Review of The Feast

The Feast (2021)
6/10
Artfully disturbing folk horror.
21 November 2021
The story unfolds very slowly around a dinner party of an unpleasantly wealthy family and an awkward young woman who is hired to help cook and serve the meal.

Bizarre happenings involving the peculiar assistant, the food and the guests threaten our nouveau riche hostess's desperate plan to get her neighbors to invest in mining on their surrounding properties.

Nightmare fuel ensues.

This movie is not for everyone. Being in Welsh, the movie has this air of otherworldliness to it. The filmmakers let the visuals do a lot of the talking. And not much is explained in detail.

I enjoyed it for its atmospheric mystique and its ancillary exposé on the dangers of triathlons and heroin.
