They Bite

About This Movie

So, 'They Bite' is this weird mix of comedy and horror with a touch of sci-fi. It's set in a Florida beach town, which already gives it that laid-back, sun-soaked vibe, but then you've got these alien creatures lurking just under the ocean surface, ready to wreak havoc. The pacing has a nice balance; it builds tension but doesn't forget to throw in some humor, mostly through the interactions of the ichthyologist and the filmmaker. The practical effects are a standout—there’s something charming about the low-budget monster designs. And the performances? They definitely lean into the absurdity which adds to the overall fun. It's distinctive for sure, a quirky little gem in the sea of '90s genre films.
