An Exercise In Nonsense

A different way of telling a story

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

Feed is a disturbing psychological thriller which combines gruesome special effects with unsettling character studies of both its protagonist and its villain. What could easily have been a lame "shock" movie revolving around the feeder fetish becomes a compelling thriller.The film opens with an Australian police officer on an internet detail exposing an Armin Meiewes type case of cannibalism-shown in borderline nauseating detail. He soon latches onto another case as he finds a site showing morbidly obese women being fed for sexual gratification. He soon grows obsessed with the site, suspecting something far more sinister than fetish porn.The film succeeds largely on the strength of Alex O'Laughlin's performance as Michael, the man running the site. He makes a disturbingly convincing sociopath. The police officer is also a disturbing character, with the film exploring what the clichéd "rogue cop" character would be like in the real world. The performances are complemented by excellent and disgusting special effects.The film suffers from a weak, unrealistic ending that raises too many questions. Still, if you have a strong stomach, Feed is well worth watching.

Brett Leonard addresses the issue of feederism in this tense disturbing thriller where Michael Carter (Alex O'Loughlin) finds sexual satisfaction in overfeeding women. However, cybercrime investigator Phillip Jackson (Patrick Thompson) suspects that Carter feeds them to death. While he investigates, he uncovers disturbing facts and is confronted with his own demon. With the exception of a few plot holes, 'Feed' is very well-written. The research is exceptionally well done. It provides frightening insight into the world of feeders. In addition, to feederism, the writers tackle issues such as child abuse, incest, sadism and masochism. The acting is very good. O'Loughlin and Thompson are excellent. The tension that is built in their scenes when Carter and Jackson meet face to face is intense and chilling. Brett Leonard's direction is quite weak. At times, there's a B movie feel. Some scenes appear sloppily shot. If it weren't for the interesting theme, strong acting and writing, this could have ended up messy. As disturbing as this film is to watch, it's dark, insightful and loaded with suspense.

A preliminary warning here - this film may not be for everyone.If you are a bit squeamish about various aspects of human physiology in the extreme, you might want to reconsider before viewing this item.Having said that, however, I will give credit where it's due.This is certainly one of the more original screen plays I have ever seen, and I've seen my share of quirky, fringe occupants of the horror / suspense / weird sci-fi genre'.The closest comparison that comes to mind, though it's plot and situations are quite different, is another quirky example of this sort of genre', "Hunger".Both of these films are quite terrifying and grotesque in their own way, but Feed embarks into new unexplored territory.As I said, for originality, this piece can rightfully claim to be unique, to say the least.The acting has its highs and lows, some well done, other parts a bit more . . . experimental, though the character development is interesting, particularly as it relates to the villain perpetrator's bizarre childhood which led him to his current state of depraved lunacy.And I will admit, the ending was a perfect fate, as it were, to be encountered by said villain.Parting thoughts - If you like a really, really . . . really different sort of bizarre quasi horror film with a twist, you'll definitely be entertained, though I suggest you do not want to be eating, anything, at all, while watching this . . . seriously.

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.
