It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

This is ultimately a movie about the very bad things that can happen when we don't address our unease, when we just try to brush it off, whether that's to fit in or to preserve our self-image.

The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

Are you looking for a movie where nothing happens?Seeking one of those group of 20 somethings go somewhere and bad things happen to them but don't want any actual content or unpleasantness like you know......deaths?If you answered yes to the above questions then Feeding Grounds may well be what you're looking for.Now Braindead studios movies are hyper low budget films and generally pretty poor, over the years they've made wall to wall horror films usually with T&A to keep peoples attention. Lately however the last few movies I watched of theres didn't even have that.It tells the story of 8 20 somethings who go into the desert and fall foul of something, I say something because it's never explained and you don't see jack. They begin to get ill, turn on each other and that's basically the movie.Slow paced, full of wretched characters and with ultimately nothing happening this is one of the worst Braindead features I've seen.The Good:Has its momentsConcept isn't entirely terribleThe Bad:Inbalanced audioUnlikeable charactersAmateurish cover artThings I Learnt From This Movie:The number of fond memories I have of early Braindead movies maybe the same as the number of nipples on display

1st watched 9/5/2011 – 7 out of 10(Dir-Junior Bonner): Effective scary movie that starts off looking pretty run-of-the-mill with a lesbian couple being the first victims in an initially sub-par looking killer movie. Next, there is a group of young folk heading off to a vacation destination and you know they are going to come upon the same fate. What sets this movie apart from others of the like is that it keeps you guessing to the very end and beyond as to what or who the killer is. The characters, although they are typical horror-movie types, don't do stupid things at stupid times – which is the norm for most movies of this genre. The movie, also, does scare you like it is supposed to. The attacker seems to have a way of infecting the victims first and making them sick and weak – which makes them ripe for the killing. In the background, occasionally you hear a radio broadcast where they are discussing unexplained disappearances – which gives you more data to help the viewer question what is really happening. Even when the movie is over, you really don't know what the victims have faced and to me that is good filmmaking. Otherwise, it's a pretty basic scary movie -- but it is pulled off well by the directors, writers and actors and it puts a nice twist on the genre that really works well once the movie gets rolling.

If I could give this a -1, we would be in the ballpark. First review for a movie online ever. It was very special indeed. Please for the love of all that is holy, if you like horror, b horror, bad movies ala mystery science theater do yourself a favor and save yourself the time. A few of the women were mildly attractive, other than that, absolutely no redeeming qualities what so ever.All of the other reviews I've seen say something positive about the "film", which is why I had to write this. The acting was non-existent. As was the cinematography and special effects. I'm at a loss for words as to how to describe how unbelievably cheated I feel of my time here.and you are welcome. Have a great day, hope you got to this before watching the movie, provided you could sit through it.

Two cars full of twenty-something friends head out for an excursion into the desert, passing many abandoned cars along the way. Little do they know their own cars are about to be abandoned as well...Feeding Grounds is ultimately a frustrating film. As viewers we don't get a single glimpse of the creature(s) who have entrapped the characters. (Unless you count one clawed hand.) It seems the characters are drugged and confused by their attackers, for they continually turn off of the highway onto the same dusty road, and some seem to hallucinate. But your guess is as good as mine, if you dare to watch this film.The acting is, for the most part, well above average for a low-budget film. Special effects are sorely lacking, except for a few bits of gore. Only the occasionally artistic camera shot kept me from falling asleep.If you like watching college kids bicker, and hate the sight of monsters, this is the movie for you.
