Eat Me

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
