    Different perspective

    As a deeply spiritual person and believer in GOD, I found the explanation about life and concept of "your GOD" interesting. Even though I have a different belief, I can appreciate seeing a different perspective of the character Adam's explanation while sitting at the table near the end. Having an open mind naturally helped me see a different concept. The filmmaker is a deep thinker and leaves the door open to interpretation. The mind is a powerful tool. He shows/uses that with all the film's characters. The character Evie was able to question Adam's explanation while still keeping her moral compass. Her need to attempt to understand Adam made her likable to me. I loved the way the film touched on modern events in America like BLM, Antifa, the police/African American tensions. It was eye opening without being preachy. Held my interest the whole film. The cinematography was good for a local film on a budget. I liked seeing places I recognized. The writing was well done, truthful and easy to understand. Enjoyed this film! Only wish it were longer. My only issue! 👏🏾

    An Excellent Independent Film!!!

    I love horror movies and I've seen a lot of independent horror movies. Though none of them have impressed me such as this particular one has. At approximately three minutes in I was hooked. The whole thing is quite the ride for a Lovecraft fan and it just gets weirder and weirder as it goes! You can tell they put their hearts and souls into it and that's one of the best things about it. The passion for Lovecraftian horror is extremely apparent! Keep up the excellent work, I'm looking forward to anything and everything this studio puts out! This will be a beautiful start to my long relationship with anything Frog Labs puts out going forward. Thank you Frog Labs for making this masterpiece of a film you've gained a fan for life!

    P. S. - Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn!

    I'm a horror movies fan.

    I have watched all of horror movies through the years. Like Nightmare On Elm Street,, All of them. I Spit On Your Grave,, The original and remake and the sequels,, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and the many sequels and remakes. So When I say I watched Eat The Rich. I thought it was a great horror movie. I mean it should be the the movie theaters around the world for everybody to be able to watch it,, It should be in the stores so the horror movies fans could buy it to add to their collection.

    If you like horror movies this one is one to watch. I can't wait to see more from Frog Labs. Thank you.

    A plot that made no sense and went nowhere

    This was without a doubt absolute garbage, the characters, plot, none of it had any cohesion to what was happening. Every scene comes across poorly shot, the actors while I'm sure they did their best with what they were given deliver less than believable performances regarding anything they're doing. The effects are badly done and are a stark contrast with the scenes portrayed. Don't waist your time with this disaster piece, truly watching paint dry would provide a more entertaining evening. The plot has no idea what it's doing scene from scene, they're a few sub plots going on that never get revisited or brought up again so what was the point of introducing them to the story anyways. In closing don't watch this terrible movie. Go buy a churro or do anything else more valuable with your time.

    A Revenge Horror Film Must See

    Who doesn't like a revenge film tinged with politics? Thoroughly enjoyed watching and look forward to more of what Key will bring to us next. The feel matched the mood in terms of the photography. The cast feels local and I hope this movie serves as a spring board to successful careers in future projects. For anyone familiar with local politics here in southern Indiana, the plot is clear who they kidnapped and I recommend anyone from here to watch and enjoy. Eat the Rich? Eat a local corrupt and scummy politician who for some reason keeps getting voted into office. Can't wait to see Kermet's next venture!
