    Eww, so gross.

    A seriously disturbing movie (made all the more disturbing by the fact that it's based on real events). I know a lot of films claim to be disturbing and aren't but this one actually is. It's also the first film in a long time where the ending caught me completely by surprise.

    Feed, (2004).

    WRITTEN BY: Kieran Galvin and Alex O'Loughlin.

    DIRECTED BY: Brett Leonard

    FEATURING: Alex O'Loughlin, Patrick Thompson, Gabby Millgate, and Jack Thompson

    PLOT: A psychopathic opportunist known as a "Feeder" enables bedridden morbidly obese women to grow even more grossly overweight to the point of becoming completely immobile. As their caretaker, he keeps them alive, but gradually feeds them to death. All the while, he films them for a pornographic website and runs a deadpool based on their life expectancy. An Australian detective hacks the website and tracks the webhost to Ohio where he then pursues him.

    I found Feed to be one of the most captivating and entertaining thriller/horror movies I have ever seen. Most people I know found it too disturbing and repulsive to watch, so I suspect it is indeed weird. Forgive if my perspective is off. I am a very sick girl in need of psychiatric help. (But that's OK -I have plenty of medicine.)

    COMMENTS: Feed is a mystery/suspense crime thriller about a detective trying to unravel the enigma of a disturbingly perverse Internet fetish network. In Feed, an Australian police investigator named Patrick Thompson (Jackson) travels to Ohio to find the source of what appears to be a clandestine Internet site for enthusiasts with a fetish for morbidly obese women, referred to as "gainers." The women seem to be held captive and are so fat that they are bedridden weighing 500 pounds plus. They are fed a steady high caloric diet by the site administrator, Michael Carter (O'Loughlin) known in the industry as a "feeder."

    The investigator tracks down and confronts the feeder at his residence, but cannot find his clandestine Internet set where the victims are confined. He does discover in the course of his investigation that the women featured on the site end up becoming missing persons.

    The detective is able to discern that Carter is literally feeding the women to death and feels compelled to locate the transmission site at any cost, regardless of US law. The grotesque nature of the case, as well as the effect of Carter forcing the detective to analyze his own psycho-sexual dysfunctions causes Thompson to begin losing his sanity. In pursuing the feeder, he begins breaking the law himself with no regard for the potential legal consequences of his actions.

    Carter is a sexually tormented psychopath who is always a step ahead of his nemesis. He taunts the investigator while carrying out a far more devious and twisted scheme than the Aussie cop could ever expect, including fattening up his own sister for presentation on the site. As Thompson becomes entangled in this world of perversion, both he and Carter begin to display inconsistent character traits. As their personalities disintegrate, they clash violently as a no-holds barred, high stakes cat and mouse pursuit ensues between them.

    Feed is a graphic, fictitious film inspired by actual contemporary fetishes and ends as perversely as it does unpredictably. It delves into such dark unpleasantries as homosexuality, cannibalism, mother-son incest, and brother-sister incest, with graphic depictions of sex and nude, extreme morbid obesity.

    WHAT THE CRITICS SAY: "The film is genuinely perverse throughout, packed with nudity and deviant sex, most of it in the form of scenes of masturbation and intercourse featuring horribly obese women . . . There are a few brief splatters of gore and violence towards the end, though most of the film?s nastiness comes through its frequent scenes of flying fat and vomit, a good deal of which is truly nauseating. As such, the whole affair has the queasy air of a freak show, though to be fair, Leonard clearly employs the material as a direct challenge to the viewer?s own prejudices and as a tool for exploring notions of societal acceptance and hypocrisy, and of the fine line between abuse and consent." -James Mudge, Beyond Hollywood

    Realmente interesante y hasta cierto punto perturbante, una produccion muy seria y totalmente recomendada por ser una historia que podria darse o que se da constantemente. Por otro lado si la ven recomiendo que no esten comiendo... podria ocacionarles ciertas molestias.

    Plenty of gross-out material for your viewing pleasure, enjoy being disturbed :)

    Disturbing, sick, badly acted, but you cant take your eyes away. And its a perverted sex/fetish suspense flick, not a horror.
