Aliens...you gotta love'em. They account for quite a bit of the horror movies we see. Alien,Predator,The Thing, Mac and Me...... you know real horror. Im a creature feature fan..guilty as charged but for the most part the creature feature list has not been very high until recently, which Im grateful of. One movie I had been keep my eye on was a movie called "The Feeding" which then changed its name to the movie Im doing my review on today "Night Feeders".

Night Feeders starts us off with some very unconvincing CGI effect sequence of a meteorite and a satellite in space. The meteorite ends up heading towards earth smashing into a small country area with hardly any civilians in site. After a brief sequence of people seeing it land and some people getting killed by the "somethings" from the meteorite we then get to our main story.

4 Guys on a hunting trip to this location find themselves not alone as the beasties try to kill them one by one. The movie has a running time of 85 minutes but if you cut out the credits at the end its more like 75 to 80 minutes which does not leave a lot of room for character development but they do a rather decent job for the limited time to get us to know the characters. However a rocket scientist you do not have to be to figure out the characters and what they are about.

The creatures and gore are what these movies are about and unfortunately things could have been better. The gore on display is OK but it really is more aftermath footage as oppose to actually seeing an arm or head being ripped off or a person being eaten by the creatures. Speaking of creatures remember I said there was a crappy CGI shot in the beginning, well we get a heavy dose of it in the creatures in the movie. Man are they bad!!! I mean Sci-Fi Channel Movie bad!!! I mean Playstation 1 bad!!! However when they are kept in the dark and in silhouettes they are rather effective.

If you can overlook the bad CGI and the sometimes annoying dialog this movie is not all that bad. It was entertaining and though I hated those effects (guys,next time man in suit,stop motion or puppets animatronic or otherwise) the movie really did hit all cylinders in the middle act. The ending was adequate and what I expected but I would have liked to seen how "The Boys" took care of business.

Anyway in conclusion Night Feeders is not a stinker and not a winner it floats in that average rating area. Kudos go to the story as it is quick and gets to the action as well as entertains but those crappy CGI effects and better gore sequences would have rose this to at least a cult worthy film. Take it for what it is though,a low budget sci-fi horror movie,and you will probably enjoy yourself more than most. If low budget horror is not your bag....SKIP THIS!!! 5/10: Average, nothing garbage (except the CGI) nothing great but fans of monsters and old school horror may enjoy themselves just keep your expectations low.

Four would-be deer hunters in North Carolina are irritated by alien "Night Feeders" who don't like light and look a bit like Gollum in the few scenes they are shown. The film has some comedy banter lead by Brett Gentile who acted like Paul Giamatti. Outside of their performances, the film was fair.

No swearing sex or nudity.

Reminisce of a Sunday afternoon sci-fi channel special NIGHT FEEDERS tells the tale of a small redneck town going through the motions; arguing with their wives over whether he should fix the car or her TV. He chooses the television to fix first if he values eating, according to her….Amidst all the hillbilly love a meteor has fallen from the skies and landed in the small one horse town. Doing what seems to be a normal occurrence for them a group of deliverance like guys head off into the woods for a little "R and R", but what they don't expect is the meteor that has landed on the town has brought someone with it…. Will the visitors overtake their town or will it be "Carolina BBQ at its finest"? NIGHT FEEDERS was a nice change of pace of a nightly movie viewing experience. Director Jet Eller put forth a lot of devotion and effort into making NIGHT FEEDERS one of the few independent sci-fi films to actually be worth while. There have been so many floating around that just do no justice for those involved. NIGHT FEEDRS is no such case. Sitting here typing up this review I honestly cant think of anything that bothered me about this film….The story was top notch and I must make note of how well Eller achieved in keeping me entertained throughout the film with his unique style of story telling. And I'd be a fool to not mention the performance of the acting, which surpasses that of a norm indie film. I thought there was a nice array of characters herein to make this a highly enjoyable movie. The performance of Donnie Evans was my favorite part of this movie. At one point he was trying to light the campfire and flamed it up to high grazing his face, asking "are my eyebrows still there??" Lines such as that throughout the film really added a different kind of vibe to this film making this one of my favorite Sci-Fi films ever seen. Kudos go out to Jet Eller and the amazing cast , led by Evans. Thanks guys; and it's Texas BBQ at its finest!!!!!!…….

I thoroughly enjoyed this movie. It was very nice not to see profanity or nudity in this film. However, I did enjoy the humor side of it. I thought the actors were fantastic. And with no profanity or nudity is a welcome change and very believable. The main actor/character, Donnie Evans/Donnie was so likeable. I am happy he survived and has a new female friend. Even a little romance in this movie. What's not to like. I particularly loved the ending where Donnie got his gang of friends with rifles and going back to kill the aliens who killed his friends. This film actually did have a happy ending. I look for more movies/films from Jet Elder.
