What makes it different from others?

Thanks for the memories!

Admirable film.

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

Now, this is what I call REAL horror! As far as I'm concerned, it doesn't take tons of blood and endless butchery to horrify, it just takes the right story and the right atmosphere. This film has both, and terrifically well done, in spite of the small, indie production. The idea, besides, that what we see on screen does really happen, maybe behind the walls of your neighbor, only adds to the horror.I won't spoil anything because this movie must be enjoyed from start to finish, there is everything here: psychopathy, deep web, cannibalism, and a constant, impending sick feeling which will unnerve you for the whole duration and after the end. Don't miss it.

In the last few years, Alex O'Loughlin has been all over TV in the USA, however FEED was his "Good Will Hunting". O'Loughlin helped write/create and star in this film, which I don't mind saying, caught me totally off guard. Bored and surfing Netflix one day, I happened upon this, clicked Play and spent the next few hours watching some of the strangest things I've ever seen in a movie. Of course FEED isn't studio-budget quality but then again, it wasn't a studio film. I thought the actors did great in their roles and even though I know nothing about the Feeder/Gainer lifestyle, I found them to be believable. If you can stand watching a man eat his own body parts and if you like weird, FEED is worth a watch.

Feed starts in Sydney in Australia where computer expert Phillip Jackson (producer Patrick Thompson) works for the police investigating sex crimes online, while browsing the internet Jackson finds a website called Feederx where the owner force feeds a woman named Deidre (Gabby Millgate) who has become incredibly fat. Jackson feels that force feeding someone is illegal as is starving someone & manages to discover that Feederx is run by Michael Carter (producer Alex O'Loughlin) in the city of Toledo in Ohio. Jackson cannot get official sanction to go after Carter so takes it upon himself to investigate the site & discovers that people are betting online on when Deidre will die from obesity & finds out that several other obese woman who featured on the website are now listed as missing. Jackson thinks Carter is feeding women to death & making money out of it through his website, Jackson has to go it alone in order to stop Carter...This Australian production was directed by Brett Leonard this is not so much a horror film as a psychological drama that revolves around rather unpleasant events, although Feed has been getting lots of positive reviews I have to say while it's well put together I didn't really like it that much. Based on the supposed underground culture & fetish of people being forced fed until they die Feed tries hard to be more than just a simple exploitation film, the only person who kills anyone on screen is the supposed hero the cop & Deidre the obese woman is seen as being consensual with what is happening to her & there are several speeches by Carter about how he is letting Deidre be free what she wants to be & that he loves her for what she is without having to conform to societies perception of beauty. Carter tries to convince Jackson that what he is doing is justified & in a perverted way right but I don't really buy into the whole scenario & I have never heard of this feederism fetish at all, sure I've heard of a fetish for fat people but never the act of feeding someone so they get fat. Is there any evidence that a single case has ever been reported? Surely no-one would publicise it to the extent of putting it online? At 96 minutes long it does drag & it does take it's time to try & flesh out it's character's & themes but as I said it's so obscure & hard to believe that to me Feed is as much fantasy as Lord of the Rings. There are a few plot holes too, why would an Australian detective travel to the US to investigate a crime? What was his motivation? Surely there's plenty of crime to investigate & solve in Australia? Who paid for this trip? Didn't anyone else notice all these fat people disappearing before & put two & two together? The people who use the Feederx website are never seen, Carter's customers are never represented which is surely a missed opportunity.Shot mainly in Australia which doubles for Germany & Ohio in the US at times & it's very unconvincing. The film has various colour schemes with outdoor shots filmed in bright earthy colours while indoors the makers use cold blues & greys. Whether you find this disgusting will depend on your opinion of obese people, now I don't want to offend anyone here but seeing the grossly obese Deidre lying almost naked on a bed is absolutely abhorrent to me & made me feel sick. Just the image of a grossly obese woman is enough to turn my stomach, nothing that happens to her bothers me particularly but it's just such a horrible image with flabby skin, a huge stomach with stretched belly button, she has more chins than a Chinese phone book, her bingo wings are foul & during the climax she constantly shouts & screams which becomes very annoying. One person is shot & there's a brief reenactment of a real life case in Germany where two men who met each other on the internet meet up with one eating the flesh of the other but otherwise there's no blood or gore here. The whole film has an eating motif, almost every scene contains food or fat or someone eating or reference to it & the connection between food & sex is also a constant theme.The whole thing has a decent look & it has decent production values, the editing & photography are nice enough I suppose but there's no real style here. The acting is alright but nothing amazing.Feed is a film that has had lots of positive reviews but I have yet to read one that doesn't criticize it as well for at least some of the issues that I have raised, I can appreciate that it's well put together & does try to get into the mind of the psycho with reasonable success.

It was gruesome and full of strange oddities. The basic plot of a man force feeding women to death is the basic key of desire to want to watch this movie. Well, besides the crime investigator, and the hardcore sex, thats basically what you see in this movie. A woman being fattened up until she's so morbidly obese that she cannot live on her own, and is basically bet on for how huge she can get and how long she will stay alive as an extremely fat woman. It was enough to send chills down my spine, watching 9/10th's of this movie. If you wanted to watch something that scars you for a while, then in that case I deeply suggest you stay out of watching this movie!Evren Buyruk
