The bartender, having been presumed dead of a heart attack at the end of Feast, turns out to be alive and is picked up by an all-woman biker gang. The bikers are out for revenge after one of their ilk, Harley Mom, was used as bait by survivors of the monster attack at the bar in the original film.
The bartender leads them in to town in search of the one survivor who was involved in the crime. But instead of finding the culprit, they find that the monsters have multiplied and have spread into town, killing most of the population.
They meet an assortment of survivors including a pair of little people wrestler, a car salesman, his wife, her boyfriend, and others. One can imagine the group dynamic. Now they have to work together to survive the monsters and avoid killing each other in the process.
Feast 2 has no particular cinematic value in terms of cinematography, plot, dialogue, acting, or message. What it offers something is an hour and a half of a world where nothing is sacred.
We've got profuse violence and nasty gore (though not particularly realistic), people getting covered in all manner of monster goo, a particularly troubling scene of a baby being killed and eaten, people being flung across roof tops by catapults, you name it. That's not to mention abundant nudity. In fact, the film makers actually managed to write in an excuse to have two brain meltingly beautiful female characters spend the final half hour or so of the film topless.
There's plenty of action, gore and cheese to go around which is what helps to keep interest because there is little in the way of frightening scenes, or suspense. The goal here seems to simply be to shock and in that respect this 97 minutes of pure exploitation and objectification is probably very successful. In other respects, not so much.
1.5 baby dinners out of 5
Rated R for pervasive horror violence and gore, disturbing images, crude sexuality, nudity, language and brief drug use
