A seemingly harmless bite transforms a young woman (Elma Begovic) into an insect-like creature that needs human flesh for her eggs. As her transformation becomes complete, she discovers that everything can change with a single bite.
While Bite will make you squirm with mounds and mounds of bile-inducing horror, the film fails to offer much else as you care little about any of the characters and the story is familiar ground that has been done before with more satisfying results
After an opening 10 minutes that promises something depressingly mediocre, the film takes a turn to the atmospheric and gruesome, and winds up being one of the year's more provocative shockers.
Bite is still a wholly ambitious affair and a tenacious effort from Chad Archibald, who proves he has a strong grasp of how to make an intelligent horror movie that often defies genre expectations.
Bite is rife with unfulfilled potential. Even if all you want is to be grossed out, it doesn't push the envelope far enough and lacks the originality and sense of fun that could've made it a cult favorite.
an expertly rendered gross-out that never takes itself too seriously, although there are times when you wish it had taken itself a little more seriously
