  Review by kennelco ★★ 1

  Night Feeders is kind of a low budget backwoods Pitch Black (2000) in which a group of photophobic aliens torment a bunch of deer hunters. It’s 2006. In North Carolina. Only one dude has a cellphone.

  Really, it’s not an entirely bad enterprise.

  Its real failing winds up being the digital FX, on which I am guessing the whole thing was predicated. Those bits and bytes are only a notch or two up from the work in Birdemic (others aptly compare the stuff to Playstation 1.) Frankly, it would have been a lot more charming without the digital FX at all and more limited practical effects.

  I say this very specifically for this movie, though Christ, I could say it about virtually all movies made in this century.

  “Hey you don’t know. This perfume could have saved my life!”

  Still, hats off to regional horror on the cheap in any era.

  Review by strongboy ★★★½ 8

  This is a really fun alien horror indie film about four friends on a hunting trip, who have to survive the night when they are attacked by vicious alien invaders.

  This film is very entertaining, and a lot of that is due to the cast. The four friends have great chemistry together and really get into it. Looks like they had a lot of fun here with some good, humourous back-and-forth banter and some nice action beats. The story is decent too and has a good pace with plenty of thrilling moments and some nifty cheap special FX stuff. The aliens are mainly CGI, but they are menacing, creepy and effective monsters, and there's some decent practical gore FX stuff too.

  I'd definitely recommend you check this one out if you're looking for a good low-budget alien horror film.

  Review by Joachim Andersson ★★

  Low budget scifi horror about rednecks hunted by aliens coming out of a crashed meteor. Manages some decent tension and atmosphere but suffers a lot from abysmal playstation 1 cgi and uneven actors. You also get the feeling that the original movie was too short, there is at least twenty minutes of stuff thst feels like it was shot long afterwards. Seen worse I suppose.

  Review by Arkham Knight Rider ★★★★

  “Sounds like hundreds!”

  
  I can’t deny that this is not really good per se. It’s cheaply made schlock with no real intelligence or anything close to substance. 

  That being said, it’s surprisingly much better than i remember. Yeah the CG sucks, but the filmmakers for the most part knew how to light it to where they don’t look that bad. Plus, there seems to be enough care to have them properly interact with the actors and have scene with numerous alien creatures. 

  What really saves this is the characters. They are all actually either engaging enough or extremely lovable. Plus it takes some cool paths in the third act with them that I was very pleasantly surprised by.

  In the end, it’s a silly monster movie, but one I absolutely enjoyed for the most part. It’s not amazing or incredible, but still a great time regardless.

  Review by evil ★½

  The night before I saw "Night Feeders" I ate a plate of Frank's Red Hot chicken wings. As I approached this movie's riveting finale, those wings decided to claim their revenge. Anyway, the point is I watched the last few minutes of this movie in an appropriate location.

  Review by COCAINEBEAR1 ★★★½

  I am legitimately surprised how much I liked this movie. I mean, it's really cheesy and the CGI is not good by any means, but that's kind of what I expect and like about a weird sci-fi horror movie. I had a lot of fun watching this. What really makes the movie for me is the main characters. They have great chemistry and genuinely act like real friends. That aspect of healthy male friendships is always great to see in a movie (other examples of that in horror include The Exorcist III, Leprechaun in the Hood, and more). They act like real people who struggle to survive as they do what they could to fight back against the monsters. Though…

  Review by John ★★

  4 deer hunters get stalked by aliens that apparently arrived via a meteor crashing into a pond.

  Ugh... another one of those horror movies that gets filmed at night so while it does add to the atmosphere (and saves on the budget), you can't see a damn thing. The aliens, when you do finally see them, look a bit like Sableyes from Pokemon. Precious little gore and all of it after the fact (e.g. yelling and then a bloody stump shot vs. watching an arm being yanked off... another way to save money and actually preferable to bad CGI) Totally indifferent to the characters so it was hard to really feel anything about who survives and who doesn't. Not a terrible film. It looks like it was made with good intent. It just wasn't my thing.

  Review by ExistentialJeny ★★★

  Not half bad for an amateur-style formulaic horror thriller about a group of guys in the woods being hunted by aliens. The music & sound affects were thrilling, the camera work wasn't "bad" & the ending looked ready for a sequel. Better than I was expecting anyways.

  Review by BigDaddyCool81 ★½

  I’m in a difficult position when it comes to reviewing low budget horror films like this. On one hand I applaud the fact that films like this are still being made, independent of big studios dictating every single move. There’s a certain charm to them because they’re usually made by fans for fans or at least contain some degree of love for the genre somewhere in the crew, be it the writers, special effects guys or cinematographers. And if it wasn’t for guys cutting their teeth in films like this, then there wouldn’t be anyone to ‘progress’ to making bigger budget films. Peter Jackson is the best example of this. However on the flip side, these films are usually so…

  Review by Kevin Cormier ★½

  Man eating aliens crash land in the countryside and its up to a small group of hunters to face them head on.
  Decent idea, but with very little budget and a horribly written script, this is a good one to skip.

  Review by Cheeks DaBelly ★★★½

  As soon as the movie starts you know you are in for a B, no wait make that a D-Movie, maybe even a Z-Movie. Now that doesn't automatically mean it's a bad movie you just have to know what you are getting into and know what to expect. Which usually means nothing much. Mediocre acting, no expensive special effects or big named stars. At least no big named stars in their prime. Here's the premise: Four redneck deer hunters encounter carnivorous aliens in the remote North Carolina woods, which means we get good old southern boys asking questions like "Are there snakes in these woods?" to which his buddy answers: "No, they give them the weekend off here.". Ahhh a…
