People get sick on holidays…it’s all part of the great adventure…but how sick are you willing to get? When young Casey (Elma Begovic) returns home from her Bachelorette party in Costa Rica with a seemingly innocuous insect bite, nothing prepares her for the sheer terror ahead.
Subject to the stress of an over-bearing mother-in-law and myriad plans for her impending wedding Casey finds herself overwhelmed at the thought of her future. But soon the horrifying effects of the bite begin to take up all of her time, consuming her inside-out, sharpening her instincts and transforming her into a deadly insect with an unquenchable thirst. A creepy body-horror gore-fest in the sensational tradition of Cronenberg’s The Fly and James Gunn’s Slither, BITE is sure to get under your skin and truly make it crawl.
Reviews
“Bite is one of the best indie horror films I've seen all year.” – Nerdist
“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.” – Daily Dead
“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.” – L.A Times
