good back-story, and good acting

Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

I watch a lot of these B films with the hopes of finding some gem, but of course most of them are simply bad. "Bite Me!" was that gem. You know what you're getting with nearly any B movie, but this one piqued my interest a bit more with the stop motion animation. So I gave it a try.The first two-thirds of the film didn't drag, but weren't stellar. The initial scene with the two guys driving the car, and their demise, really could have been left out of the film for the most part. It filled 5-10 minutes and provided about 3 lines of plot that could have been delivered by other means besides a car crash and a few phone calls.So the middle phase is dominated by character development in the strip club. It managed not to suck, and held my interest primarily with the nudity and I was wondering if there would be any more to the story. Still, nudity and not-bad acting (in fact pretty good for a B flick) was carrying me. Then the last 15-25 minutes kicked in and things really got going. The characters really blossomed, especially once they got bit. And the whole 'dinosaurs in the backyard' got me for the fact there was never even attempt at explanation....it just is, roll with it. Still, the best was the characters. They executed their given roles wonderfully, pulling several laugh out loud moments mixed with and sometimes because of several wtf moments. This was too good to be accidental, so my appreciation not just for the actors but for writing and direction, and of course for special effects. I'll admit, Crystal (Misty Mundae) grew on me a bit, especially her character after being bit, but the one who earned my greatest appreciation was Amber (Caitlin Ross) for playing the (un-phase- able) pot head stripper. She was solid throughout, though it took me a bit of time for her personality to start playing the straight for all the scenes.I love cheese, and this was quality cheese with a healthy dose of fun. You aren't getting Oscar quality when you pick up a film like this, but you are rewarded for one of the best I've seen in this class of film. Definitely recommended.

Every now and then I like watching silly crap. And this movie succeeds in being what it wants to be: Total silly nonsense. Add a little fun stop-motion effects (mutant sex-drive-increasing ticks crawling around everywhere and a human-sized mutant tick-man at the end) and quite a lot of nekkid boobies (provided by Misty Mundae, amongst others), and you could say this one is somewhat of a fun watch. But the acting often is so abominable that it hurts. In the end, all that remains is a movie that isn't going anywhere, but you can have a fun time just staying at the main location of this movie (being a titty-bar infested by the aforementioned critters). Near the end the movie gives more than one nod to older giant monster classics (and this doesn't exactly mean that there is a big climax with a giant monster reeking havoc or anything - just see it and you'll understand).

This premeditated camp aspires to be "so bad it's good" and nearly succeeds. Shot with direct-to-DVD porn-like production values and some "Ice Pirates" level monster effects, it manages to be somewhat entertaining. There are no scares, little gore (the monsters are fragile, tarantula-sized ticks, that can be dispatched into a pint of splashing fake blood with a rolled-up newspaper), some laughs and a few groans. The presence of naked ladies seems calculated to win the movie a Friday night pay channel spot. Extras include an interview with star Misty Mundae--herself an aspiring filmmaker. One suspects that if the makers of "Bite Me!" aimed just a little higher they may actually hit the mark, but they are content to stay on the low road.

Where to start on this one? It is a "horror" film that aspires for camp, and never takes itself seriously. At all. Nothing is worse than a movie that aims for camp and misses. This one misses, but not by a wide mark. It almost makes it. The bug effects are cheesy, and the filmmakers know it. (I still found them creepy, but I am a major arachnophobe. To anyone else, they're just kind of bad.) I considered this to basically be a T & A movie with the comic horror grafted on to have something going on between nude scenes. The T & A aspect of the film was much better than I thought it would be. First, since the setting is a strip club, much of the nudity is of strippers on stage, which is one of the least erotic ways to portray female skin. But it really was better than you would think, partly because they weren't really playing it "straight" in these scenes, but sort of playing it for chuckles. Second, as anyone who reads a lot my reviews would know, (NOTE: I would find it shocking, and a bit disturbing, if there were any such person) I have been on a long anti-silicone crusade. Ladies, those big stiff, spherical mounds of minerals are UGLY!!! Most or all of the boobies on display here are natural-looking and beautiful. Yes, they may not be DDD's, but IMHO, are a hundred times prettier than, say, Julie Strain's. Misty Mundae is really pretty and sweet-looking, if not the best actress in the world. And especially pretty was Erika Smith. I'd like to see both of them get chances in better movies. The three main male characters were silly, attempted campy, way-over-the-top, messes. If you're going to check this one out, do so for the pretty girls, not the horror or the camp. You'll be much less disappointed.
