- TriviaAfter the film's wrap, no room was available in any of the production vehicles for the animatronic werewolf that was built for the film, to be transported back to Richmond. The actor that played the werewolf had to buckle the unit in a seated position in the passenger side of his car and was forced to put the convertible top down to make room for the large head which now peered over the windshield. This setup produced many interesting reactions from passing motorists on the long trip back to Richmond.

Featured review
Nice B-grade werewolf movie
"The Feeding" isn't that bad of a werewolf movie.
**SPOILERS**
A small town is being haunted by vicious animal attacks, and government agents Jack Driscoll, and Aimee Johnson, are called into investigate. Police Captain Cliver Burnell, is especially nervous to get the matter resolved, and decides to work closely with Jack and his team. Even though this interferes with the camping activities of friends Phil, Reagan, Elizabeth, Alan, Cynthia, Elle, and Ty, they decide to go camping anyway. As they continue hiking, they eventually come across a werewolf, the source of the animal attacks. As the two groups meet up together, they try to survive and figure out why the beast is attacking.
The Good News: As far as werewolf movies go, this one isn't as bad as it could've been. The creature is nice and vicious, and clearly has no problems being in that particular state, so it winds points with me for that. A feral creature is far more important in werewolf movies than anything else, and this one provides one of the most vicious. It's actually stated that it's gotten more vicious as the movie goes on, and judging by the impressive list of kills, it's true. It at first starts off with simple decapitations and broken necks, then moves on up to ripping out spinal columns and shoving it's clawed paw through a chest. That definitely opens the gore factor, and this one features enough to really call to gore-hounds. In addition, the survivors are completely drenched in blood at the end, and the wounds suffered to everyone in here is pretty graphic. Frankly, the most important aspect of this story is it's simplicity. It's not an overly complicated film and doesn't really need to be. It states what's wrong in the opening minutes, gives us the characters and goes from there. It's not overly flashy, it's not pretentious, it just gives us the goods and that's refreshing to find.
The Bad News: There's a couple things that need to be told. Firstly, the werewolf looks pretty terrible. The face looks nice and evil, but it's totally destroyed buy the total shod work done on the body and the fake-ness of the puppets used in certain scenes. The body of the creature looks exactly like extra carpeting stitched onto a costume to make it appear more wolf-y, but just makes it look like an incomplete costume. Too bad, cause at first, the face looked nice and terrifying. The fake-ness of the heard, though, is seen much later on when it gets more screen time. It just produces laughter more than anything. The one thing that I want to comment on is the scenes involving the werewolf. Whenever it's on screen, the camera shoots it in a hazy tint, making everything look unnatural and very distracting. When it's nice and crystal clear one moment, then it's hazy and incoherent the next is a big step and one that's quite noticeable. This is the sort of thing that can bother some and can call for it to be slammed unmercifully, but it was the main gripe I had against it.
The Final Verdict: So it's not the best werewolf movie ever made, it's not the worst one either. It's a no-brain-required gory ride that only has a major distracting technical decision to mare it from being a low-grade B-flick. If you can get past those kinds of issues, then it's a nice recommend for those interested or like vicious werewolves.
Rated R: Graphic Violence, Nudity, several sex scenes, Graphic Language and drug use
