Feed Me

Okay, now that that's done, on to this film. It is about a taboo subject. Indeed I'm even surprised how movies with graphic content like this even gets a release. It is no wonder that horrific crimes like the ones portrayed in all the movies I have mentioned above have become commonplace. Has society as a whole become de-humanized? It remains to be seen how the world can regain its humanity and strive for the end of crime and lasting world peace.

The movie is about a man who lost his wife through her bulimia. He became so frustrated with his wife's condition that he broke off all contact with her at a point. Later cops visited him and told him that his wife's body had been found and that she was dead. Grief-stricken he meets a weird guy at a drinking place who tells him that he will help him deal with his wife's sorrow by helping him depart from the world. The gives the man his card and tells him to call him again. Still suffering from guilt over his wife's death, the man finally decides to end his life by calling the man, meeting him again, signing a contract and handing him his mobile phone. What happens later is for you to see and find out.

This is also psychological drama on many levels. There are many viewpoints to consider. The direction is masterful and always in control. The acting and sound-effects are professional. However the movie has a fatal flaw in that like the movies I have mentioned above, this one is not worth a second viewing.

Well, lets be honest. When I first saw the rating 4.5 I was not encouraged to watch this film. But then I noticed the comedy genre and I thought what kind of comedy could it be! So I just decided to give it a watch.

I am impressed with the acting, it is exaggerated but it is also hilarious! The events are interesting and keeps you excited for what may happen next. It is not your typical Hollywood horror movie. If that is what you want you then don't waste your time with this one. If you are ready for something different, cheesy and new then you will be satisfied. I gave it 5 because I could have been better, but it is just ok for me.

Reminiscent of one of the only stories to ever give me nightmares, Feed Me really did it for me! This movie is incredible. The acting is phenomenal, the pace is perfect, the dark humor: relentless and the story was 'cannibalistic-chef's kiss'! The characters were relatable and, by the end, I CARED ABOUT THE VILLAIN! An absolutely outstanding film... one I won't soon forget!

Shout out to Neal Ward too, man... Lionel will forever live in the dark recesses of my mind and will endearingly haunt me for eternity! Truly, remarkable work! Lionel is my new favorite horror villain, hands down.

Should you watch it? Absolutely... watch it thrice!

I mean this in the least condescending way possible... I think that this was a really solid attempt at what they were going for. It was fun, different and entertaining. Granted, not without its flaws, but still should be appreciated for its positives.

I think that this was lacking slightly as far as the story went. We got some seemingly deep but ultimately superficial background on each of the characters and it was presented in such a way that it was nothing of real intrigue or relatability. The chain of events from scene to scene felt oddly disjointed and while the obvious and intended absurdist vibe was present I'm not sure it had enough to balance it out. I think a lot of that unfortunately had to do with the character of Lionel.

While you could definitely tell that the guy was a good actor, it was a little too silly in juxtaposition to the rest of the film to be looked at as a cohesive part of the production as a whole. He gave me much more theater vibes in general and the cartoon Texas accent was distracting (maybe not to someone from the UK, but to an American). The other lead actor did quite a good job with a surprisingly down to earth performance. I would be interested in seeing both of them in something else.

The movie looked quite nice with some actually beautiful shots, had some surprisingly good effects and a fun, absurd tone throughout. This is going to be a polarizing one for some people but I enjoyed it for the most part. 4.5 rounding up to a 5. Would recommend.

The only reason this is getting even a 3 is because some of the gore scenes are pretty brutal to watch and I also always give credit for the effort it takes to make any movie. If your into gore just fast forward to those parts and try to skip any of the acting from the cannibal as it is some of the worst acting you will ever see. The "acting" is so absurdly over the top and just wierd from the lead that it feels like he is in a bad community theater play while everyone else in the movie ignores it like nothing is wierd about him. You can't even tell if it's supposed to be cheesy or not because nobody else is in the realm of a cheesy cheeky horror movie, only him. But whoever was in charge of special effects wasn't half bad. The arm scene was up there with terrorizer. Oh I almost forgot how crazy bad his wig is It's next level distracting the whole movie.
