Novella McClure is like most struggling actresses in Los Angeles: she's in her early 30s, her fake name sounded cooler ten years ago, and she hasn't landed a role in three years. To top it all off, she's developed a disturbing habit of eating her own flesh. Novella desperately tries to hide her strange condition from her motherly landlord, Eesha, and somewhat psychopathic best friend, Candice, but her body and mind continue to deteriorate in the depressing world of failed auditions and sketchy night clubs. Can a romantic relationship with her psychiatrist prevent her from self destruction? Or will her fatal habit continue to eat away at her?

My quick rating - 4,9/10. Well, the horror here is the habit this chick has. The fairly well played Novella (Meggie Maddock) eats her own skin when she gets nervous or stressed. I don't mean she nibbles her fingernails btw. She literally eats her skin. So that is your movie, a struggling model takes some grief every now and then and starts dining on her flesh. I will say the supporting cast is also unique, and I did like the slight bits of twists that were thrown in for the heck of it. More or less showing that everyone is a bit crazy in Los Angeles.
