Chad
Archibald's Bite
(2015) is one of the grossest movies I've seen in a while, which is
saying something because I watch a lot of horror. In the same vein
as Slither,
Cabin
Fever,
and The
Fly,
this ''body horror'' movie shows a young woman's transition from drop
dead gorgeous to barely human. Filmed effectively on a small budget
and featuring a great performance by Elma Begovic as Casey, Bite
is a film only for those that have a strong stomach!
Casey
and her cute friends go on a bachelorette party in Costa Rica and
have the time of their lives (even though Casey ends up making some
bad decisions and loses her wedding ring during the trip). Once she
gets back, things aren't quite the same with her fiance and a bite
mark that she got from an insect during the trip is not only growing,
but leaking gross puss as well. Confronted by her evil mother-in-law
to be and her unusual body transformation, Casey is quickly becoming
something very unnatural and there's no stopping it!
Presented
in standard definition with a widescreen aspect ratio of 2.35:1 and a
nice sounding 5.1 Dolby Digital lossless English track, the film
looks as good as it can on DVD and sadly no Blu-ray version has yet
been made available. The opening of the film is hand-cam (found
footage) style as the rest of the film has a more cinematic look.

I
was definitely surprised by how disturbing (and fun!) Bite
was. I would suggest it to those who like a gross-out horror film
every now and then. Especially seeing that this film has a lower
budget, the production design and effects are pretty spot on.
