The Feast: Release Date, Cast, And More
(Welcome to ...And More, our no-frills, zero B.S. guide to when and where you can watch upcoming movies and shows, and everything else you could possibly stand to know.)
Sometimes mother nature is a real mother. That's the premise behind "The Feast," a Welsh eco-horror that looks positively claustrophobic. The film's press release described it as "a slow burn meditation on history and tradition, greed and responsibility, identity and difference. 'The Feast' is a contemporary morality tale that questions who is truly meant to inherit the earth, permeated with a mounting sense of dread that leads to a horrifying, blood-soaked conclusion."
Sounds scary! Here's everything you need to know about "The Feast."

One of the guests plans on buying some of the nearby land for drilling, which upsets a neighbor who recounts fables about the land being cursed. "The Feast" is a slow-burn eco-horror that "merges woodland folklore and bloodthirsty revenge with Mother Earth as its reaper," according to our review from Matt Donato.
