How sad is this?
Best movie of this year hands down!
This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.
View MoreOne of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.
View MoreDARK FEED is yet ANOTHER film set in an abandoned old psychiatric hospital with a disturbing past. The characters of the storyline are a group of film-makers shooting a low budget horror flick (hooray for self-referencing) who soon find themselves menaced by something much more real and disturbing. As the tagline went...who will survive and what will be left of them?The answer is not a lot, not that you'll care as this is strictly ordinary horror fare for the masses. DARK FEED is the kind of film that low budget filmmakers love to make, because it doesn't take a whole lot of effort or imagination or indeed talent on the part of the crew. The acting here is resolutely poor, the special effects limited, and the plotting almost non-existent.What we're left with are a handful of loosely connected scare and kill scenes, some of which are pretty gory by genre standards. In the film's favour, it does manage to summon up a couple of relatively intense and frightening scenes, like the hands coming out of the wall, but these tend to be loss in a jumble of the merely ordinary.
View MoreVery shocked at the bad rating this film has on here. Dark Feed I would argue, is a little hidden gem in a long list of generic slasher films. Compared to many, it has a lot more originality and suspense.I've watched so many of these types of films and many are forgettable, All the boys love Mandy Lane being a great example of this. By this I mean in that you've seen it all before, teens go somewhere get killed, blah, blah. This film though, has something about it and where it falls short of classic status, it makes up for in uniqueness.Dark Feed is a very darkly lit film and effects with torches and clever lighting, work so well in upping the scare factor. The environment, the abandoned psychiatric ward, is the stand out feature and is extremely creepy and unnerving. It therefore becomes almost like a prison and a tomb creating a kind of claustrophobia as the film develops.It scores higher on the eerie, suspense scale than on the kill scene one and this is where it has probably been marked down, by slasher film fans. I also have to say, I don't get all the negative bitching about the acting. It's not noticeabley atrocious compared to a lot of other films in the genre and so this is an unfair criticism.At the very least, I'd definitely recommend checking this film out. It gets a well deserved 7 out of 10, a cut above the average slasher film. Certainly remember the Rasmussen brothers, as these guys have some talent.
View MoreWell, I made sure I had an account just to review this waste. I sat and watched this whole thing from beginning to end. It has a few gore scenes but lack of everything takes away from it. A one-man cemetery has more plot than this film. How do I get time back from my life? Is there a time refund for wasting mine on watching this. I couldn't shut it off because I had hope that something would change. The description made it sound so good-but no it's not. I want my hour and 21 minutes back. Who do I see about that??? The actors were not even famous or well known so that should have been a sign that this was worthless, but hey, that is how you start and get noticed isn't it? Well they will continue to go unnoticed for taking part in this nonsense.
View MoreDark Feed has all the elements of a 'Sinister' 'Grave Encounters' & 'Insidious' but forgot one small thing: A set plot. Instead, it had 20 subplots with no clear goal. Yes, we get it, water filtration system is mentioned so many times I got the point by osmosis. So many of the characters had potential to be epic but none were given the staring role: the Producer is on his phone a lot but no reception, the grips & P.A.'s were losers but harmless, the special effects guy (who I think was voted off FACEOFF in the preliminary rounds for being a diva) is an artist on the edge. The Director is a flaccid and talented frustrated hack & the writer is has the personality of that guy who fixes your office copier machine. The 'Doctor' is so menacing from his black-mold covered painting but has no real role in movie & Beth (Victoria Nugent) who had a convincing and likable character discovered nothing, accomplished nothing, saved no-one & with the exception of opening 'one' book did nothing but carry lighting poles & wander almost the entire movie. Marissa (Dayna Cousins) is a fantastic actress but was give such a small role that the dog she was watching got more screen time. Rachel (Rebecca Whitehurst) got a good role to make her bones in movies but the script failed her. Enough about the characters, OK maybe just a little more. The movie Dark Feed starts off as a movie in a movie, warps into a possession/demonic/psychotics in an asylum and finishes as a weird zombie-Esq film. Oh then the editor Jessica (Jessica Lauren Napier, yes she didn't even get to change her name)decided she did not have enough screen time to get her SAG Card so she comes back at the end to off herself with office supplies.One final positive, Andrei (Jason Beaubien) and the direction that his character took is where the movie should have been focused. At that point I believe the movie could have saved it's self and then boom! he was gone. In conclusion, make this a movie that you and friends play a drinking game with, every time you or anyone goes "what"? or "WTF"...Drink.
