After premiering at the SXSW Film Festival to a variety of positive reviews, IFC Midnight 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. Today we’ve learned via IFC Midnight that they’re preparing to deliver The Feast in November.
The film comes to select theaters, Digital and VOD on November 19.
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.”
Bloody Disgusting’s Trace Thurman reviewed this one for us out of the SXSW premiere earlier this year, writing that “The Feast is bloody good eco-horror.”
Roger Williams wrote the script. Caroline Berry, Steffan Cennydd, and Lisa Palfrey star.
