Feeders

About This Movie

Feeders (1996) is one of those oddities that just sits in your collection but demands attention in its own way. It’s about two friends on a road trip, but then things spiral into chaotic horror as they find themselves in a town under siege by aliens. The low-budget practical effects feel raw, which adds to the unsettling atmosphere – the aliens, with their bizarre designs, are pretty memorable. The pacing is a bit uneven, but that kind of adds to its charm; you get these lulls that build tension before everything erupts into chaos. The performances are a mixed bag, but there's something refreshing about their naivety against the backdrop of such bizarre threats. Going for that straight-to-video vibe, it captures a certain era of indie horror sci-fi that’s hard to replicate.
