Storyline

Officer Bannerman is assigned to watch after the police station with two other officers during the night. Things go routinely until a person is brought into holding, who is supposedly responsible for over thirty "Silence of the Lambs"-style killings. Now, as things go from odd to frightening, Bannerman must determine just who is who because this Cajun killer may be more than just a mere cannibal. Written by bioguyver43

Eater
7 July 2008 | by (United States) – See all my reviews

I really enjoyed Eater. It's the only Fear Itself episode that kept me interested through the entire hour. I also liked the fact that the female cop was a horror geek (I am too). Eater will remind you of several others movies, sort of rolled into one concise plot. It was well acted (suprisingly, considering the first 3 episodes)and the setting worked nicely. There are several 'jump' moment set ups, but the the suspense is built slowly enough that you care about the characters. Don't assume you have guessed the twist because, while you MAY figure it out, you'll be pleasantly surprised by the way it is played. Even though you can see the final scene coming from a mile away, you will still cheer for your favorite character.
