This actually cost $500 and the makers sold 8000 copies to Blockbuster video, so it could be classed as a success story. If I had rented this from Blockbuster I would have gone back and burned it to the ground 😁
to be absolutely fair, this was literally a couple of guys and their friends making a movie with videocameras, one of the first of its kind. They've had some ideas, not great ideas mind you, but they tried and made a somewhat coherent movie. Some of the shots have a certain charme and the effects are ....ok for that budget i guess. On that level i do respect their work. It's bad, but respectable. Better than "Things", for sure. Now," Feeders 2" is a waste of time with 1/10 of the effort put in it.
Damn Tarentino, Wes Anderson, Kubrick, Scorsese, Fincher, Scott, Hitchcock, Coens, Coppola and Welles have nothing on these guys. This was a pristine piece of film. You can’t help but appreciate the technical proficiency of true artists at their craft.
Remember, this movie has a sequel, Feeders 2: Slay Bells. Maybe save that for the holidays. Both movies were filmed in your neck of the woods, Pennsylvania (there's even a Feeders 3). IN THE MEANTIME, there's a movie called Lycan Colony that makes Feeders look like Casablanca. If this movie is no-budget, Lycan Colony is anti-budget. Fun Fact: Mark and John Polonia are identical twins. John plays Bennett here and Mark plays the evil Bennett clone as well as the main character for Feeders 2. John sadly passed away in 2008.
It was at this moment that "Bill" realised that his special effects weren't so special. Needless to say "Bill" probably doesn't do special effects anymore... Are we sure this isn't another one of my fellow Canadians shooting this on a Hi 8? The budget seems about right. This was pure Golden Garbage!! Love it!! Thanks guys!
I remember reading a review of this online back in like 2000-2001 (along with a few other terrible no-budget "movies" like "Killing Spree" and "Troll 2"). This was how we found out about crap like this before YT existed, lol.
There is sequals Feeders 2: Slay Bells, released in 1998. A third film, Feeders 3: the final meal released in 2022. All 3 movies are available on tubi.
This movie actually has a sequel. A christmas sequel. Imagine Charles Dickens "A Christmas Carol" with aliens. And being shit. But these films has a certain charm to them. The enthusiasm is quite contagious.
The best part about this is that I was trying to figure out where this movie was filmed based on the license plates on the vehicles, but the quality was so unbelievably low that I couldn't even make out a single detail about the license plates, even when the camera was filming a perfectly still shot directly at the rear of the car from ten feet away. LMFAO!
The end of every episode of SBIG: Jason: "Erin- was [fill in the blank} so bad it's good?" Erin: "Okay... everyone makes fun of me because I don't know the rules of this show...."
The 80s were a wild time for movies since everyone could make them due to the advent of consumer grade cameras and editing but man, it gave us some movies that are just straight up garbage and Jason, you BETTER watch the sequel for Christmas
@@JasonBrant I don't think you should do it. Call it a hunch, but.... I don't think the quality is going to improve much. Although, it turns out that Santa is real and he's packing heat.
Hard to imagine the Feeders being able to get that far, being 12 inches tall and getting punted into the woods by the skinniest 'hero' imaginable. Plus I also love these movies that end so abruptly, because you just know they were running out of budget by that point. xD
This is weird as hell. My mom gave me a box of old VHS tapes 2 days ago(i have a CRT for retro gaming purposes, it has a built in player) and this was one of them.
22:24 Prey species tend to have eyes on the sides of their heads to help them see their surroundings to evade predators. But these 2' shitweasels are just built different. 😆 And those dudes were definitely, 100%, totally NOT "broke back mountain fishing."
Feeders spawned a Christmas-themed sequel titled Feeders 2: Slay Bells, released in 1998.[6][7] A third film, Feeders 3: The Final Meal, was shot in Tioga County, Pennsylvania, in 2020, and released in 2022.[4]
Through Google I found that the twins are mark & John polonia. Both were indie filmmakers through the early 2000s. John died unexpectedly of a heart aneurysm in 2008.
Broooo that Garfield commercial brought so much memories... My favorite channels back then... Cartoon Network Latin America, Nickelodeon, Disney Channel and Locomotion. Geez those were the good days.
So Kip from Napoleon Dynamite and Dollar Store Michael Bay are clearly just walking around a public park in the suburbs. Pretty sure you could see traffic in the background of their "camp grounds."
Had a total flashback. The gas station in the beginning! Acorn Market! This is definitely in northern PA. I lived in Athens PA for a couple yrs in HS and Acorn was where we'd walk over to during open period to play donkey Kong and space invaders. (Yes, I'm old). Too funny.
Love the socks that Brian always rocks!! "No more rhymes, i mean it!!" "Anyone want a peanut?" 😅😅 What movie is this quote from??? Once again, you guys put out another great riff. Keep the great work going. Y'all are great people.
The guy in the glasses is a well-respected no-budget director, and the woman with "the hair" is his wife. And when I mean NO budget, I mean it. He made Feeders 2 from literaly 0 $, according to imdb! (But Feeders 3 is entertaining tbh.) He's also responsible for such classics as Amityville IN SPACE, Dune World, or half of the Camp Blood series. Oh, and my absolute favourite: Amityville Island!
Not to mention "Frozen Sasquatch" and "Sharkenstein". Love all the Polonia Brothers' work. Sadly, John passed away in 2008 but thankfully Mark has carried on.
He says I can't do anything more for this man, then covers him up like he is a dead body. He didn't say he was dead, just that he can't do anything more for this man, meaning he isn't dead yet, but he will be soon, so just go ahead and put a blanket over his face. He doesn't need anymore air anyway.
I just now realized I only saw Feeders II. I thought I had seen Feeders before but the only scene I remember is the barn scene, but that's because a video DJ friend of mine kept using that clip. Also, they don't need to call in the army to wipe these guys out.. just some soccer players with good high kicks.
You guys are so much fun to watch. I'm glad I discovered this channel. Or that the algorithm put you on my radar. Either way you are fun to watch and I've been enjoying your work for the last few days. I love the reactions everyone has to the silliness you are watching. Please keep doing the good work and know that it is appreciated. Peace
I love reading the ridiculous titles to your videos, and then watching and seeing how incredibly spot on the titles actually are.
Haha, thanks!
Absurd titles lol
Brian wins best line for this one and it went totally under the radar “That guy can lift a rock?!” 😂😂😂😂😂. Great review.
That was a good one.
Brian has some great zingers that usually go unnoticed bc he's so soft-spoken compared to the others.
😂😂😂
Yes lol

