I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

The acting in this movie is really good.
Marva
It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,
Sarita Rafferty
There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

A screenwriter visits the set of his horror movie in an abandoned psychiatric hospital, where a dark force begins to create its own drama.Ouch! I gave this a shot because of some good recent IMDb reviews and the writer/directors also wrote The Ward, a passable hospital horror. Problem starts with the screenplay, which trowels on 20 different characters who get lost in a series of choppy, ineffective scenes. Most of the dialogue is pointless, failing to give impetus to the dark force, and the threat is confusingly both internal and external as ghouls creep out of the shadows and the cast goes insane. Plus they chose a really lame protagonist. Total mess and very hard to sit through despite the short run time.On top of that is the damn music. It's mostly simple, eerie strings and plinky piano - but it never turns off. Even when the odd dramatic scene comes along the dialogue gets swamped, and the music completely drains other scenes of their creepiness when silence is needed. Very close to hitting the eject button.Hard to judge the actors, because their characters were so badly drawn - a bunch of squabbling 13 year olds - and their lines were so pointless and lacking in intelligence or information.Camera was also poor. Lots of reflection on the lens and bad lighting of the actors.The story did develop pace in the end, but overall just awful. A much better film in this genre is Grave Encounters.

So low rated here on the bible of flicks so I wasn't sure to pick this up or leave it for what it was. And still it's a rare one to review because some will find it scary others will turn it off. For the usual viewer and not found of horror this might have some scary moments but for horror buffs this isn't going to be your thing because to be honest, it takes a while before things go wrong.We follow a film crew that is going to shoot a low budget horror in an abandoned asylum. Of course by now you do know that this isn't a good sign. And it isn't, slowly the building becomes darker and darker. It's never explained throughout the flick what the dark feed is. We do see pictures of patients been given the dark feed or fluid but for what reason is unclear. But it do takes over more than halfway this flick before the crew goes crazy. Some are out to kill and goes berserk, others harm their own body. Sadly all killings and bloodshed is done off-camera. There's even the girl with the big boobies which you know will show them only she has her shower scene but it's all filmed from behind so even there things go wrong. If you aren't into horror this will have it's scary moments like the elevator and the shower scene but as me, a heavy horror geek it looked like okay, you want to make a cruel horror but you also want teens to see it. So let's cut down on the gore and nudity and gives it a dark atmosphere. The dark didn't feed my hunger.Gore 0/5 Nudity 0/5 Effects 2,5/5 Story 2,5/5 Comedy 0/5

...as in the lighting, but all it feeds an audience is boredom, frustration--mostly in the form of numerous lovely women, none of whom reveal a significant inch of naughty bits, never mind the one who dies taking a shower; unforgivable in a make-work film like this--and did I mention boredom? Yes, I did, and that's what this quickie is all about: a few unfulfilled promises and tons of unrelenting boredom. The cast mostly sleepwalks through their paces, the direction is perfunctory at best, and as is always the case in misfires like this one, the script is leaden and uninspired. Who rationally puts up the money for pap like this, and why? Completely dispensable and as good an illustration of Sturgeon's Revelation as any. Do yourself a favor and avoid.

Dark Feed is one of those films that looks cool, so you keep watching because something amazing is going to happen, you can feel it
So you keep watching and waiting
and waiting
Until the movie is over and you're like, "Damn, where did the past hour and a half go?" Dark feed had all the cool lighting, sweet sounds, awesome camera angles and shots of a horror movie, but with no movie. I really wanted to like it, but it really had no story and really weak dialog. It almost felt like a reality show a times, where you're just watching people on a film set work and talk about everyday life. The last 20 minutes of the film started to get interesting but I also felt like it didn't really matter because 70 minutes before that made my brain shutdown. A very bleak horror film overall, but it had major potential to be something amazing
Unfortunately it fell flat instead. I gave it a 4 instead of a 3 because the last 20 was pretty decent.Please like me on Facebook! You can read more of my reviews and get info on the latest movies in horror: http://www.facebook.com/pages/I-Heart-Horror/338327476286206
