Feed the Gods (2014)
5/10
Solid, earnest effort from everyone in a pleasant, forest-monster flick
13 September 2022
If you've seen the box cover, or read the title you know what this is about. There is a monster(s?) in the forest. How many will be killed? Very straight forward premise.

I love movies filmed in BC because everything outdoors is beautiful, and I get to see what my Stargate secondaries are up to post-Stargate. So the setting is beautiful. It is filmed well, with proper sound throughout. The acting is pretty god, and everyone is putting in a good earnest performance.

In terms of plot, I have to be honest that I don't think I understood the logic behind everything going on (tickets? Origins? Myth?) but even just understanding the basics, it is very formulaic. I very much hated the characters and did not find them credible, until two brothers, while having a proper fight about their deceased parents said "I'm sorry. I didn't hear you over your steroid-jacked body." and the other replied "THIS IS NATURAL!" For whatever reason, that joke won me onboard completely and for the remainder of the film.

It really wasn't bad overall. I would see it again. Very average, in a good way. Not bad at all.
