Eat

Novella McClure (Meggie Maddock) is like most struggling actresses in Los Angeles: she is in her early 30s, her fake name sounded cooler ten years ago, and she has not landed a role in three years.

This movie has a pretty low rating on IMDb. As of this moment (August 2015), it is sitting at 4.7, which is generally considered a bad movie. But it is not a bad movie. The problem is that it is just very difficult to sit through because the graphic imagery is disturbing and disgusting. But this is, of course, exactly what they were trying to accomplish.

Obviously this is a low budget film, but the acting is still decent and the plot is better than average. It makes an interesting companion piece to "Starry Eyes". And the gore... wow. Most of the time it is just blood, but when we get glimpses of more than that, it is some of the best out there...

So I'm a huge fan of horror/gore films always have been my whole life but i usually watch older 80s horror films and I was doing some research on newer movies to see if there's anything still good out there and I read a review on this And didn't know how I felt because it just sounded odd. So I decided I'd give it a shot and Let me tell you this is one hell of a movie I've never seen anything like it. It's not like the movies I usually watch but something about it just got to me and I was like damn this is wild. So if your a horror/gore fan trying to see something wild. I'd say this is worth the watch

It's a low budget b-movie with mediocre acting. But what it has in it's favor is decent sfx and a story that is a bit more complex than I was expecting. It's worth a watch, but I don't think it will make anyone's top ten horror flicks. In a way it's not even horror, but more of a drama about rejection and self-destruction.

Eat. What could I say about this movie. It's not well made. There's issues in everything. The script, the acting, the flow of the story. Even I could tell the lighting and production stuff was in disarray.

But I really really liked it. It's a really sick and disgusting take on Hollywood and I don't know. To be honest, I have no idea why I like this movie now that I think about it.

It just has a cool slow to it. The actress is attractive. And she's trying to make it in Hollywood. But she's kind of a slacker. And she eats herself.

It's cool. You gotta just watch it.

You might not like it. But it's truly one of my top ten favorite movies of all time.

I saw this film a couple of years ago at the Denver Film Festival, and I thought it was interesting, however at moments it did feel a bit unnecessarily gory. At times it just felt if it was meant to satisfy all the demographics, who might like the similar, yet different elements of this genre.

Although I am a fan of low budget indi films, and even though the concept of this film was very interesting, the story however felt a little convoluted with unnecessary twists, that didn't really add to the actual quality of the film.

The performance of the main two actresses Meggie Maddock and Ali Frances were well done, however, the other performances didn't seem to stand the same ground. Like for instance, the performance by Jake Make, who played the character of the doctor, somehow just felt dry and two dimensional, hence loosing believability that I think was crucial for such a character.

Overall, for the genre this film is portraying, and the low budget it was made for, I believe this film stands its ground when it comes to its uniqueness.
