Don't Bite Off More Than You Can Chew

Nomination Year: 2025

SYNOPSIS:

A troubled young woman named Jackson meets her father Sam for the first time...and they both witness a horrific and terrifying sight: A strange man who can open his mouth to ungodly dimensions is swallowing people whole! They dub the man/creature "Chompy." And Chompy is chasing them all over. But all is not what it seems...

SPOILERS: Chompy, although he appears to eat people, was actually swallowing instances of an alien parasite that is about to destroy the human race. He's a kind of angel (?) who is here to help. But if too many people know about him, he can't help.

But...then Chompy gets run over and dies.

It's now up to Jackson and Sam to save the world themselves.
