Eat
Directed by Jimmy Webber
Novella McClure is like most struggling actresses in Los Angeles: she’s in her early 30s, her fake name sounded cooler ten years ago, and she hasn’t landed a role in three years. To top it all off, she’s developed a disturbing habit of eating her own flesh. Novella desperately tries to hide her strange condition from her motherly landlord, Eesha, and somewhat psychopathic best friend, Candice, but her body and mind continue to deteriorate in the depressing world of failed auditions and sketchy night clubs. Can a romantic relationship with her psychiatrist prevent her from self destruction? Or will her fatal habit continue to eat away at her?
A struggling actress discovers she has developed a taste for her own flesh.
Cast: Meggie Maddock, Ali Frances, Jeremy Make, Maru Garcia, Dakota Pike

It's cheesy B-grade body horror that's an enjoyable watch. Will make you squirm.
Feels like a fever dream/nightmare but in a weirdly good way? Avoid if you don't do body horror.
The self-chomping gore in the trailer is a pretty good indication – if you can't take that, you won't be able to take this film. Intense and involving overall, and with unexpected heart (no pun intended). The end seemed off-target, but overall, a good body horror movie which will make you feel for actresses trying to make it in LA. Plus it made me ill many times! And that doesn't happen often.
I loved it! The cheesiness made it even better!
Not bad, since its got an unusal storyline, all I kept thinking is how does this chick has such a high pain threshold! haha
