The greatest movie ever made..!

Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.

Best movie ever!

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

Feed is one of those flicks that you must have seen. And not for the entertaining or suspense because it isn't an excellent flick but it will surely shock you. The effects used for the fat lady just looks so real but it isn't of course. The story is rather simple, one do feeds fat girls to make them fatter because he has a trauma as a child with his mother. But when a copper tracks him down he's after him but it is of course not all that easy because people are allowed naturally to feed others. So we do follow the cop doing research over the web, and we do see shocking images. I know that a lot were shocked watching Feed. I must say that it's better to leave food in the kitchen because the possibility to vomit is rather high seeing this shocker. Weird flick.Gore 0/5 Nudity 1,5/5 Effects 3/5 Story 3/5 Comedy 0/5

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.

After discovering Alex O'Loughlin on American TV I started to collect all of his work, and FEED was the first movie I found. I rented it at Blockbuster and after watching it there was no way I was going to give it back. I bought it. Alex and his costar Patrick Thompson came up with the idea for a thriller about feeders and gainers after seeing a documentary about it on TV. They presented the idea to Brett Leonard (almost everyone in the cast of FEED was in Brett's movie "Man-Thing") and it took off from there. They made this movie in 28 days on an extremely low budget, and I love it. I have read and heard so many different opinions of this movie, and apparently many people missed the fact that this was supposed to be not only a thriller but a very dark comedy as well. Some of the scenes make me laugh out loud. Alex O'Loughlin shows off his acting skills and diversity as Michael and he and Gabby Millgate (a comedic actress) play off of one another so well. This was Patrick Thompson's first lead in a film and I think he did a great job. The entire cast was excellent. If you are going to watch the DVD for the first time, watch some of the extras - like "FEED in Philly". Melissa Beauford and Alex O. answer questions from the audience. It is not only quite entertaining but it explains many things about the movie and how it was made. I have many different versions of the DVD from around the world now, and I love the UK version, as it has the option to watch the movie with a voice over commentary by Brett Leonard. He explains how due to the low budget they actually did some scenes in restaurants at rush hour and on the street - and actually were chased by Asian pimps in the scene where Phillip is walking through the red light district. They thought they were cops. There are so many more fascinating stories about the making of the film, and Brett has a wonderful sense of humor. The beginning scene is based on a true story of a man who placed an ad on the internet for someone who wanted to die by being eaten - 100 people responded and one man actually went through with it. Everything in that scene was based on reality except for the part where Phillip comes in. The police in Germany saw it all on tape but they never came in and busted them like that. The rest of the movie compares the screwed up life of Phillip and Abbie to the lives of Michael and Dierdre. The first part of the film shows a realistic view of the lives of feeders and gainers, and the rest is just "making a movie" as Melissa Beauford said. This film is interesting, to say the least, very funny at times, and every time I watch it I see something I didn't notice before. Anyone with an open mind and a sense of humor will enjoy this movie. The entire cast is fantastic, but Alex O'Loughlin shines as Michael. His American accent is perfect. In Brett's commentary he said that Alex is "a movie star". I couldn't agree more. Oh - I have to mention the fat suit. They did such a great job on it, many people think that Gabby is really 602 pounds! I think the main reason that some people think this film is so gross is because it shows a handsome and fit young man and a 602 pound woman getting off on each other. I bet that if it had been a 105 pound woman, those people would not have reacted the same way. Another thing I enjoyed in FEED is the soundtrack - it is fun and really rocks. I bought the CD and love it. Well, I love this movie. Buy it.
