#84 - Feed (2005) Review



Feed (2005), Brett Leonard
0.5/5

This Australian production focusing on feederism and cannibalism fetishes is not only a terrible horror film, but perhaps one of the worst films I've ever seen. Whether it's the terrible hollow acting, the nonsensical and illogical plot that just seems to get worse or the gratuitous sex and grotesque imagery of feeder porn, it is just really bad. It doesn't seem to have any redeemable features, as the cinematography is mostly terrible with strange angles that perhaps were meant to be "artistic" and are instead just distracting. The only exceptions are there are some interesting ideas and subjectmatter focusing on society's obsessions with thinness and narcissism. Also Alex O'Loughlin (who plays Michael) gives a good creepy performance and is the stand out of this poor film. There are some interesting elements to this film, but sadly the writing and acting is so bad it fails to bring any of them to fruition, instead floundering in mediocre gross out and almost television style "drama". Overall a terrible film and painful to watch.
