Eat Me

This is not your usual run of the mill, "house invasion" movie. It is very different to anything you will have ever seen before within that genre. The scene is set with an attempted suicide superimposed by a house invasion. What follows is disturbing, comedic, and bizarre. You feel an uncomfortable witness to brutality and degradation, but the movie and tight acting holds your attention enough to see it though. It's an original and compelling movie, and leads us to question what our lives really account for.

Can't recall another movie like this. the dialog is authentic. it's paced nicely. nice simple score. it is quite jarring. has some kind of underlying message, but i'll have to watch it again before cementing an opinion on that. this is as good a movie as is possible with a 50k budget, 3 actors, and one location, which is actually the lead character/screenwriters house.

I'm not gonna lie..Jacqueline Wright's "Eat Me" is a tough film to watch...but not in a begrudgingly masochistic way. It is one of those rare films that takes the dynamics of a human relationship, puts them in a blender, and serves it as part of a five-course meal complete with a bloody rare slice of veal, bottle of Dom, and a slice of tiramisu to close. Wright's character Tommy has lost her will to live, and, when confronted by a home intruder with the question and relevance of her mortality, both perpetrator and victim are called to answer. The roller coaster that ensues is like no other, with acting by Wright and Carter as gold as it gets. Martin Carrillo's score adds an impending urgency that these two haunting humans need for understanding and redemption, and Adrian Cruz's direction pulls focus to the characters' plight and inner demons as a way to justify the horrific actions that ensue. It is a game of living. It is a game of loving, and, most poetically, it is a game of connecting to the traumas and childhoods that create us..that will help us understand..and ultimately heal. "Eat Me" will make you THINK. Live a little. GO SEE IT.

This has to be said before all else; the entire movie when I was looking at Tommy, all I kept seeing was Dee from "It's Always Sunny." That made the whole movie kind of hit in a weird way. I think it really helped with the black humor that was sprinkled throughout tho.

So I'm seeing Sweet Dee and I think "The Gang Find Dee Dead." I laughed and watched as the movie starts out slow. The pacing and the structure of it... It starts with just her laying in bed forever. Spontaneously she gets up and starts grabbing dirty laundry and her suitcase. I thought, she can't be packing to do laundry, she must want she must want to take a trip without ever leaving home, and sleep in the suitcase. Sure enough ... That's when I knew there was going to be some real wtf stuff going on.

This isn't so much a horror film in the way Freddy, Jason or Michael; I feel the darkness and black humor does feel like it is up Art the clowns alley though. M Night used to be able to make good twists, and he could never have dreamt up half the surprises in store for the viewers. This movie will hit you where you least expect it, and I love it. Some of it hit close to home, some of it me made me glad I don't leave me doors unlocked, ever.

If you have your expectations set for it to not be some crazy horror setup, and more in the vein of an emotional rollercoaster, you'll have a memorable time. I defy people to not want to talk about it after watching.

I don't know why this movie has such a low rating - it is worth so much more.

Perhaps horror slasher fans didn't find what they were looking for, which is understandable. I would say this is more of a violent drama than horror.

Even so, this movie is intense as the two main characters have to face some truths about themselves.

The acting is superb!

It is a bit of a slow burner, but if you like intense drama then this is certainly one to watch.
