Eat poster

Released in 2014, Eat is a thriller, drama and horror film directed by Jimmy Weber, running about 92 minutes. “The story of a girl who finds herself - and then eats herself” — that tagline sets the tone.

What it’s about. 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?

Who’s in it. Eat stars Meggie Maddock as Novella McClure, Dakota Pike as Tracy, Ali Francis as Candice and Maru Garcia as Eesha, among others.

How it landed. With an audience score of 5.3/10, Eat has proved divisive with audiences.
