Feeders (film)

Feeders is a 1996 American science fiction horror film written and directed by John and Mark Polonia[1] and Jon McBride.

A shot-on-video (SOV) film[2] made on a low budget of $500,[3] Feeders follows two friends, Derek (McBride) and Bennett (John Polonia), on a road trip; while travelling through Pennsylvania, the duo encounter small extraterrestrials who have landed on Earth in order to hunt and eat humans.

While at a gas station, Bennett meets a woman named Michelle, and sets up a double date with her and her friend Donna, Gordon's daughter.

Bennett hears the sounds of the aliens growling in the woods, and after he and Derek observe a flying saucer in the sky, they decide to flee the area.

Derek flees on foot back into town, as several more flying saucers converge on the Earth in a widescale alien invasion.

"[4] In 2000, Richard "Lowtax" Kyanka, creator of the website Something Awful, referred to Feeders as the "Worst fucking movie you'll ever see," writing: "Even if this film had a new director, cast, budget, script, plot, and special effects, it would still suck.

If you were to place this movie within 50 feet of a really good video, it would actually create a suck vacuum that would cause the other film to become unbelievably shitty.

"[9] Kyanka offered an invitation for McBride and Mark Polonia to respond to the review, which they accepted; their response was published on Something Awful in 2003.

[3] Reviewing Feeders in 2004, Bill Gibron of DVD Talk called the film "dopey in that kind of pure honest desire to entertain manner of mischief that flows directly from a love of bad b-movies", and referred to the aliens as "absolutely hilarious and ridiculous".
