Sarentrol Masterful Cinema

Doomtomylo a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

Izzy Adkins The movie is surprisingly subdued in its pacing, its characterizations, and its go-for-broke sensibilities.

Yvonne Jodi Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.

hongkong666 The beginning of the movie left me already winding myself in my seat and my first reaction was "oh no, not another one of these terrible low budget movies". But the further the movie progressed, the more I got sucked into it. This is one of the movies where you shouldn't care about the plot, the dialogues or even the characters themselves. Instead just focus on the practical effects they used and how they add more and more layers of film art step by step. This is one of the movies known for the audience leaving the cinema because they couldn't take it anymore at some point. And I can totally understand where this is coming from. If you have a problem with vomiting, slime and goo... or insects in particular, you might not enjoy this movie at all. Those who can sit through something like this will get rewarded with an awesome example of how to create a creepy creature and using just the right lighting to not ruin things. I applaude this movie! Thank you for the love of detail, no matter the budget. If you liked the visuals of The Fly, you will love Bite. If this movie would have the acting and the writing of The Fly, it could be maybe even become another classic of our time.

mariusar Like some others here, I found Bite to be a mixed bag. Clearly quite a bit of a David Cronenberg influence here via homages to insect-human mutation and some quite heavy-handed and sometimes effective goo and body horror effects. The acting was capable all around with nothing overtly cringe-worthy. Direction was competent as well. So on many levels Bite works fairly well.Still, this is one of those films where even if one allows for reasonable amounts of suspension of disbelief, one can't help thinking that a single action taken by the protagonist could have rendered the entire movie pointless. Why on earth did Casey and her BFFs not even consider rushing to the hospital immediately especially after Casey begins to notice the incredibly unusual physical symptoms manifesting on her body? She's not presented as someone like Goldblum's Brundle character, an obsessed scientist hell-bent on discovery, all consequences be damned. Rather, Casey is for all intents and purposes a typical, average woman yet her actions to her horrendous symptoms are anything but average or typical.Does she not have medical insurance? Is she deathly afraid of hospitals? Is she in trouble with the law? Yes, all trite questions to wonder about in a fictional body-horror film, but some kind of reference as to why Casey never even considers getting to a hospital would have been immensely meaningful here. Instead, all we get is Casey making a two minute phone call to some useless, anonymous medical professional.Huh? Anyway, maybe it's just me. Bite is a decent enough gross-out fest with not terrible acting and some over-the-top use of FX goo. Watchable for fans of the genre but that hospital thing just won't go away for me.4.9 on IMDb is just about right.

tddiscodriver To long Slow Nothing horror about this, just horrible Don't waste your time with this it's 90 minutes of your life you'll never get back. Dreadful just dreadful It makes you wonder who wrote this nonsense and then convinced someone that spend good money making this god awful steaming pile.

myignisrules Body horror. It's for people who love movies like Cronenberg's The Fly, or Carpenter's The Thing, it's the kind of horror that makes some people throw up or feel faint watching it. Now we have Bite. A POV shot horror about a girl on vacay with some friends. She gets bitten by what seems like any other insect, but when she returns home, s*&t gets real. Where this flick excels, is with its visual effects. Creators Black Fawn are true horror genre lovers and it shows, with Practical Effects being used for everything. The nest. The eggs. The way our heroine 'changes' . It's really well done and sometimes hard to watch. The negs. Well simply put, the effort is put into the effects, but the story and the acting is so-so. It's just all surface. By that I mean, The Fly was about people's fear of AIDS . The Thing is a movie that looks at isolation and paranoia. Bite is just a movie about a girl being bitten by an insect and turning into an insect herself. You could argue it represents her insecurities but I just don't by it. So check this one out, if Body Horror gets your gory juices flowing and I give Bite....
