Marcus (Jared Cohn) has been a loser for all of his life, even steeping
so low as to try and rob his own mother (who isn't exactly a role model
herself to be honest) ... but now he thinks he has struck gold, as he
learns about a secret stash in the middle of nowhere, USA, where there are
no cops for miles, that he can get half a fortune out of. Now the map to
get there he gets from a fellow stoner reads a bit like a wild goose chase
for sure, but that doesn't keep Marcus from grabbing his girlfriend Stella
(Victoria Curtain) and going out into the wild ... with Stella's sister
Lydia (Ardis Barrow) on board as a stowaway. Everything should be easy
goings though, but things derail pretty quickly, and after an argument,
Stella hitchhikes a ride to return to civilisation just to be away from
Marcus. Now this is bad but not the end of the world ... but then the car
Stella hitched a ride with turns up stranded and its driver dead and
mutilated - and that is bad! And while Lydia is worried sick from
the get-go, it takes Marcus's drug-addled brain a bit of time to set his
priorities straight and figure it's Stella and not his stash of drugs he's
most worried about ... but by then it might be too late, as the area seems
to be inhabited by a bunch of cannibalistic warriors who hunt their human
prey to play with it, torture it, and then eat it - and Marcus and company
seem to be next on the menue ... Feed the Devil is
certainly not a movie for the faint-hearted ... and that's actually not
because over-the-top explicit - sure, it has got its gory scenes, and if
you're freaked out by decaying flesh and skeletons, then run a mile, but
the main "weapon" of this movie is its at times absolute
bleakness - it's just awesome in showing death as something final and
gruesome in a way few films have since the top of the crop of Italian
cannibal cinema from the 1970. So yeah, do prepare for some genuine
shivers, all packed into a cool movie though thanks to a well-structured
script, a directorial effort that doesn't give in to sheer sensationalism,
and a bunch of very cool performances. Again, not a film for everyone,
but a horrorhound is almost sure to enjoy this!
