It's a startling depiction of bonding that will chill you and move you in equal measures.

Rated: 3/5

B-Sides & Badlands

When I Consume You can be read quite literally (a crime thriller both in style and structure) or something far more allegorical, depicting addiction with a fang-toothed precision.

Rated: 4/5

It’s powerful, heartbreaking, and hopeful at the end when Wilson survives and fights back against the misfortune monster in their childhood.

But Why Tho? A Geek Community

When I Consume You clocks in at a brisk 92 minutes, but you feel the latter end lag a bit more than you should. Perry Blackshear does manage to stick the landing, though, and gives us a bittersweet yet satisfying ending. There’s a lot to enjoy here...

Rated: 8.5/10

Culture Mix

When I Consume You is an effectively atmospheric horror movie with a story that unfolds in layers. This brooding film, which is about a brother and a sister plagued by a mysterious stalker, is not what it might first appear to be to some viewers.
