  Finally, that scene in the trailer where he screams “Help me!” from the gullet. That isn’t the part where he gets actually swallowed, but a moment in which he almost manages to get out only to be gulped back. So we even have pred teasing in the mix. Wow. Also, that scene gives us the opportunity to get a very good look at the maw and the tongue, since the whale in here is on.
  In short, this is the vore media to end all previous vore medias. All predecessors – Pinocchio, Ice Age 3, Pagemaster, Anaconda – walked so that Whalefall could run. Well, Dragon Pilot is the only comparable one maybe, but the presence of so many elements that I usually will see only in explicitly vore videos makes Whalefall really stand out.
  So, now I’ll talk about Whalefall as a movie itself. And I’ll show you how the real themes of it are mourning and family. The whale is just a way to attract people into it. A good movie by itself? Eeeehhhhh, didn’t fully convince me, but I’ll explain later.
  What’s the starting point of the plot? The protagonist, Jay, is a young man whose father, a sea fanatic, having been diagnosed with a terminal sickness preferred to drown himself into the ocean rather than dying in a hospital bed. One year later, he is still tormented by the event and the fact there was no body to bury, so he decides to go scuba dive where the tragic event happened, hoping to find at least one bone.
  I remember vividly the feeling of tension during the scenes in which he explores the deep ocean: it’s all dark (even before getting inside the whale), with very little noise, and no background music. Little to nothing happens before the whale comes. You know it’s going to happen, but you don’t know when. The anticipation was killing me; I was seriously getting afraid there would be a jumpscare. Luckily, there was none, the whale is introduced gradually enough.

  And that’s where he gets swallowed, of course. From now on, the rest of the movie is inside the whale, but there are several flashbacks about him and his father. And god, his father was an asshole. The kind of father that tries to make you like the same things he likes, in all the wrong ways: calls his son names when he doesn’t do things correctly, expresses his opinions sarcastically and bitterly, but the flashback that really made me question why Jay would even mourn him was one in which a friend of him, who’s celebrating birthday came by car to go to Seaworld, and Jim’s father bitterly says things against Seaworld that I even agree with, but that in that context really sound like an old man yelling at cloud, or worse, a toxic father getting manipulative with his own son, especially when he then says resentfully about a certain gift he had for him, or something like that.
  Anyway, because his father still taught him a lot of things about the sea and its inhabitants, there’s some more flashbacks where Jay gets taught such things that will eventually make him get out. And here is the strange thing. At one point, and until the rest of the movie, Jay feels like he is talking to the whale, and the whale has the voice of his father. There’s this sort of...magical realism? That makes so that the whale and the father, as characters, are spiritually linked. Especially during a certain moment in which the whale is seriously at risk of dying, and Jay implores the whale to call its siblings to come in aid, it becomes clear that the moral of the story, at least part of it, is about family being always there for you. Eventually, Jim gets out by making the whale literally explode so that he gets shot to the surface (kinda, I know the way I’m writing it makes it sound like he did it with something by Acme Corporation), and there’s this other flashback in which the father tells him what a “whale fall” is. Which is interesting, yeah,I didn’t know about it.

  In his words, when a whale dies, it creates a whole new ecosystem so that from it new life can continue. And here is served the metaphore. The whole meaning of this misadventure is a representation of getting free from the chains of your own family, while still acknowledging that it is thanks to said family that you’re alive and well.
  But it didn’t convince me. You know why? Because in none of these flashbacks did I get shown Jay spending some actual, pleasant time with his father. Getting explained things about the sea isn’t enough, cause so far you depicted the father as something that is so apeshit about the sea he makes his son suffer for his obsession. I wish I could have seen scenes where they did something else entirely. Like, I don’t know, them at an amusement park. Him giving Jay a present for his birthday. Him congratulating Jay for some good results at school. Just anything, anything positive. The only closest thing is him keeping Jay on his arms after being just born, promising his child that he’ll let him choose his life path regardless of what he thinks. Well, then he did not maintain his promise, cause the flashbacks of them two fighting are emotionally very intense: it’s clear that Jay hates the sea and hates his father.
  So no, in my opinion the movie did not redeem his father, and Jay had no real reason to sacrifice himself just to find bones of a parent that emotionally abused him. The moral that I got from the story is that family is always something to be thankful for no matter what, and I think of all the things my friends had to endure because of family, I can only say go fuck yourself. Or am I too much of an individualistic, autistic, dragon personality to understand?

  Eventually, in the second part I felt much less excitement over the interiors of the whale, because the emphasis of Jay’s relationship with his father becomes much more prevalent, and the movie assumes this whole metaphorical tone. I got out of the theater still amazed, but with no sense of thinking about how badly I wish I was in there anymore.
  If I can get my hands on a video file, I would like to make a ‘vore cut’ of the movie. Take out all the sentimental things and put emphasis on the ‘being inside a whale’ parts. It’s not the movie of the year, but after two days I’m still thinking about how the whale’s stomach looked like damn.
  In conclusion: as a movie it’s not bad at all but it didn’t convince me fully. As a vore experience...yeah, make sure you’re alone if you go watch it. But go watch it. No description could ever make justice to it, it’s a movie that must be felt.

  P.S. The movie comes actually from a book, and the author is called Daniel Kraus, if you’d like to check it out.
  P.P.S. Fun fact: I don’t remember ever hearing words like “eat”, “swallow” or “digestion” through the entire movie.
