Precisett This movie is magnificent!

Lumsdal Good , But It Is Overrated By Some

Console best movie i've ever seen.

Senteur As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

EcofinaMan Feeding the Masses is definitely one of the indie zombie flicks worth taking a look at. I have been privy to seeing a few gems, a few ghastly offerings and some worth while offerings.Feeding the Masses falls into the worth while category as it does try to bring a social message with it, but it tends to go off the deep end once in a while.From what I can tell the film was budgeted around $20,000 and it seems they tried to spend the money where it counted, but there is something this film lacks, lots of zombies.When I look at zombie films I want to see zombies , not just a cluster here or there, but an overall mass of rotting dead flesh engulfing the world one bite at a time.When it comes to zombie films they are never really about the zombies, they are about the characters, and zombies are just the background menace screwing up the works for everyone involved, however, Feeding the Masses uses not only the zombies, but the how the government is spinning the media frenzy surrounding the rising of the dead.One of the aspects I really enjoyed is how they delved inside the government control of media, it felt almost communist in nature, and I mean that in terms of how the filmmakers portrayed the response to the situation not that the filmmakers were promoting communism. Anyhow, the two single biggest problems I did have with Feeding the Masses was with the use of the CG explosion, and the horribly shot and put together commercials sprinkled through the film.Budget restrictions aside the film actually has a good story, but it does get lost when you look at the Video feel the film has, coupled with the cheesy CG. If those items could be fixed this would be a sure fire 7 or 8 on my rating scale.Worth a look for hardcore indie zombie film fans.

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.

movieman_kev Some news reporters and their military escorts try to tell the truth about a epidemic of zombies, despite the 'government controlling the media'. The makings of the film don't understand that the George Romero zombie films only worked because he kept his politics subtly in the background of most of his films ("Land of the Dead" withstanding). This satire is about as subtle as a brick to the face or a bullet to the head is more apropos for this scenario. What's subversive or subtle about seeing a military guy masturbating to death and destruction? Anything nuanced about the various commercials that are inter-cut with the film? Nope. Furthermore the acting is uniformly horrible, the characters thoroughly unlikable, and the plot inane. Add this all up and you have the worst, most incompetent zombie film since, "C.H.U.D. 2" reared it's hideous head.My Grade: D

lvis Indies, or independent filmaking, is an acquired taste. Lacking big budgets, big names, it is definitely a labor of love for the filmmakers, rather than profit-driven. As such, they are outside the mainstream society, if you will. It is precisely mainstream society in general, the news media more specifically, that is skewered. Using a zombie epidemic as a backdrop (caused by the aptly named 'Lazarus virus'), this film has a not-so-subtle take on the government and the media's responsibilities to it's citizenry. It has some genuinely funny bits, mostly tongue-in-cheek, such as how to deal with zombie attacks and more than one entrepreneur grasping the opportunity to make lemonade out of lemons. One brief scene even details the bland apathy and ignorance of today's youth. As with many indies, it's usually the acting that suffers. The exceptions are the main character, "Torch" and the newscaster. While not being magnificent, they are definitely passable. You can see that these actors are more accomplished, but are just not quite "there" yet. The story is good, and while not relying on the zombies, have a fair amount of gore. The camera work is good as well. The cinematography is better than most, not relying on a single theme, but incorporating some nice color palettes--actually reminded me a little of Argento's "Suspiria" at times. The "breather scene" was different. Normally where a long, slow sex scene is usually placed, the writer had a different take (for those in the know, the lava lamp should be your first clue).The extras on the DVD definitely gives the viewer a feel for what goes into an indie film. You can see the fun, spontaneity and resourcefulness of the players (think fire engine).All-in-all, a fun little indie film to "chomp" on.
