Apparently Bite is on a few lists of super scary movies which people couldnt even finish. I'm 99% it's on the unwatchable list for different reasons but hey... the fact this landed anywhere has me shaking in my boot.
Lets just say its one crash and burn moment after another. Continuity between scenes/takes is irrelevant someone really should have lost their job. From the bite originally being on her bikini line on her hip which moves down to her bum cheek/outer thigh area. To totally different wardrobe its mind boggling this move made it out of production.
The acting is... well... as expected. Campy, over exaggerated in some places, absent in other and dry.
You dont end up caring about any of these character, hell I made a hit list of my own. The only satisfaction was crossing another poorly executed character off my list. From jump. When this group of women on vacation in a forgien place take a hand drawn map and I'm talking like.... I'm the map song, dora the explore level map...over the bridge, around the big rock....taking them to a place which clearly isnt the place they were told to go to. I just buckled in for a ride of disappointment.
Can we also talk about hygiene....I know this is weird coming from a movie but this chick vomits straight lube... then, while riding her soon to be husband her massive infected bug bite busts faster than he does all over his hand and not a single one of them does anything to clean up. Like oh ok I'm gonna touch my face with my puss covered hand.... not everyone is disgusting can we please have this guy at least WIPE his hand!
Moving on, the scene settings....jfc...so majority of the film is set in the overly staged aparemtnents. Everyone apparently doesnt actually live in these and were here for a sopa opera, dim light, silk plant aesthetic. Someone killed Belisimo in the kitchen with a cloche. Ahhh!! Can we give these people a little personality in their living spaces if we cant actually give it through their on screenperformance? Am I asking to much?!??! Someone tell me!
Speaking of these characters, no one at any point really reacts to the orbeez all over the place, slime and some kind of membrane draped over every single surface. They walk in looking for their friend, have no reaction except a slight stank face and that's it. Can we have some concern.... this is clearly not normal so why are you venturing beyond the door. Bro shut that and either mind your business or call the authorities.
Now the deaths were the only satisfaction as I mentioned and no not how they died.... just that they were dead and we are that much closer to the end. The way she kills these people.... god. Puking acid on one, sealing ones mouth shut and yes just the mouth but she some how still suffocated... cutting the others throat and then stabbing her man with her tail which somehow impregnated him? And can we just acknowledge that while she is turning into some kind of semi aquatic reptilian species... what shes laying are fricken insects.... how that cross is made is lost on me but okay reptile woman do you.
Finally the end thank god it cant get any worse. Wrong. Let's talk about this quarantine fiasco. The swat team arrives. Starts poking around in one room while hazmat goes into another. Wearing scrubs and hospital masks to full on hazmat suits....a few goggles and some are not even wearing any form of protection on their heads. It's a mess. Swat comes into the boyfriend's apartment. Asks for hazmat and keeps on going unleashing more of these flies. Like...what...did no one actually look into how people move in for one a potential crime scene and two a biohazard situation and since were on the topic of fly release. These eggs in the fiance incubated for however long and burst out...but not a single one has hatched in the main characters apartment. Hmmm seems a little off but whatever maybe the temps werent right.
Short version. This movie has no rhyme or reason. It relies heavily on the cringe/nasty factor the constant stream of vomit and growing nest situation provides. There is no continuity with takes and scenes. No research was done to provide any kind of realism what so ever. The cast probably wasnt worth what they made but hey, having this on your resume is penance enough.
Someone should have blasted the creators in the face with bug spray and lit a match on production....
