It Feeds

The movie was really interesting as a concept and Ashley Greene was incredible in it. I really didn't know how much of good actress she was, she really embodied the role and made it so believable, I was surprised. Not sure what I expected, but not this good.

I can definitely see this having one or even multiple sequels as a lot more stories can be told with the main characters and the premises let us as viewers wonder how she got to do what she does and other patients she could have helped or might help in the future.

The actress playing her daughter also did a fantastic job.

Really enjoyed the movie.

First of all, when I first watched the official trailer of the movie I didn't like it and I didn't had high expectations about it. Eventually, it was better than I had imagined and I enjoyed it, a lot. The movie synopsis was kinda interesting, but it wasn't really innovative because there are too many movies similar to this one. The concept of the movie was kinda nice, but the storyline wasn't as well-explained as I would like and there were some plot holes during the movie. The main characters were very interesting, well-developed and likeable. The casting choices were nice and their performances were descent. I have to admit, it was a very scary, intense movie and there were many jumpscares. Also, the creature's appearance was very creepy and the practical effects were very well-done. The opening scene was kinda unpredictable and fast-paced, but it wasn't really promising. Gladly, the 2nd and 3rd act were both great and kinda terrifying. The ending was absolutely predictable, but I enjoyed it a lot. Last but not least, the cinematography and the score of the movie were both great. Overall, "It Feeds" was a nice supernatural horror film, very scary, intense and I would definitely recommend it to anyone!

Ah, a world premiere! It's been a while since I attended one of those. It is somewhat important (or, at least, more than welcome) for the first user-comment here on IMDb to be positive and encouraging others to go and see the title. Now, I know the title of my comment doesn't sound too enthusiastic, but -rest assured - "It Feeds" is a more than adequate, entertaining, and professionally made piece of monster/demonic horror from Canada!

Beautiful Ashley Green stars as Cynthia Winstone; - a psychiatrist with an authentic psychic gift/talent. You know how they say psychiatrists are trying to get inside your head? Well, Cythia does this literally! By putting her finger on the patient's forehead, she joins him/her on a mind and memories' trip to uncover repressed traumas. She protects herself, and her 17-year-old daughter Jordan, by not accepting cases that are too involving and mentally exhausting, because that's how she lost her husband. When a teenage girl with horrible scars on her body comes begging for help, claiming an evil entity is literally feeding on her from the inside out, Cythia simply knows the case will be pure hell. And she's right, of course!

The term "suspension of disbelief" seems to be invented for horror movies like these. It's an absurd plot, there aren't any explanations or backgrounds given, people make the dumbest decisions, police officers are beyond incompetent, etc. Etc. And yet, I can't be too harsh on "It Feeds" because writer/director Chad Archibald clearly didn't have the pretention of making an intelligent & psychological supernatural thriller, but merely a fast-paced and feisty B-horror with a nasty demon in it. And from that angle, Archibald succeeded, as his film is chock-full of jump scares (some of which are quite effective) and extremely loud and eerie sound effects. I watched "It Feeds" at the Brussels International Fantastic Film Festival, and at several times I saw people jump in their seats and hurl with fright. That's a mission accomplished then, I'd say.

Additional score of half a point because the animated end-credits are really cool.

The first thing you need to know about this supernatural horror movie is that it has a good ending. So you don't need to be afraid of watching something with a dead end like a lot of horror movies where the bad entity wins. In my book, a good ending in a horror movie earns an extra point in rating. This movie tells a story of Cynthia Winstone, a psychiatrist with a supernatural ability to enter other people's mind. The synopsis described her as a clairvoyant, although after watching her doing it, I think she's more like a witch. Cause she needed to chant in another language to do it. And man, I'm a sucker to movies about witches. So I added another star from my initial rating just for that. But don't worry about me being biased about this movie. Cause this one isn't like those lame indie horror movies. There's no half baked acting in it, no bad directing either. Not to mention, there's no moment of boredom like some horror movies that have too many insignificant dialogues. This movie is combining crime thriller with supernatural horror. It's very unique, in my opinion. Definitely more appealing than standard horror movies.

From my personal view, It Feeds (2025) is not just a typical horror film; it serves as a powerful metaphor for unresolved childhood trauma. The creature in the film symbolizes emotional scars that we try to suppress, yet they continue to haunt us in silence. It feeds on our isolation and fears, becoming stronger the more we ignore it. The film reveals that true healing comes only when we confront our pain head-on. If we continue to avoid these traumas, they can consume us, leading to despair, anxiety, or even suicidal thoughts. Ultimately, the key to survival and healing is self-confrontation and facing the inner darkness we've buried for years.
