Feast of Flesh, formerly known as Abattoir, is definitely one-of-a-kind. Though I always prefer Happy Cloud Pictures' horror-comedies, such as Severe Injuries, this more dramatic take on the vampire lore is fresh and features numerous solid performances from both newcomers and established actors. Mike Watt's dialog is sharp, and his stories always take the audiences in surprising directions that help to reinforce my belief that only independent filmmakers are making any worthwhile movies these days. There are also some very nice sets utilized throughout the film, including the beautiful home that is the central location of the film's action. Check out this film if you like vampire films and are looking for a fresh take on an old subject.

When Francis Ford Coppola was dreaming about a day when technology would be so democratized that everyone, everywhere would be able to throw their vision out unto the world, I'm damn sure he didn't have this in mind. This is basically an unappealing mishmash of UNDERWORLD and the soft core lesbian skin flick of your choice but minus the pyrotechnics of the former, the sex appeal of the latter and with the film making ineptitude of the borderline retarded applied liberally to everything in sight. Worthless even as a demonstration in What Not To Do When Making A Movie, the most frightening aspect of this atrocity is that not only do the producers have a follow-up waiting in the wings, but that it'll probably get distribution just like this.

Once again I have had the pleasure of watching another excellent film from the crew at Happy Cloud Pictures. Happy Cloud makes different horror films. They make films that make you think as well as make you laugh. This was the first attempt at a mainstream horror movie (their quote not mine) and they have hit a home run. The movie seems to have a simple plot in which a brothel is run by vampires and they can feed and turn whomever they want as long they don't harm the local inhabitants. This is enforced by what I can describe as an offshoot of the IRA (Irish Republican Army. Because of a mistake by the vampires this tenuous truce has been broken. Now normally you would think the vampires bad and the IRA good but it is far more complex. Instead both sides are bad and both sides are good at the same time. This the 3rd film I have bought from Happy Cloud and so far they haven't failed to impress me at ever turn. The other 2 films I have watched were The Resurrection Game and Severe Injuries. I know that their style isn't everyone's cup of tea but I have found the complicated mixture of humor and horror works very well. It's nice to see a "serious" horror film still add in the occasional light moment to make the story move along. I highly recommend you getting this title from Camp Pictures or from the folks at Happy Cloud.

Personally I have grown tired of vampire films -it's always the same old thing, so I was pleasantly surprised when I watched "feast of flesh" (aka abattoir) As mentioned in previous reviews, it's basically a broken truce between Vampire hunters and a vampire brothel. The acting is above average for a independent film, and so is the storyline. -there is a connection between story and actions -you'd think that'd be a must for any film, yet, if you watch most independent films these days, such a simple thing, as a solid storyline can be hard to find! I'd like to mention though, that despite it being a low budget film, it's quite ambitious and has a lot of originality, that will keep you interested throughout the film. I personally enjoyed this film, and would recommend this over Underworld _anytime_!
