Synopsis

Novella McClure is like most struggling actresses in Los Angeles: she's in her early 30s, her fake name sounded cooler ten years ago, and she hasn't landed a role in three years. To top it all off, she's developed a disturbing habit of eating her own flesh. Novella desperately tries to hide her strange condition from her motherly landlord, Eesha, and somewhat psychopathic best friend, Candice, but her body and mind continue to deteriorate in the depressing world of failed auditions and sketchy night clubs. Can a romantic relationship with her psychiatrist prevent her from self destruction? Or will her fatal habit continue to eat away at her?

crittendenangelam Sooooo, whenever watch a movie I always check the reviews so I don't waste my time watching a shitty movie. I looked at the ratings and reviews people gave and saw a lot of 8's and 9's. So I watched it. Total horse shit. That's 90 minutes I won't get back. The storyline definitely had potential but the acting is just horrendous. Like, okay I'm gonna try and explain this the best way I can. Have you ever seen a movie or show where the actor is reading lines for a pretend show within the show and they're ACTING like they're a bad actor while reading the lines...? Like, they're a good actor in real life but in their show/movie they're acting like they're a bad actor for the movie scene or episode? Like for example, Joey Tribbiani from Friends. He's a good actor in real life but in the show Friends he portrays himself as a struggling actor who's not very good? That's what every person in this movie acts like. Especially the friend with the "baby girl" thing every 30 seconds and the main character is shitty too. Idk man but I thought this movie sucked.
trashgang The first full feature by director Jimmy Weber and it's one that will stick to your mind. the opening sequence is great, the editing and the graphics, it immediately got my attention. Slowly you get into the story and the first minutes nothing really is going on. Except for Novella (Meggie Maddock) who got some trouble with her thumb. It's bleeding. After going through so many auditions she's fed up and starts sucking her thumb and trouble comes in.I can understand that some horror geeks won't going to like this flick because it do takes a while before the nastiness comes in. It's really going into the character of Novella and seeing how she's going on with her nasty habits of biting. Being used and abused (porn industry) she's becoming sick doesn't admit it and falls in love with her schrink. Here and there you do get rewarded with gore. Overall I found it okay but to say it's one for the gorehounds no therefore I can't agree. This one just goes deep into the mind of Novella. It will stick to your mind, that I can tell.Gore 2,5/5 Nudity 0/5 Effects 4/5 Story 3/5 Comedy 0/5
in1984 5 of 10. Had the post-credit scene happened at the end of the film, I'd give it another point. After a film like this, however, it's asking a lot for people to stick around through the credits and the film really needs some form of release after grueling gore and tension.The main problem is that the writer really needed a skilled director rather than serving as both. While the actors did what they could with the script, the casting for several of the key characters was off and could have easily been switched.The other part of it that wasn't setup well was the psychological element. Too often, it felt like unbelievably stupid characters rather than a mental disorder.It's not a B-film because of the special FX, which was very believable and didn't look cheap. It's B because of the writing/directing that made many scenes feel like TV soap opera melodrama, unlike a recent smoother, more finished blood-gore film Julia (2014).
Metalwench Bad kitty Loved this horror flick can't say enough great things about this movie from the original story line to how the movie pulls you in to it's graphic story.Characters were very believable especially the best friend she was awesome.Main actress was great at portraying herself as a deeply troubled woman dealing with many problems from her very sad life. Started out slow but kept my attention.I have seen many horror movies but not like this one it had a some what eerie quality to it.I would highly recommend watching Eat I am recommending it to all my friends and family...Great job would love to see more movies that haven't been overly done like this one.So tired of watching the same types over and over.
