Karry Best movie of this year hands down!

Diagonaldi Very well executed

MoPoshy Absolutely brilliant

Ezmae Chang This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

johannes2000-1 This is not a bad movie at all! Okay, it's The Fly all over again, but with a different approach: not the whole scientific mumbo jumbo, but just one simple bite of a never specified bug, that sets in motion the whole transition into... well, into what specific monster is not so clear, it could be into a human variation of an insect or into some sort of hatching-oven for thousands of tiny frogspawn-like insect-eggs. The main attraction of this movie is not so much the simple story-line, but without any doubt the abundant gore, the make-up department must have had a ball, it's all honest handmade craftsmanship and it looks fantastic! And I don't mean just the appearance of the main character but also the make-up of her apartment, that gradually turns into some sort of gruesome slimy and sticky and dripping insects lair. As I said: the story-line is a bit flimsy, notwithstanding the somewhat elaborate interpersonal complications that are brought-in, like a virginal relationship between the main character Casey and her boyfriend (virginal in 2015??? both seem to be grown-ups in their twenties!), a future mother-in-law out of hell and a jealous and conniving BFF. These extra story lines don't seem to add anything to the main premise (i.e. changing into a human insect due to a bugs bite) and actually lends the movie a kind of grey sixties atmosphere, enhanced by the setting in some kind of boarding-house. It's only the use of cell phones that reminds you it's all supposed to happen in the present day. As far as the acting is concerned, that's hardly of any importance in this kind of movie. Elma Begovic as Casey gives a chilling account of a slowly deteriorating nasty monster, but this is mainly due to her make-up. The others are barely adequate. So just go for the visual ride in this gory, slimy machine and you're sure to be rewarded!

reallyevilboy This 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.

stellbread After seeing the trailer for Bite and reading online articles of how viewers at various film fests passed out during showings, I couldn't wait to see it, After more than a year it (at last!) popped up on my local cable channels On-demand roster. I happily shelled out $5.99 and hoped to see a film that would at least make me flinch several times.But like $100 pay-per-view fights, unorthodox political candidates, and most rap CDs, this film didn't come close to living up to the hype. Bite, simply put, is done in by its own excesses. When a horror film relies solely on gross-out gimmickry rather than clever use of lighting, camera angles, or plausible plot, then the element of fright is replaced by boredom, nausea or both. Community theater acting doesn't help.Elma Begovic plays Casey, a recently engaged twenty-something who while out celebrating with her girls, is bitten by some sort of water insect. Rather than seek medical attention, she ignores the mark left behind, even as it becomes larger and more disgusting. By the time Casey realizes this is no ordinary wound, the drastic effects are manifested.This film contains every horror movie cliché you've seen before— single females going into dark venues to investigate; single woman falling down as she attempts to flee; overblown makeup to accent the drastic physical changes of victims; and sex scenes that are not only gratuitous, but fail to deliver the expected shock—say in the manner of the bedroom scene from the first Nightmare On Elm Street.Poor pacing and the lack of anything original makes one want to yawn rather than scream. The director (Chad Archibald) has no idea how to use shadow or the camera to build suspense. It is so drab it makes anything produced by Rob Zombie look Oscar-worthy.If you like being grossed out, you might get excited by Bite. If you're looking for something that makes you worry about having nightmares when you fall asleep, you'll find more chills—and better acting—in episodes of The Outer Limits.

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....
