Swallow - Official Trailer I HD I IFC Films

Opening in theaters and VOD March 6
Directed by: Carlo Mirabella-Davis
Starring: Haley Bennett, Austin Stowell, Denis O'Hare & Elizabeth Marvel
On the surface, Hunter (Haley Bennett) appears to have it all. A newly pregnant housewife, she seems content to spend her time tending to an immaculate home and doting on her Ken-doll husband, Richie (Austin Stowell). However, as the pressure to meet her controlling in-laws and husband’s rigid expectations mounts, cracks begin to appear in her carefully created facade. Hunter develops a dangerous habit, and a dark secret from her past seeps out in the form of a disorder called pica - a condition that has her compulsively swallowing inedible, and oftentimes life-threatening, objects. A provocative and squirm-inducing psychological thriller, SWALLOW follows one woman’s unraveling as she struggles to reclaim independence in the face of an oppressive system by whatever means possible.

If anyone is struggling with something similar to this character: *this is a real eating disorder.* It’s called pica. It can be incredibly dangerous, but it’s also diagnosable and treatable. Please seek help!! You can drop this habit. You will be okay.

[@kyrinky]

I just like to swallow a bunch of alcohol everyday. I'll just wake up and start swallowing whiskey, 'til I go to sleep. So glad there's a name for my condition, pica. : )

[@peppermintcookie5531]

I never had pica from my childhood until today. Though I imagine myself swallowing inedible objects just to relieve myself from the stress of my family, my life, school, and my future.

[@Lady_Vengeance]

a Are you ok?

[@HuongTran-jg7tw]

I can't believe how real the reaction, the lines, the development of character's psychology are. I had an issue with control too (not about eating weird stuff) and I was in denial that it was a big deal. It happened during the time when I was lonely and not have much work to occupy myself too. I felt out of control, and crave to be in control, so I started adopting obsessive behavior that even I myself cannot fathom, but I don't want anyone to find out. When I finally plugged up the courage to reach out for help, I thought everyone was just being overdramatic but am now in therapy to fix my disorder. Watching this is pretty uneasy because I feel like being called out. Please, anyone with any type of mental illness, reaching out and vocalize your fear, obsession, disorder to your trusted one will be the milestone that can change your miserable life. So speak up, you are stronger than whatever the "urge" in your head is telling you to do.

[@elizabethhearn6085]

proud of you for speaking up. I too had an issue i couldnt control. Last year I became an alcohol. Honestly, I cant remember alot of the year but things I do remember are terrible fights, crying myself to sleep, unintentionally hurt the ones I love but I never noticed how bizarre I was acting until I did something awful. It took me a long time to recover and to this day Im still not 100% healed but am in a much better place. Its just awful that a huge amount of people dont notice whats happening to them either until it is too late or to the point theyve lost so much. Im happy you saught out help. It takes alot of strength. I never went to therapy so I have alot of unhealed trauma and anger issues but I feel everyday I am improving although occasionally I will have some breakdowns. Proud of you, keep going!❤

[@simgrmemaj8075]

The film is a major eye roll in the first half hour because you’re set up to think it’s going to be about a poor unappreciated 50s housewife (which she’s dressed like even though this is set in modern day) but then she lies to everyone then pouts about it- yet she stays because she wants to keep living on this mans dime. Otherwise why stay? She’s the villain and bc the movie follows the villain some people think it’s interesting. This movie has a ton of flaws and most of all there’s nothing empowering to women about being a meek liar.

[@notleonard]

Incredible film, just watched it. It isn't Fincher-like, that's misleading. It's not really a thriller, it's more of a psychological case study. Trying to understand how a person becomes the way that she is, how a person could enjoy a particular way of hurting herself. And how that ripples outward through the circles of people that are in her world. Start to finish, large moments to small details, totally brilliant.

[@allnamesaretaken]

The movie is much better than the trailer. Its a very odd and interesting drama with first class acting and some powerful moments with a plot that goes deeper than pica. Because of the mislabelling by IMDB claiming that this movie was a horror, I was expecting her to descend into insanity and start eating people in true horror fashion but nothing of the sort happens because as Rotten Tomatoes has correctly labelled this movie, its a Drama and Mystery Suspense movie. I don't want to give too much away but the ending is probably going shock some people and divide opinion but thinking back, the movie was always going to lead to this conclusion.

[@MrFearlesskiller]

But honestly why would the ending shock people. Honestly I was expecting an horror movie and the movie was kinda eh

[@tobeornottobe9689]

I had pica... I used to put 'metal,' and 'plastic' in my mouth all the time, usually without realizing (family would always say "spit that out!"). It really was dangerous to suddenly realize I had put a push pin or bobby pin in my mouth, but it didn't make me want to swallow it. Mostly I just wanted to "chew" on plastic or metal textures, and ice too. I've chewed all those items, but I don't think I'll be watching this. It's not that common in people, mostly it's a disorder for dogs.

[@pandabearmadness6263]

Man what a fucking horrible movie in the best sense. I'm pretty emotional person and the performance Haley Bennett had in this movie really fucked me up. The movie is shot so beautifully, i really felt like i was experiencing exactly what it feels like in real life to go through someone who starts doing this, from understanding why she likes swallowing. I've never felt so bad for a character in a movie as i felt for this girl. Many scenes of the poor girl dealing with her husband's family, to her descent into madness. I applaud the director because it's unlike any horror film I've seen, and it's very effective at terrifying me but having very different feeling than what I'm usually accustomed to. Overall i put this in my all time horror movie list. I really can't praise Haley Bennett performance enough. This movie is wonderfully horrible, disgusting, traumatic. With a ending that filled me with hope. for the death of a baby lol, i felt so liberated at the end i chuckled. I can't stop laughing because that movie was painful to watch and my last emotion from this movie is a uplifting feeling. I felt the director pulled the carpet from underneath me. That's another wonderful aspect of the movie is the ending. Fucking crazy
