Feeding the Masses Audience Reviews

Cathardincu Surprisingly incoherent and boring
Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.
Hayden Kane There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
Donald Seymour This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
DjfunkmasterG Indie cinema sometimes gets a bad rep because anyone with a video camera now thinks they are Steven Spielberg or Stanley Kubrick, I even say this about myself as I am an indie filmmaker as well.I have a huge love for zombie films. Those and Vampire flicks are about the only horror movies I enjoy and sometimes they can go very wrong when not treated with respect. I recently rented feeding the masses of blockbuster online and it arrived Yesterday in the mail so I popped it in the DVD player.I almost immediately turned this off when I watched the opening scene of a piece of meat being cut, and it had the "Video Look". I hate when people make indie films and are to cheap to fork up for at 24 fps Progressive Camera or at least use software to de-interlace the image. Thankful I waited it out and was glad to see a majority of the film was shot as I expected it would be (de-interlaced - no video look).Feeding The Masses suffers from a few problems...1. Budget - This could be argued for any indie film made for under $100,000, but this film had a pretty huge scope and I think they pulled it off pretty nicely with what little money they had, but you could tell the budget affected a lot of things in the film.2. Visual FX... I don't mind the occasional CG muzzle flash or bullet hit, but for the sake of all that is holy never try to create a huge explosion or fire with CG programs on a zero budget it comes off hokey, but I will say the CG work on the guns was very nice... the fire and explosions really made the film feel corny at times.3. Corny Commericals... The Party bus and reburial commercials were just plain stupid and really served no purpose, and really hurt the momentum of the film. When the film started getting really good these annoying commercials would come on and totally mess with the films feel. Bad choice.4. Acting - I only had an issue with the blonde female reporter, no one else.Feeding the Masses is a fun ride at times because it spoofs how the Gov't does one thing while completely doing another. I really felt it did nail some of the feel of how the current administration dealt with Iraq and how they would use subterfuge(sp?) to keep the public un-informed it was a great touch to the film.The story is a god story, it made me keep wanting to watch to see how it ended, and aside from the distractions listed above this film is pretty entertaining at times. If you do consider the film keep a few things in mind: A. This is down in the dirt low budget indie cinema.B. Don't look for any really outstanding performances or great film techniques.C. It is made for a zombie fan, and you have to have a true love for the genre to appreciate the work in the film.This is not a horrible film, nor is it a great film. It is a film shot on the digital video standard and at times has the Video look, and at times has a film look... however what it is is a decent way to blow 90 mins when you're really bored, and the nice part you won't walk away feeling cheated... I walked away feeling entertained.I give it a 6 out of 10 because of the issues I listed above, other than that It was good.
phildogger This is perhaps the worst attempt at a Zombie film I have ever had the misfortune to see. Terrible, terrible, terrible. Any review found on this site is obviously the work of either the filmmaker, the filmmakers family, or a friend of the filmmaker. How does this film suck? Let us count the ways...The plot? Incoherent. Dialogue? Atrocious. I will not slam the effects/gore, as I understand that this is low budget. But was there even one zombie that was not obese? C'mon! And for a film set in Rhode Island, why did that truck sport a Massachusetts plate? Continuity, find some.The Girl dancing while the soldier "Stands at attention". Please, don't put your ex-girlfriend or buddy's sister in your movie naked. This was an ugly movie filled with ugly people, and has no business even mentioning Romero on the cover. Next time you decide to make a movie, don't.
hate_mcangry Please, for the love of God, don't watch it. Now saying that, I know what you're thinking, it can't be that bad can it? If everyone says it as bad as they say, I have to watch it! Don't do it! It'll be like looking at a horrible accident involving little babies and a gasoline tanker! You'll be scarred for life...the image will never leave you! I could only watch a half hour of this before becoming violently sick. The acting is the worst I've ever seen, and I've seen Barbwire!!! If you do risk ripping your eyes out and rent this movie...don't say I haven't warned you! The cover and storyline are a trap!! Zombies? Satire? Shaun of the Dead was great! This movie must be the same....right? NO!! The writing = crap directing = garbage acting = there was no acting. Still not convinced? Then forever your soul will be tormented!!!
jaymz-15 The DVD cover claims to put it in a higher class than all three of the ROMERO classics. That's utter nonsense. They are either total liars or smoking some really good stuff. This crap should not have been released. And the acting was horrible also. No one can compare with George Romero and putting his name on the cover to give this waste of money credibility is a crime. Don't rent it. Don't watch it for free. Run as far away from it as possible. I know that a lot of ZOMBIE movies are not very good, But this one is the king of BAD ZOMBIE FILMS. See "Land Of the Dead" or "Undead". These are two new Zombie flicks worth your hard earned money.
