First of all, let me say that I am by no means in love with this movie, but in the face of the sheer number of awful reviews I just have this to say: it's not that bad. Sure, for every movie on IMDb you'll see at least one person going on and on about how it's the "worst movie" they've EVER seen. In point of fact those people don't usually know what truly bad is."Feeding The Masses" is definitely worth the watch if you're into the zombie/comedy genre. Yes, it has it's problems. It's an indie flick shot on a low budget. The story could be a bit stronger and the effects could have been quite a bit better (although they're reasonable given the budget). All in all it's a decently humorous zombie flick with a tiny bit of heart...even if it is introduced a bit too late in the movie. Yes, it's got it's flaws, but that doesn't make it the "worst movie ever". Hell, you're lucky if this is the worst you've seen.
... View MoreSet in Providence, Rhode Island, Feeding the Masses tries to be a satiric look at the role of the media in government. At best, it could be applied to how the US try to control media during the Iraq War, but it ends up feeling hollow. There's never any really tension in the story and the acting never very good. Worst, the direction of the movie is atrocious, focus more on odd camera angles that fail to convey anything beyond "Isn't this an odd way to hold the camera." Special effects are pretty bad...at one point video of an explosion is green screened over the city, and it's laughable at best.The film does have a couple bright spots...namely the advertisements for post-zombie services (including a reclamation service and a party bus). But it's far too little to make the film worthwhile.For a better zombie film, try Hide and Creep. It has the same weak production value, but there's much more wit, humor and talent behind it.

George has, on numerous accounts, made fun of reviewers of his dead films that said that the social commentary was subtle. Kev Keefe asked "What's subversive or subtle about seeing a military guy masturbating to death and destruction?" referring to FEEDING THE MASSES and I ask him what's subtle about a black man being shot in the head by a redneck (notld) or mindless zombies stumbling around a giant mall to the sounds of "save now" PAs (dotd)? I don't think the filmmakers behind FEEDING THE MASSES intended their message to be subtle, and besides who says that art has to have a subtle message anyway. FEEDING THE MASSES succeeded in being an entertaining zombie flick that commented on the media of this country. I give it a 6.

It truly was like a porn without the sex. Or if that analogy is not to your liking, imagine you and your drunk roommate found a movie camera abandoned on a park bench. This is the movie that you would make. -Horrible acting -bad camera work -Music done on a casio keyboard This movie has it all, and more. For those who are masochists in the crowd, this is a premiere piece for your collection. All I can figure is that the only people to submit reviews for this dripping pile of movie, were people who 'starred' in it. Their movie career is over before it started.
