Phillip is no stranger to debauchery. In his time as an internet investigator, the relatively hot shot cyber cop has stumbled across some pretty repulsive fetishes. Upon learning of a bizarre new world of erotica in which men known as "feeders" seek out morbidly obese women known as "gainers," Phillip is discovers that one particularly exceptional "gainer" has gone missing after topping the scales at 600 pounds. When further investigation reveals that the website was created on Toledo, Ohio, the determined investigator books a flight to the Buckeye state against the wishes of his superior. As a result of his insubordinance, Phillip is fired from his job and forced to continue the investigation on his own watch, and at his own risk. Later, after discovering the horrific true nature of the "feeder" subculture, Phillip finds himself assuming the role of avenger as his sanity plunges into the darkest depths of despair. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Critic Reviews
-
Anton Bitel, Film4
Deeply shocking and darkly funny, Feed slowly brings its satire of consumerism and control to the boil, before ramming it right down the throat.
-
Don Willmott, Filmcritic.com
a piece of laughable exploitation that is actually trying to condemn exploitation even as it exploits
-
Rich Cline, Shadows on the Wall
Gleefully frightens and grosses out its audience every way imaginable.
-
Scott Weinberg, eFilmCritic.com
As Feed muddles through its outlandishly stupid premise, the thing just gets uglier instead of more intense, and sillier instead of more exciting.
