Foodie :: Press


	Dana Goodyear - Culture Desk - The New Yorker “Cannibalism - whether unintentional, deliberate (as with the Donner Party, the Uruguayan rugby team, and scores of sailors in extremis) or plain murderous (the recent incident in Florida) - represents the most troubling extreme of our omnivorous condition. Just because we can, will we… Bourdain - or maybe Tim Curry - is the spirit guide of the short satire, Foodie, which I watched the other day … ”

	It would seem Foodie has it's very own vlogger. Check out what this guy has to say about Foodie.

	Victoria Bouloubasis - The Independent Weekly “Foodie, a new short film written by Durham resident Eryk Pruitt, bypasses the idea of cannibalism as an uneasy survival tactic. Instead, the 29-minute dark comedy-horror flick explores an obsessive, underground sect of foodies who dine on humans in the most gourmet and trendy of manners… ”

Cliff Bellamy - The Herald Sun “In Foodie, a short film written by Eryk Pruitt and directed by Christopher G. Moore, Mueller (played by Nick Karner) is invited to an elite food gathering at Kitchen X. To give away much more of the plot would spoil the effect of this hilarious, black-humored horror-satire. The bloggers, chefs and hangers-on at Kitchen X argue the definition of “bacon” vs. “pork bellies,” and use terms like “compelling flavors” and “botanicals” with abandon. Their food obsession is the key to the humor in Foodie … ”

The Bleeding Dead “…Foodie is a quirky, albeit uneasy film about a food lover's nightmare… ”

Amanda Maclaren - Durham Magazine “…The movie was filled with plenty of cringe-worthy scenes in which the tagline of the film, “You Are What You Eat,” became all too literal. Yet I wasn't focused so much on the gore as I was on the individual characters, each of them an extreme foodie in one way or another, and the humor that tied it all together, which was writer and producer Eryk Pruitt's main inspiration for the film … ”

Byron Woods - Contributing Editor, Live Arts - The Independent Weekly “It was a great night for regional theater at the local debut of Foodie. Proud of all the (un)usual suspects: Jeff Alguire, David Berberian, Tracey Coppedge, Jenn Evans, Anthony Hughes, John Jimerson, Nick Karner and droll, dry Meredith Sause. Greetings to Gilly Conklin, Alena Koch and Emlee Vassilos. Plus cameo by spider. Lest we forget. Talent? Yeah, we've got that… Looking forward to Tracey and John's upcoming remake of Adam Ant's “Beat My Guest.” The new “fun couple” of 2012?”

Foodie's first review by HorrorSociety.com “ …Foodie is cohesively one of the best short films I’ve seen in a while. In just under a half hour this flick was able to pull off what some films can’t pull off in an hour and a half. Great production, great directing, great writing, great acting, great effects…and a couple interesting plot twists I did NOT see coming. Oh, and it did have a couple of funny moments. I mean what more could you ask for? If you have the chance to see Foodie, take it! I promise you… You will eat it all up!...”
