HOLY COW am I excited for this episode or what! Eat Me is an amazingly powerful film from experienced playwright and stage actress Jacqueline Wright. We are all truly blessed by her decision to bring both her writing and acting talents to the screen, as she stars in this very small cast. The premise is relatively straightforward. A suicidal woman and a violent home intruder test the limits of human endurance and the boundaries of forgiveness over the course of one torturous night. The result is a single-location home invasion nightmare with shocking, visceral violence and jaw-dropping performances.
I first came across Eat Me when I reviewed it for Modern Horrors back in 2018, and got acquainted with Jacqueline not long after that when I interviewed her around the time of the movie's release. Links to the review and that original interview are below. I'm so glad I had a chance to catch up with her again, so we could look back on how much the world has changed in just a few short years, and how the film may be received differently now. But it's message is just as poignant as ever.
You can find Eat Me to rent or purchase on most digital platforms, and on DVD from Amazon. Links are below. You can also find Jacqueline online at @jacquelinewrite.
