A new body horror film, Feed, is set to debut at the American Film Market, starring and produced by Rosamund Pike. Directed by Leslye Headland and written by Daniella Isaacs, the movie is inspired by the 2022 Finnish film Hatching.
Feed tells a twisted mother-daughter story focused on parental ambition and the illusion of protection. Pike plays Erin, a mother who gives her tween daughter a collagen supplement to achieve influencer stardom. The daughter's rapid rise to fame is accompanied by a disturbing, monstrous transformation.
Pike expressed her desire to explore societal obsessions with social media and self-improvement, as well as the darker aspects of modern motherhood. She noted that the film examines various appetites: those of online communities, the social media landscape, a mother for her daughter's success, and a teenager hungry for dominance.
Director Leslye Headland praised Daniella Isaacs' audacious script and Rosamund Pike's bold acting. The film, produced by Pike's Primitive Streak banner along with others, delves into contemporary fears surrounding the digital world and its impact on parents and children.
