After premiering at the SXSW Film Festival to a variety of positive reviews, IFC Midnight has picked up North American rights to the Welsh-language supernatural revenge horror The Feast, directed by BAFTA-winning television director Lee Haven Jones in his feature debut.
Rooted in the potent mythical fables of Wales, “The Feast unfolds over the course of a single evening as a wealthy family gathers at their lavish home in the Welsh mountains for a dinner party, hosting a local businessman and neighbouring farmer to broker a business deal to mine the surrounding countryside. When a mysterious young woman arrives to be their waitress for the evening, the family’s beliefs and values are challenged as her quiet yet disturbing presence begins to unravel their lives – slowly, deliberately, and with the most terrifying of consequences.”
The press release described the film as “a slow burn meditation on history and tradition, greed and responsibility, identity and difference,” further adding, “The Feast is a contemporary morality tale that questions who is truly meant to inherit the earth, permeated with a mounting sense of dread that leads to a horrifying, blood-soaked conclusion.”
Trace Thurman reviewed the film out of the SXSW premiere, writing that “The Feast is bloody good eco-horror.”
IFC Midnight will release the film Thanksgiving 2021, we’re told.