Thanks!
“It’s a lil’ laaate.” 😂 best chuckle all day.
"Jason why don't you want me to be happy?"
Because if you were happy, we wouldn't have a TH-cam channel.
Good point 🤣
There's a restraining order coming from Brian any day now.
Restraining order is too much hassle. I think it's just going to be straight up murder. @@Dr.Thirteen-bb1ub

The writing, in particular, is a master class.
These aliens are so realistic, Mexico's congress should really look in to this video. They may have something here. Lol
It's a documentary..........
They need to check out the local dive bar for aliens.
@@JasonBrant"Dive"...right 😜
@@JasonBrant Why are they called "dive" bars anyway? You dont dive there, do you?
I love how the aliens just happen to have the metabolism required to digest humans.

Thanks for the trivia. I can't quite understand there being three of these. A good tax write off?
I am willing to bet that those 2 building shots at the end were probably news clips of buildings that were legally imploded for one reason or another
It was at this moment that "Bill" realised that his special effects weren't so special. Needless to say "Bill" probably doesn't do special effects anymore...
Are we sure this isn't another one of my fellow Canadians shooting this on a Hi 8? The budget seems about right.
This was pure Golden Garbage!! Love it!! Thanks guys!
Probably was Hi8🤣
Could be wrong but I think i recognize some of the background scenery. I think it was filmed it was filmed in Potter County Pennsylvania.@@JasonBrant
This is not a Canadian production. It has a wiki page you can read more about if you want.
Ooh Pennsylvania just like Dave Waskovitch
The T-shirt game from you three in this video...is impeccable!

Been a rough stretch.
15:46 Not in the hair!!!
Alien: Oh, sorry... lemme get you a towel
Lol was not expecting a Tom Platz reference! Well done!
No idea where that came from.
The shirt game is getting stronger!
Can't take credit for them - people send us funny stuff!

Happy b-day!
@@JasonBrant Thank you so much!! I hope all of you have a GREAT Halloween!! 💯👍🎃
Happy birthday to you
@@ESPLTD322 Thank you! 😁👍
1:45 A thick atmosphere but no clouds whatsoever. So, it's the nicest weather Earth has ever had, but no one can go outside to enjoy it.
haha

I'll see if I have a copy.
You gotta check it out. It's better than Feeders 1 IMO.@@JasonBrant
So, if these aliens invade other people's bodies from the rear door, does that mean they're... bottom feeders?
Homerun. Well done.
Imagine Chest Bursters being Bottom Bursters... the ALIEN movies certainly would have a different style & tone 😅
You could have easily made an ass of yourself with that joke, put you pulled it out in the end.
Xtro this ain't 😂😂😂 awesome channel the gift that keeps on giving.
At least the Aliens didn’t wear a pinky ring 😂😂
Funny you should mention Xtro...

