  Do you know what Feederism mean?
  
  Many of you have probably never heard of this film before as did I til Chris brought it to my attention a couple of months ago. It's a shame that so many fantastic films get swept under the carpet while atrocious films get all the glory. (Take 80% of the horror remakes we've been forced to endure for example). Though this film is not so great it really bothers me when a unique and clever film such as "Feed" comes and goes almost without a trace. So here I am, doing my part to get this film the notoriety and respect it deserves. When it comes to fresh material, "Feed" is what I'd imagine it would feel like if someone was intentionally drowning you until the point where every red-blood cell in your body was screaming for oxygen. But a split second before you expire, they lift your head into the fresh air and the initial breath is so refreshing you feel euphoric.
  
  "Feed" is based on an underground sexual fetish known as "feederism." Feederism is a sexual fetish (specifically a type of body alteration fetishism), centered on the practice of eating large amounts of food. The feeder provides the gainer with an abundant supply of food, either to encourage weight gain or simply for delight in the act of feeding. The feeder is typically more dominant, while the gainer is often more submissive, although this is not always the case. The fetish caters to those who have fantasies of growing fatter, or feeding another. O'Loughlin plays the role of Michael Carter, a man who runs a website where women are fed until they are unable to move or care for themselves and participates sexual acts with these women. Thompson plays the role of Detective Phillip Jackson, a veteran of cyberporn investigations who has discovered something terribly wrong is happening and is determined to find out what is hidden within the pages of the grotesque website.
  
  I challenge anyone to try and convince me that a horror plot based on "feederism" isn't original and (lets face it) intriguing. We've been bombarded with hoards of zombies, increasingly watered down slashers and poltergeists for some time now and it's about time someone stepped up to the plate to deliver something new and original. (No pun intended).The acting in "Feed" is decent but not that great. Most notably, Alex O'Loughlin and Patrick Thompson, I read that they actually came up with the idea for the film.
  
  This movie had left me half full because it had so much room for improvement. The ending will be unforeseen to a lot of viewers but that couldn't make up for the lost that I already encountered either way its still worth a watch.

  Food for discussion
  
  This is a shocking movie, but definitely worth seeing if you want material for discussion on what film is or should be about and what its purposes can or should be.

  Great Movie Experience-But Different
  
  If you love indie type films and love Alex O'Loughlin's acting you will enjoy this different film. It can be disturbing in a number of ways because of the unusual subject matter, but if you can get past all that and watch the characters develope and try to understand that there is very little differences between the two main characters you will love it, in an odd way! I believe Alex is one of the best new actors emerging on the scene today and he really makes you believe he is Michael and he owns the screen when he is on it!....

  Tipping the scale with our own excesses
  
  Feed takes a look at excess to the extreme. You've got "feeders" and "gainers", fat-admiring men and obese women. This relationship presents a level of subjugation but there's also some co-dependency that is shocking and disturbing.
  The story rolls out like any basic crime-thriller, adding a thick level of depravity. One man might be force-feeding women to death. There is lots of nudity and wretched eating habits that might make you lose your appetite. Plus there is a swift decline into psychological bedlam that keeps things somewhat interesting.
  This movie made me think about how humanity has turned our planet into a wastebasket. That pretty much makes us the trash. As a whole, we've gotten spoiled and lazy with our comforts and so called "needs". Automobiles, fast food, video games, internet, television...we are basically setup for obesity with our pampered lifestyle. This story might convince you to cut back on your own indulgences.
