Rent The Feast (2021)

Slow build, sensual delight, gory - The Feast review by PT

A slow moving delight, if you like left field.

Sensual, visually attractive, soundtrack is beautiful (love a bit of Vivaldi me ).

Plus gets gory at the end, proper slasher.

Beautifully portrayed by Annes Elwy, the rare moments when she's let's emotions through are shocking, very well timed to disturb.

In Welsh, so subtitles for me.

PS to the person who fast-forwarded, perhaps you missed the point?

Annoying boring and forgetful. - The Feast review by AK

No reviews because not worth bothering about. Another BFI-funded film which on the surface is a cliched environmental horror film but got funding because it's in the Welsh language. Probably why it got publicity, not because it's any good. Can't remember how I got to know about it. Don't like to be cynical but...really? This is the new British talent.? Full of unlikeable characters and stupid actions. Greedy exploitation of land agenda. Had to fast-forward most of it and saw every cliche. Have to be very careful with love film selection as in other streaming channels you can just stop watching. Hard when you've paid for your allocation of films per month.

Gwledd - The Feast review by NP

This is a Welsh-language rural folk horror which, as the title suggests, focuses on the (very) slow build-up to, and commencement of a much-anticipated dinner.

Annes Elwy stars as the central character Cadi, and yet she spends most of the first three thirds of the film very much on the periphery. Her humble, freckled features are markedly different from rest of the sleek, chatty ensemble. Much is made of the atmospheric sense of isolation of the house, but any suggestions of horror are few and far between. My advice would be to stick with it, because things become surprisingly nasty as they progress – with the finale jarringly uncharacteristic of the previous 93 minutes - but we have to wait for it!
