keeping with the series as a whole, albeit bang out of left field.
There are no extras on the last disc.
Together these three movies make a great collection that monster lovers with a liking for over the top tasteless scenes should love. It is a family movie package, albeit a Gulager family movie package, nice one John.

Format:DVD
I got this set not really knowing what to expect, what I got was: Humor, satire and gore in equal measure. The antidote to all those films with seemingly indestructible hero's and the "I know what will happen next" films. Good taste and story line are both conspicuous by their absence but somehow this trilogy is all the better for having neither. One of those rare films that is so mindlessly gross it is positively intelligent.
Format:DVD
I have just sat and watched all three of these movies in one go and it's been great fun.
Part 1 is certainly the best. Even though there are some great comedy moments and dialogue it is also very gory and well made considering the budget. The cast put in great performances and to be perfectly honest is a great stand alone film. Much better than a lot of stuff out there at the moment.
Parts 2 & 3 even though direct sequels which continue straight after the end of the first film with some of the same cast have a different feel to them and gradually become more bizarre. The last sequence especially will have you scratching your head (but laughing). Neither of these manage to be as good as the first part but are still great.
There are plenty of references to other films spoken or visually in all 3 parts especially parts 2 & 3 and whilst the first film generally felt like a scary horror with a few good jokes parts 2 & 3 had me smiling more and more (or wincing in good bad taste in a couple of sequences).
The extras are not bad but part 3 has none which is a shame. I don't know if this differs if you buy the films individually but for this price I would certainly go for the box set. At the very least buy Part 1 because that really is an excellent film in its own right.
