becki_rainbow Terribly bad acting, especially the blond girl.. far too many orbeez so the 'special effects' are pretty poor. Storyline is rubbish other than the obviously unbelievable 'turning into a bug' thing'. The mother is law is ridiculous. Glad her face gets burnt off!

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.

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....
