Flesh Feast 2001 Horror Movie Review

>I tried hard to take this psuedo-scary flick seriously but alas, it is so far/fetched and campy-that I finally was doing little more than half smiling at it’s tackinous; asking myself the age-old question,“Why did they ever make movies like this?”!!! It could’ve been a lot better with {just} a tad bit more budget allowing for an upgrade of props, improved lighting and a cast with less put on accents of foreign nature; with an ameliorated script containing more punch.

>It’s as though many lines are flubbed and just left in as is-per/diem, giving the viewer a sense of immediate distaste for the cast in general, including the star, Veronica Lake, who at very first glance appears wicked and detached from all that is around her; including the world in which she currently lives-except for the one she has created down in the basement of her Miami home that looks like little more than a space containing a ‘junior scientist’s lab starter kit’ fresh outta the nearest dime store. With a bit more effort and a less gruesome nature, ‘FleshFeast’ might have served as the impetus for Veronica Lake’s long/awaited comeback, that for reasons obvious in this film-was alas never to be as sadly, her character in this stale flick shows absolutely no redeeming qualities, leaving the disillusioned viewer wanting for a better actor who could have brought at least some semblence of life to this ego-driven maniac so surrounded by the celebration of death and human debris. The one character that is likeable, the young brunette nurse capable perhaps of being the film’s heroine is instead wasted in a badly done scene-where in which a revitalized Nazi shamelessly attacks her brutally when she refuses his demands for sex and is subsequently strangled on a bed in an upstairs room within the Florida mansion that houses this entire awful nightmare. 

>My opinion of ‘FleshFeast’ is that it is an all/around bad movie that could’ve been done much better with a few changes made in the casting and script, makeing for a window of opportunity through which Veronica Lake might have somehow or other-found the propulsion necessary for jumpstarting what had become a stale, hasbeen career…Unfortunately, in ‘FlashFeast’, she neither comes across as vital OR necessary.
