StunnaKrypto Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.

Lancoor A very feeble attempt at affirmatie action

GarnettTeenage The film was still a fun one that will make you laugh and have you leaving the theater feeling like you just stole something valuable and got away with it.

Seraherrera The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity

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.

clareypotter 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.

Matthew De Beer Allow me to say that I enjoyed this film right from the start - pretty girls, lots of fun in the sun, swimming in infested waters, extremely bad decisions by characters...it has it all! We know the story - girls go to Costa Rica, one is bitten by something, she comes home and changes into a nasty beasty. The make-up is great, the production design not bad and the acting better than most films in this genre. I only have two questions for the writers - Why does the fiancé not once question the disappearance of his mother whom he is meant to be so close to...and why would anyone even step over the threshold of that apartment when they see all those clingy cobweb things and the glistening eggs (that look like bubble bath capsules btw!), let alone go into the apartment and walk deeper and deeper into the dreadful stench and oozing slime? Apart from the above, this film isn't too bad and can hold its own in the B-grade body-horror film market.
