Feeders (film)

Feeders (1996) is a low-budget, independent sci-fi horror film written and directed by the Polonia brothers. Shot on video at a time when access to VHS recording technology had become easy enough that amateurs could make movies and receive distribution, Feeders is semi-popular among cult film enthusiasts for its extremely amateurish direction, acting, writing, and special effects.

gollark: Oh, you want to *move* it, not *destroy* it?
gollark: They lose mass too fast to become red supergiants and still retain high temperature.
gollark: Extremely large stars (>40 solar masses) apparently don't become red giants!
gollark: Aha, good news!