7:17 "Jason, why don't you want me to be happy?" - Lol. Brian is my son's favorite on here.
Loved the whole "dive" bar thread throughout the window. I too know friends who are "dive" bar patrons lol.
There’s actually 2 sequels to this. Feeders 2: Slay Bells and Feeders 3: The Final Meal. Feeders 3 was released last year!

Holy s**t, I thought that was Dave's head in the thumbnail, not some random dipsh*t lol 😂 This was amazing lol 😂😂😂

Holy shit, Brian managed to fuck up like 4 movies and 3 genres in one. I, sir, am impressed.
When you said 1996, I was convinced you made a mistake so I went to IMDB and realized you were right. This looks like it was made in the 70’s for $6.
They used the highest quality Hi8 tapes.
Just came across you guys last week,and haven't stopped watching everything! So good!
Enjoy there's some good stuff here.
Welcome aboard!

Wow they walk with air of confidence rarely seen in this day and age👾😄

Through Google I found that the twins are mark & John polonia. Both were indie filmmakers through the early 2000s. John died unexpectedly of a heart aneurysm in 2008.
Was I the only one screaming "GIZMO!" at the screen when he called him gwildor
I enjoyed instead of having a driving a car intro with the credits we got a spaceship flying in space. Classic! Thanks guys for another banger.
Seeing you review this movie made me realize how much I want to see a Suburban Sasquatch VS Feeders movie.
This movie is like if The Lone Gunmen from X Files made a movie with Mulder producing it
Broooo that Garfield commercial brought so much memories... My favorite channels back then... Cartoon Network Latin America, Nickelodeon, Disney Channel and Locomotion. Geez those were the good days.
Now I know that stick legged dwebs are the bulwark against paper mache aliens.
When they did the flying saucer scene, their Amiga crashed and burned
haha
Watching Special Space Jacks feeding is hilarious. Their little feeding head wiggles are so adorable!
🤣
Prometheus or the Asgards from Stargate SG1 have made their way onto SBIG.
🤣
HEY! the Asgard are legit!!!
The pron parody for this is basically shot for shot but with exponentially better quality in all production aspects.
Just found your channel a week ago and I haven't stopped laughing. Thanks for taking the bullet for us all.❤
Thanks so much!
I like how Erin somehow took this movie full Dragon Sound just a few minutes into an alien invasion.
Hearing you guys verbally rip "ankle socks" a new one just had me on the floor
God help me, I want to watch Dreamcatcher now. Thanks Jason.
Read the book. Pass on the movie.
I remember Stephen King writing that one when he was recovering from his accident and admitting he was high as fuck on painkillers.
I'm glad this was the first for the night.
Feeders 2 is proving to be a difficult film to find.
The aliens are basically space chihuahuas
Those creature effects!! Awww... at least little Billy tried..
Soundtrack by a Casio keyboard demo preset. 😂
So Kip from Napoleon Dynamite and Dollar Store Michael Bay are clearly just walking around a public park in the suburbs. Pretty sure you could see traffic in the background of their "camp grounds."
This one was absolute torture.... I applaud you, Jason. Amazing work.
Haha, thanks.
17:40…. “Jason!!? Make it stop..!!”
😂
So far, this is awesome. great choices this Halloween Season.

17:41 - In my parents house we had like 3 old sickles hanging on the wall as decoration so I can't laugh about that.
Yeah, dude definitely accidentally set his 486 compaq on fire rendering those images.
Love the socks that Brian always rocks!!
"No more rhymes, i mean it!!"

How the hell can someone make Suburban Sasquatch look competent?
Masters of the universe might actually be a good one to watch on the channel. The dwarf who played Gwildor was also in Willow!
The title is not the only thing that is spot on.
Now you’ve gotta do Feeders 2: Slay Bells (yes the sequel is Christmas themed) in December, Jason.
13:56 Trying desperately to establish inner-world rules 😂 *Mike Stoklasa whisper: „they don’t care…“

no... predators have their eyes on the front not the sides... prey have eyes on the side so they can see behind them
"Brian does the maths"? How very Commonwealth of you.
The movie, Liquid Sky, has Aliens "eating" men for another strange aahhh proclivity.
1. Those socks go with the Danzig T perfectly
2. I've been a subscriber since "Lone Wolf McQuade". Yall are still badass
What is with the Charlie Brown music? I was half expecting the aliens to make a "Wah Wah Wah" sound.
Jason’s empty gaze into the camera. THAT should be a t shirt.
I'm a little surprised you guys struggled with Gizmo. He was an 80s icon for most kids.
