The Projectile That Bites is a quirky comedy from 1986 that’s both absurd and oddly reflective of its time. The plot spirals from a biting incident tied to AIDS, blending dark humor with social commentary. The pacing can feel uneven; it meanders at times, but that sort of adds to its charm. The small-town atmosphere and the absurdity of the situation create a sense of surreal panic. The performances are a mixed bag, but the chemistry between the two friends is genuine, making their ridiculous antics amusing. Practical effects, while not top-tier, have a certain rawness that gives the film an authentic feel. It’s a distinctive piece of its genre, showcasing a blend of comedy and social critique that’s rare to find.
