Need to Feed is a low-budget horror-comedy film made in 2007. The plot revolves around three best friends, Teddy (Pascal Aka), Scott (Ian Argue), and Dax (Evan Desmarais), who are all struggling to make ends meet in their mundane daily lives. Teddy is an aspiring guitarist who can't seem to catch a break, Scott is a pizza delivery boy who's tired of the job, and Dax is an ex-convict who's trying to turn over a new leaf.
One day, the trio hears about a strange new drug that has been recently introduced in the market. The drug is called "brain freeze," and it's supposed to give the users a unique high that they have never experienced before. The boys are skeptical at first, but they decide to try it out anyway. Little do they know that this decision is going to turn their lives into a living nightmare.
After using the drug, the boys start experiencing strange side effects. They start craving human flesh, and they can't seem to control their sudden bouts of aggression. The boys soon realize that they have turned into zombies, and they're going to have to hunt for human flesh to survive.
The rest of the movie follows the boys as they embark on a journey to embrace their newfound hunger for human flesh. They face several challenges along the way, including a run-in with a college professor who's trying to find a cure for the virus that has turned the boys into zombies. There's also a group of vigilantes who are trying to rid the town of the zombie menace, and the boys are their prime targets.
Despite the movie's low budget and amateurish acting, Need to Feed has a lot of heart. The trio of Pascal Aka, Ian Argue, and Evan Desmarais deliver genuinely likable performances, and it's hard not to root for them as they try to survive in a world that's turned against them.
The film is also surprisingly funny at times, with several jokes that land perfectly. The humor mostly stems from the boys' inability to control their cravings for human flesh, which leads them into some hilariously awkward situations.
Another highlight of the film is its makeup and special effects. The zombies in Need to Feed are genuinely terrifying, with their disheveled appearance and insatiable hunger for human flesh. The film doesn't shy away from gore, and there are several scenes that will make even the most hardened horror fans cringe.
Despite its flaws, Need to Feed is a fun and entertaining zombie film that is worth checking out. It's not going to win any awards for its acting or production values, but it's clear that the filmmakers had a lot of passion for the project. If you're a fan of low-budget horror-comedies, then Need to Feed is definitely worth a watch.
Need To Feed is a horror movie with a runtime of 1 hour and 12 minutes. It has received mostly positive reviews from critics and viewers, who have given it an IMDb score of 6.9.
