Reviews:
“Feed the Devil is a competent and confident addition to horror from Max Perrier and proves that running through the woods still has the ability to shock, scare and surprise. This is definitely an impressive demonstration of intensity that is filled with fun jumps and scares.” Jessy Williams, Scream magazine
“Perrier’s direction is uneven, and his script (with Matthew Altman) is plodding and incoherent at times. But he succeeds at keeping the tension in high gear, aided by Miksa Kovek’s inventive score and gorgeous, if chilling, scenery. The best of Feed the Devil boils down to the uniformly good acting, especially by Cohn, Barrow and Tyson Houseman, who plays an unwilling and unwitting accomplice to Marcus, arriving late to the party.” Allan Walton, Ravenous Monster
“Despite the characters’ improbable reactions and appalling dialogue, writer/director Perrier and co-writer Altman prove lush filming and a retelling of primal, aggressive folklore builds suspense and makes for good filmmaking. Silence interspersed with an interesting soundtrack by Miksa Kovek adds to the tension, and sweeping cinematic work builds to the inevitable.” Kerry Black, Cryptic Rock
“Like many other first time horror directors, Perrier goes to the woods and we watch his cast slowly get bumped off in various nasty ways. However the particular evil in this film comes from Native American roots and gives the film an uneasy racial tone … the film often drags with slow pacing.” Christopher Stewart, UK Horror Scene
