We have the new sales trailer for the gory body horror ‘Eat’, currently being shopped around at the Cannes Film Market. The film marks the first feature from Colorado based group known as Pretty People Pictures. While this is their first feature, the group is familiar with body horror as can be seen in the short film Incubator (available in our shorts section).
Synopsis:
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?
Fans of the body horror have been seeing a recent surge in quality entries into that sub-genre with the likes of Contracted, Afflicted, Thanatomophose, and Antiviral. Perhaps we will be adding Eat to that list soon.
