Tricia Helfer Gets Slimed in New Body‑Horror ‘Devour’

When Tricia Helfer signed on for the erotic body‑horror "Devour", she reportedly asked the producers if the script came with a bib—because the film promises more slime than a Halloween slime‑factory.

The movie marks Helfer’s return to the screen in a lead role, following her iconic turn in "Battlestar Galactica" and a cameo in "Anna Pigeon". In "Devour" she becomes a walking, talking blob, navigating a world of gelatinous dread.

Directed by genre‑bender Erica Orofino, the film also features Georgia Bradner and Elizabeth Adams. Together they populate a surreal tableau of goopy, mud‑brown protoplasmic limbs that crawl, stretch, and occasionally wobble like over‑cooked noodles.

Critics have likened the film’s aesthetic to a character named "Clayface", calling the effort an underbaked body‑horror that shoots out its protoplasmic feelers tentatively into uncharted horror territory.

Beyond the physical transformation, Helfer’s performance feels like a tongue‑in‑cheek metaphor for an actress who has literally swallowed her previous roles—leaving audiences to wonder if the film is as much about career consumption as it is about slime.

The marketing team has leaned into the theme, touting "Devour" as a "devouring experience" for viewers who prefer their popcorn served with a side of existential dread.
