Watch Bite For Free

Absolutely brilliant

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

I love my friends, however, if I rocked up at one of their houses and it was covered in weird cobwebby shiz and over-sized frogspawn I'd be out of there. Also, speaking as a Brit, who are renowned for the stiff upper lip, keep calm and carry on mentality, if I had a weeping leg and developed an ability to sleep underwater I'd get my ass to the hospital. Would have received 1star had it not been for the standout performance from Cyril the dog.

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!

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.

6.25 of 10. If you're looking for something beyond another spider film, The Fly, Spiderman, or the Thaw, this adds something new to mix. It's also ahead of the curve on the zika-like infections.Excellent visual and sound FX for a low-budget, indie film where the writer and director are the same person.So much horror is fantasy based that another strong part of this film is that there's reality/science integrated into the horror. If you want horror that's not based purely on nonsense, you'll definitely appreciate this film.The only weak part of the film involves the casting. With more budget and bigger actors, this could have easily been a more recognized film. As it is, it will probably pick up a cable audience and eventually turn into a cult hit.
