Mother Nature Strikes Back in ‘The Feast’ [Horror Queers Podcast]

Glass Shard.

April was such a blast on HQ: Trace and I tackled David Nutter’s Disturbing Behavior (listen), John Carpenter’s Christine (listen), as well as Jean-Pierre Jeunet’s 1997 film Alien Resurrection (listen).

To wrap up the month, we celebrated a belated Earth Day with a revisit of queer director Lee Haven Jones‘ The Feast (Trace reviewed it for Bloody; Joe wrote about it for his site).

In the film, Cadi (Annes Elwy) is a mostly silent young woman who serves privileged guests at a dinner party in a remote house in rural Wales. This includes MP Gwyn (Julian Lewis Jones), his entitled wife Glenda (Nia Roberts), their hyper-sexual son Gweirydd (Sion Alun Davies) and drug addict Guto (Stefan Cennydd).

As the evening progresses, however, strange incidents begin to occur that affects each of the family members differently. Who – or what – is Cadi and why is she doing this? And will any of the household survive the feast?

Episode 332: The Feast (2021)

Mind the glass shards and mushrooms because we’re talking Lee Haven Jones’ eco-horror film, The Feast (2021).

It’s a rare horror film in Welsh (apologies for any mispronunciations!) as well as a capital M message movie, but this one has grown on us since its festival circuit run.

Plus: colonizers, politicians and farmers, a slow burn en route to a Grand Guignol climax, and house porn…in the wrong way?

Coming up on Wednesday: We’re dipping back into Hannibal Lecter territory with a trip to Italy for Ridley Scott’s Hannibal (2001)!
