WOW. This is an epic low-budget indie. the dialog is spot-on. this movie is harrowing, disturbing, and humorous... all at the same time. brilliant script. this is what low-budget thriller/horrors should strive to be. nice little score too. A++++.

"Eat Me" is terrifying, sadistic, and devious... in the best way possible. This journey into the psyche of misfits is equal measures horrifying and hilarious, terrible and wonderful, brilliant and gut-wrenching. It dares to go places we never imagine a story would go to, and it does so without a shred of apology. This is progressive filmmaking at its finest: poignant, topical, and wildly thought-provoking.

Originally I was approached to have this reviewed on a horror site that I manage. After watching it, though, it seemed to be hard to place it in any one genre, and especially horror. This isn't because it is bad at all. Quite the opposite, actually. This film was pretty much all over the charts. It has a lot of tension and suspense, moments of thriller, drama, and some of horror, but they are all tied neatly into a story that is very realistic. Overall, this film was really well shot, well written, well directed, and the acting is phenomenal. It is also very powerful for having only two actors for the majority of the film.The story itself isn't really groundbreaking, but the portrayal of the characters and dialogue really shines. It's about a home intrusion that doesn't happen the way any of the parties involve think it will. The people who break into the house realize that the woman inside has taken a lot of pills, and passed out on the couch. One leaves, and the other is left there to watch over the situation. After coming to, she realizes what is happening and a lot of the film focuses on her and her captor in the house, and the interaction between them.It's hard to say much about the film without giving too much away, but although this isn't an outright horror film, there were some great horror elements. One was very reminiscent of something you would see in "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre", and another notable scene involving a knife had some very satisfying cinematography for horror fans. Also there is the real life horror element that is the home intrusion and everything that can happen along with it.All that being said, "Eat Me" is a very emotional film. It blends a lot of lines between genres, and in a very unexpected and unique way. While I wouldn't give it 10/10 as a straight horror film, it does deserve the rating based on the film quality as a whole, and the quality of the experience it provides which is nothing short of an amazing one, regardless of genre. For an indie film, this is a benchmark for quality, and I would highly recommend it to anyone.

An intense psychological horror, Eat Me is one of the rawest films I have ever had the pleasure of seeing. In a press release, Lars Von Trier is cited as an influence, and that could not be more apparent. The setting is contained and claustrophobic, and almost grows smaller throughout the film as the characters' backstories come pressing down upon them. The exploration of heavy and timely themes, such as sexual assault and suicide, through such a chaotic lens is one of the biggest strengths of the film. A cacophony as the soundtrack adds to its maniacal nature, and creates emotion deeper than the surface of the screen. The nuances of human nature arise, destroying the simple dichotomy of "good" and "evil" by blurring lines of physical and emotional traumas and their enactors. Overall, I think the film is fantastic, but definitely not for the faint of heart.

It is rare that theater transfers over to the screen in a way that just truly works. Jacqueline Wright's ambitious LA Weekly nominated play Eat Me is one of these amazing, yet rare examples of an adaptation that holds a candle to some of the best of cinema. Never straying away from authenticity, the movie's three person cast leads it to success simply through the heart that shines through with each of their performances. Despite it's difficult and hard to swallow subject matter, this movie handles it in the classiest of ways and is truly special. Eat Me is a must see!

Love this movie. It's not a comfortable watch, it deals with rape, suicide, torture and home invasion, but it manages to create a strong female character. It has dark comic touches combined with some scary scenes. The protagonist is an incredibly complex character. Both frightened and frightening, at the same time. Very difficult to pull off, but Eat Me does it.The lead, Jacqueline Wright, also wrote the movie. I cannot say enough about her performance. She is incredible and I hope to see more of her in future films.The direction is great. Lots of great use of colors, space and it has more than a few of what I thought were "tributes" to some classic horror films. Like I said, not an easy watch, but worth it for Jacqueline Wright's performance. Highly recommended

Love this frigg'n movie. unlike anything i've ever seen. I'M SERIOUs -- the turns are unexpected. If you think this is just your average horror movie you will be blown away but the depth and power of it's message.

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.

It's like seeing something very beautiful and dangerous in the reflection of a deep pothole filled with rain. it is raw and ugly at times and also gorgeous, ruthful, brave, soulful and filled with painful purpose. if you get past the discomfort of the initial encounter and make it to the next moment of fresh air, the film will reward you with a woman reborn. this story is powerful and poetic while being laugh out funny at times. there is comedy in the telling and the wonderful score gives strength to those moments. the actors are super brave and their vulnerability, humor and angst are very much alive in the characters. the director captures the moments very well. the movement of the camera, the color palette, the design, the transitions all work wonderfully. great work all.

This is one amazing movie. IT's so different than standard movies - so refreshing. At times it's hard to watch but it is so powerful and makes you think. The acting is tremendous. It handles difficult topics in an interesting way. it's worth a watch!

Awesome. JACQUEline Wright is a force of nature.

People! There is nothing like this. NOTHING. Brutal. Funny. Brave. Devastating. Gripping. Repellent. Transcendent. Uncomfortable. As my students know, the quality I most admire in actors is their willingness to stay uncomfortable, and Jacqueline Wright's acting and writing exemplifies the rewards of going there. Go. Buckle up, but go.

Compelling, PRIMAL, shocking and at times VERY FUNNY! Timely as hell in this "Me Too" Movement. Highly recommend! First part of the movie is brutal, violent and hard to watch, but after that it shifts and is totaly worth it! Never seen anything like it. It was damn powerful.

Amazing movie! highly recommend! dark and moving, amazing acting and direction.

As a tour-de-force howl of primal, damaged rage, it contributes in its own strange way to the current era of public reckoning and testy healing.
