Why am I even here expressing my opinion on this movie as it is as pointless as watching this movie? The movie left a blank trail in my mind, absolutely not moved with me at all. That particular feeling about the overall atmosphere of the movie reflects my score not the fact whether I liked the movie or not. I liked certain aspects of the movie (the psychological aspect) while simultaneously hating the other (the premise which was plain simple dull). It's just the amount of things from the latter category was *slightly* higher.I tried not to take the movie seriously, just switch off my brains and let it take me to an eighty minutes journey but instead it just took me to the woods and that's pretty much it. I hate the woods. It's like if the producers intended this movie to be an anti-organic food propaganda that will make you hate anything organic because the movie probably makes you associate it with an arrogant psychopath with unresolved issues from childhood, or that's what they believe. The cook wasn't one, you know, but the storyline pretty much turned him into one. I guess the director didn't really have a clue how to conclude the movie leaving you (and the director) pretty much confused. But what did I expect, Hollywood blockbuster type of three dimensional story? Michael Bay? The movie promised a bitter feast and I (expletive) got my bitter cold feast so maybe I should give it ten stars instead. As you see ratings are very arbitrary and relative.I would go even further to expand on the variety of topic this movie points at, like all media-approved and supported society faults, consumerism and all the like blah blah, all of it to justify "snap outs" but all aforementioned examples were presented in a very shallow manner and don't mean a thing.(SPOILER) WHY even make JT Franks' wife a victim when she had nothing to do with that? Why that scene with her taking a bath trying to make a suspension out of nothing make it look like some kind of horror when the scene did not fit the movie's pace at all? Completely pointless scenes just for the sake of the genre only. That's not how I like my movies. (/SPOILER)The power of internet 2.0 is way too strong to be extinguished which would reflect the humorous side of the movie basically telling that everyone is and can be JT Franks when they write a displeasing comment and some people 1,000 miles away get upset to the point of desiring to murder you. Is that the green light for you to make a movie? A short story on paper yes, movie? Don't do that.I am amused at the glimpse of thought of producers of this movie going on a killing spree targeting everyone on the internet who gave this movie a bad review (Daniel Rodrigues, Paul Andrews, Boptrax, TrukDrivr, slatromhsiloof I'm looking your way). Now THAT should be the sequel about.

I dislike "blood and guts" movies, and only saw this one because I was channel surfing, thought it was about a guy and his cooking show, and was drawn in by the time I realized its genre.For a low budget movie, I'm surprised at how good the lead actors were, and that even though both characters were impossible to like, they had strong chemistry together and there was palpable suspense over what would happen next.Surprisingly, the dialog was well-written, and there was some very dark comedy in there. The tasks that the captor demanded were not complicated nor incredible, but rather simply creative ways to make the critic "eat his words." Some of the negative reviews in here lament that there was not enough blood and/or guts/gore, but there was enough intensity and thrills created, without having to show every bloody detail.I found this to be a suspenseful, well-acted independent film.

It's nice to see a horror movie that is not a hollowed out skeleton of mass produced clichés; and how many can boast Mario Batali as a cast member (I'm not saying he was awesome).James LeGros had his acting mojo going on many years ago. If he was in it then I was fairly confident that I would like the movie or could at the very least depend on a good performance from him. Somewhere along, he seemed to have hit a rough patch and each movie was a crap shoot.I am happy to say that he is back. I had a warm fuzzy feeling in a cold bloody horror movie.Bitter Feast is more psychological than the average horror flick, but it has nice undercurrents and satirical commentary on society today.It's a good day when you turn off the movie and wonder if you can find another one just like it...not perfection, but very satisfying.

I have no idea how anyone could possibly say anything good about this crap movie. I'm a B movie fan and not even I could stand this yawn-fest. Totally predictable and you knew what was going to happen 10 minutes into the movie. You just had to sit, *yawn* and try to stay awake for the next hour or so until it came about. No surprises here. Same old, same old, except with nothing to keep you awake or keep you from shutting it off and completely forgetting it. There Is Nothing Even Mildly Interesting About This Lame movie. The dialog is dull and predictable. It drags on so slowly, for so long, and the characters are so idiotic and shallow that you don't care who lives, who dies or what happens to them along the way. You just want them to all s.t.f.u and die already, so this slow, boring movie can be over with!"Bitter Feast" is one of those waste-of-your-time movies that deserves a negative star rating.
