Feed (2005)
A critic from horror-sci fi-gore entity Fangoria called it "one of the sickest films i have ever seen." The quote is on the cover of the DVD. Really? Come on man, you're from Fangoria and you think a guy feeding a woman is one of the sickest? I mean, surely you've seen Dead Alive. Anyways, there are indeed a few sick things happening in this lowish budget movie. The physically fit but mentally tormented Phillip feeds his immobile woman the fat from a previous victim--yes, the unwavering cop from Australia has uncovered his masterplan of feeding them to death, while losers on the internet place their bets. Now, the question as to why a cop from Australia needs to go to the other side of the world to the middle of the United States is besides the point. Don't bother him, he's got his own psychological sex issues, to which Feed gives almost as much attention. Production value wise, Feed isn't anything special. This is largely due to the obese woman not being taken seriously, as her awful speaking lines potray her as helpless and dumb, plus an obvious "fatsuit" or whatever kind of latex they put on her. It's nice that this "fetish" called "feederism" (which will be examined further at fat aint bad) gets its own movie. The problem with this movie--and it's a HUGE problem, no pun intended--is that, to the unintiated, it gives feederism a bad name. Death by obesity is never the goal of a feeder. There's a very small percentage into immobility but that is far from the "norm" in this fetish "community". The act of feeding your "partner" is usually a hundred times more innocent, and varies greatly from person to person. Feed only looks at an extreme case of one person effed up in the head. And this guy is one sick f*ck. --weigh cool
