Eat Me

A woman hides all her dildos and then decides to end it all by ingesting pills. After she passes out two men break in doing a home invasion. Things get a little weird from here on in.

A well done film which could have easily been a play since everything takes place in one room over the course of one night. It does get pretty crude and sick at times (golden showers, rapes etc.) then switches to people baring their souls, so it is an emotional rollercoaster.

The acting was top notch which really helped the overall dynamic. These are weird characters to pull off and they get the job done. The added bonus was the jazz score as sound effects in crucial scenes like the hammering of piano keys as someone's penis got bit.

You'll either enjoy this one or you'll think its just plain weird but a definite must see.

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.

This disruptive, provocative flick is structured like a crime-drama - a suicidal single resident, a home intrusion, a violent sexual assault and off we go - but writer/star Jacqueline Wright and the director named Adrian Cruz never let anything settle, never let you feel that you've got it all figured out. They somehow manage to elevate their seemingly simple story and arguably even simpler production values into a multifaceted dissection of morality, power struggles and various implications of sexual deviance. Jacqueline Wright obviously knows which buttons to push, and she pushes them to save her life (or at least her career), but from some blatant dabblings into exploitation territory quite a few interesting thoughts emerge. The interplay between Wright and Brad Carter, who plays the youngest of the intruders, is at times stirring.

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.
