Novella McClure is not having a great life. She's an aspiring actress who hasn't landed a role in three years, she's having to compete with younger and more desirable actresses in casting calls, she is on the verge of being evicted from her tiny apartment, and her best friend might be a psychopath. As stresses pile up one after another, Novella turns her emotions and self-doubts inward, leading to a grotesque habit: Eating her own flesh.Eat is a 2014 dark comedy/horror/drama film, the first feature-length film by Jimmy Weber, and stars Meggie Maddock, Ali Francis, and Maru Garcia. | |

Splatter Horror: Oh yeah. This movie is messy as hell once the autocannibalism starts up. | |

Fingore: Novella's habit of sucking her thumb in response to stress eventually graduates to showing on the side of her thumbnail until she draws blood. | |

Self-Harm | |
| Eat 2014 / int_22a59b45 | comment |
Self-Harm: A variant here; eating herself does relieve her stress in the short term, but she feels awful later and treats it as a dirty secret. | |

Mistaken for Suicidal | |
| Eat 2014 / int_622d4676 | comment |
Mistaken for Suicidal: Novella chews a hangnail so badly in heavy traffic that she rips a narrow strip of skin up the side of her forearm, drawing a lot of blood. She wakes up in a hospital with her forearm heavily bandaged and with the doctors wanting to put her on a suicide watch. | |

| Eat 2014 / int_68f6e811 | comment |
Made of Plasticine: Novella bites chunks of flesh off her arms and foot with stomach-churning ease, but the topper is when all the flesh comes off her big toe in one large piece | |

Bait-and-Switch: When Dr. Simon asks Novella out to dinner, Novella's nervous reaction suggests she might start chewing on herself again, and the next shot shows her tearing a large mouthful of meat... from her dinner with Dr. Simon. | |

| Eat 2014 / int_cdad4b25 | comment |
Toxic Friend Influence: Candice tries to help Novella in ways that actually make things worse, ranging from encouraging her to keep following her dreams even though Novella is broke and can't find an acting job, to hunting down and killing Dr. Simon and dragging his corpse back for Novella to chew on when she misunderstands the degree of Novella's cannibalism. | |
