I loved Feast... it was pure brainless fun, like Guy Ritchie directing a horror movie. Great one-liners, cool characters, gory and politically incorrect kills... and all this on an obvious tight budget. Anyway, they managed to make the movie work and not show too direct that there was not much money to spend.
Now with Feast II the whole opening sequence already put me off. It looks like a cheap road movie, the biker queen character is extremely annoying, so pretty much until all characters are introduced I hated this movie. Still I liked the black car salesman and the 2 midget Mexican wrestlers with their grandma got my hopes up... the scene where they flee naked out of their flat when their whore gets chomps is fun. But they don't manage to stick to these characters and rather go for some more over the top gore and shocks. In this movie you can see the monsters and they look cheap... but that didn't bother me. What bothered me most were the real fake blue screen effects and some of the bad CGI blood. Also the whole thing gets real disappointing when you got 2 midget wrestlers, a car salesman and his cheating wife + her lover, a gang of tough biker chicks getting naked and monsters impregnating cats and about anything that crosses their path... and they set for an autopsy that gets the whole staff covered in monster vomit, diarrhea and semen in an endless sequence. This is like the lamest fart joke I have ever seen.
Obviously they didn't know where to go with this movie... jumping from strange characters to horror clichés to extensive gore back to silly jokes and politically incorrect shocks. OK, chicks get beaten up and sacrificed to monsters, a baby gets chomped in a bad rescue attempt, a grandma is rotting alive because she was puked on and serves as a test object for a nice catapult... this is some of the fun highlights. But the story moves back and forth, neither Honey Pie in her hideout nor the Hobo in the jail everyone wants to reach from a roof (this was stolen from some other movie, I think Dawn of the dead?!?) make any sense. Come on, the movie just ends suddenly in a very cool credit roll and left me pretty disappointed ... even with the old cliché of someone considered dead waking up again before going to black (Hello... Feast III coming up soon!). This one works for a fun evening with some beers for the mentioned over-the-top scenes. But its by all means far worse than Feast I.
