After Thanatomorphose (2012) and Contracted (2013) another bad movie where the main character slowly rotting or transform in something else without foolishly even go to the ER. Apart from this the big problem for me in "Bite" was the plot used to intersperse the body horror scene. It was basically a damn boring soap opera. A pity because the visual fx aren't so bad but the plot and lots of mistakes put this movie in the bottom of my ratings, unfortunately i'm starting to accept the idea that we will never have more masterpiece of body horror like "The fly". 2/10.
... View MoreThis movie starts off looking like some shaky cam movies and soon turns into a gruesome, egg laying nightmare that I found extremely entertaining for no particular reason.I think that I found none of the characters likable, they ranged from hated to disliked. So as they fell foul one by one there was a mild sense of enjoyment found. Even the rapid demise of the main character as she went from "I don't think I'm ready for marriage" to "My job is to lay as many little eggs as possible" was something to look forward to.There reactions were great as well, going from "It's just a little bite" and then the big "BITE" title comes up. To - where there are eggs, and webbing everywhere and the visitor is saying "It's not as bad as it looks." By the way, it doesn't matter who's room your walking into, if you open the door and there's webs and eggs everywhere and it looks like some giant insects den you say "opps, sorry wrong room" close the door and run.Acting was not brilliant, dialogue was just okay but for some reason this has been the best horror I have seen in a long, long time and I need to give it 10 out 10 and I have no idea why.

In fact, I watched six back-to-back in a week. Yeah, I can't wait for October which is in about a month and when I really indulge in many, many horror movie experiences. So, when this Bite film opens and it's immediately screaming found footage, I put aside my disdain for such rubbish and decided to give it a try.BOOM! Within ten minutes or so, it shifts from found footage to a real film. Thank God for that and that gave me more interest in seeing this play out.And it went pretty good for a while. I liked where this was going until the final act. Eh. Sorry, spoilers, it was a terrible ending.But, backing up: The movie revolves around a bachelorette party in a foreign land where the bride-to-be is bitten and slowly turns into whatever bit her. Her annoying friends, landlord and fiancé try to figure out why she's locking herself away as she metamorphoses. Again, the third act, as gruesome and detailed as the FX crew made it out, lacks any originality or threat. Yes, the movie up to that point isn't a hundred percent original to begin with, but it ends with all the clichés and stereotypes all these When Animals Attack films constantly show.I am a fan of this subgenre of horror. I do LOVE When Animal Attack films. So, I definitely wanted to see this. The end result, it's not great, but not bad. Just slightly below average and you could do a lot worse. So, if you're a fan, like me, give it a chance. Just don't listen to any foreigners who lead you to a secret, off-the- grid watering hole what he claims is crystal clear water when it's really muddy and ugly. You know the rule of going into different land's water supplies!***Final thoughts: I know, I know. I mentioned "When Animal Attack" movies several times, and in a sense, it fits. What it really should be compared to is the classic, 1986's The Fly. Actually, I retract that statement, as well. There is NO comparison between that EXCELLENT movie and this one, but if you liked that one, you might like this one some.
... View MoreHave heard that Bite was a juicy flick and I agree, the puss and juice is all over the picture. It all starts rather easy and no horror is to catch the first 20 minutes. Again I thought that this was going to be a flick about forbidden love and love affairs but was I wrong. Once the bug has bitten this flick turns into a straight horror.It will remind you a lot of The Fly (1986) due the transformation taking place but it can't tip that flick. Still it isn't that bad after all. It doesn't become gory but what it do does getting messy. Once the girl turns into a bug her saliva turns into a killng device. It becomes acid to solve human skin. It is also a bit of a revenge flick too because throughout the flick it's shown what happened at her stag night.If you like creature features then this will satisfy you if you think you will see gore galore leave it. I liked it, above mediocre.Gore 1/5 Nudity 0/5 Effects 3/5 Story 3/5 Comedy 0/5
