Bite

About This Movie

Bite (2015) brings a unique blend of body horror and psychological tension, making it quite the interesting watch. The film dives into Casey’s metamorphosis, which is both physical and mental—a solid exploration of anxiety around marriage and identity. The practical effects are something to note; they really capture the grotesque transformation without relying heavily on CGI. There's this grimy atmosphere that permeates the entire film, which complements the discomforting themes quite well. The pacing can feel a bit uneven, but it largely works in building the dread and tension as Casey spirals into her new reality. The performances, especially from the lead, add to that unsettling vibe. It's not your typical horror flick, that's for sure.
