Feast 3: The Happy Finish (2009)

Feast 3 picks up directly where its predecessor left off. The remaining survivors of the monster attack are stranded on a roof top as a monster charges towards them. They survive and make their way to street level where they make a failed attempt at escape.

Luckily for them they are rescued by a mysterious self-styled prophet called Short Bus Guy, who seems to have the ability to control the creatures. Their journey then leads them to a karate expert by the name of Jean-Claude Seagal, and to the discovery that the monsters originate from a place called the hive. They decide to band together and attempt to find and destroy the hive and cut off the monster infestation at its source.

Feast 3 is the third, final, and definitely the worst instalment of the Feast films. Where the first two films succeeded in keeping the viewers interest, even if through spurious means, this third instalment is dull and ludicrous.

The characters in the earlier films were flat, stereotyped, and ridiculous. They still are, but now new characters are introduced which frankly are campy in a way that crosses the line into hard to watch. The monsters are still the same, but its the third movie and the same creatures chasing around a bunch of stupid characters spewing the same inane dialogue has become old by this point.

Actually Feast 3 feels toned down, particularly compared to its immediate predecessor. In all honesty, for this kind of movie to work it would have needed to outdo the first sequel but it falls short and becomes increasingly a caricature.

I would not call the finish particularly happy. The last few scenes wrap up the series in an abrupt and suitably senseless manner that at least helps to reassure the viewer that they have done their time and the Feast trilogy is complete. Giant robot... what the fuck?
