Director Chad Archibald returns with his new horror film, this time with Ir Feeds, a film that takes us into the world of the mind and demons in a clever and truly terrifying way.

To this end, he has a top-notch Ashley Greene, who leads the cast with an interesting role within the film's expectations. We also find a couple of well-performing supporting actors, helping the story function within its boundaries and its premise.

The director knows the genre very well and his specialty of psychological horror films, and in that area he transports us through a film that generates quite a few jumps and scares. He certainly does so with simple resources, but they are totally effective, which end up being a success for a film that works as great horror entertainment.

I think it's a couple of minutes too long, but the film is actually quite accomplished. It has interesting characters, an effective, if fairly common, story, and a director who knows what he's trying to deliver. It's a pleasant surprise, for one of those films that goes unheralded, but is worth taking the time to watch and enjoy.

The movie was really interesting as a concept and Ashley Greene was incredible in it. I really didn't know how much of good actress she was, she really embodied the role and made it so believable, I was surprised. Not sure what I expected, but not this good.

I can definitely see this having one or even multiple sequels as a lot more stories can be told with the main characters and the premises let us as viewers wonder how she got to do what she does and other patients she could have helped or might help in the future.

The actress playing her daughter also did a fantastic job.

Really enjoyed the movie.

Generic, unimaginative, formulaic. Not the worst horror movie I've seen, but it certainly wasn't very good.

The performances from the two young actresses in the film were extremely weak and over-acted, and one of them is supposed to be Ashley Greene's daughter, despite only looking about 10 years younger than her which took me out of the film quite a lot. Ashley herself did a decent job with the script she was given, though.

Every beat in this movie was predictable and clichéd, down to the creepy kid drawings and ineffective jump scares. The script was bland and offered nothing new or unique, and there was no unsettling imagery or scares to elevate the material.

Overall, I recommend skipping this one.

It Feeds had potential, but unfortunately, it gets lost somewhere between its own confusion and a lackluster delivery. The premise could have been chilling - a mysterious force feeding off fear, maybe guilt, maybe something deeper - but the movie never quite figures out what it's trying to say, or how to say it.

The acting ranges from wooden to wildly over-the-top, making it hard to feel connected to any of the characters. The pacing drags in parts where it should build tension, and when things finally start to pick up, it's too little, too late. The "twist" (if you can call it that) lands with a dull thud, and any meaningful horror is undercut by odd dialogue and strange editing choices.

On the plus side, the creature design is decent, and a couple of atmospheric shots manage to evoke some eerie vibes. But those fleeting moments aren't enough to salvage the experience.

Overall, It Feeds feels like it's trying to ride the coattails of smarter, scarier horror films - but ends up a half-baked mess that neither feeds the fear nor the imagination.

I look for little things when rating horror movies. Does the acting have emotion? Facial expressions? Is it good? After all we don't really get to see anything new but we can see slightly different plots with good acting. I this point I think we are rating horror movies on acting and effects (although the latter isn't entirely necessary). Anyway with that said I love Ashley Greene. I like her in aftermath, all the twilight movies, and the apparition. She's a very talented and beautiful actress and she really does only get more beautiful with time. Fine wine. Now Ellie O'Brien??? I was absolutely blown away at how good of an actress this woman is. I think she just turned 23 and her acting is really good for her age. Absolute natural. In one of the opening scenes she's arguing with her mom (Ashley Greene) and I think I replayed that scene like 7 times because of how natural and on point her acting was. She's really good at drama. I say that to say this movie is easily a 7 because of these 2 women selling the movie. It's really a 5 but I put 6 because they did a really good job. The movie itself has been done 100 times so don't expect anything new. It didn't break the internet but it did put me to bed on a Sunday.
