As Good As It Gets
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.
By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
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.
Bitten is a low budget black comedy-horror film, in the realm of Shaun of the Dead. Jack is a paramedic who has just broken up with his girlfriend when he comes upon a sexy young lady, bleeding in an alley. He takes her to his place and quickly discovers that she is a vampire who needs blood in order to survive. Danika kills his ex when she tries to pick up her stuff. Jack puts a stake through her heart when she comes back to life. The murders become more and more frequent and Danika's violence and thirst for blood increase. His best friend from work helps him work out a plan to terminate his troublesome new roommate, and this leads to an interesting conclusion. The acting is competent for what it is; not exactly Hamlet, but a fun distraction for ninety minutes.
I enjoyed this low budget comedy which explores the perils of having a vampire for a girlfriend. It's painfully obvious that the producers of this independent movie didn't have a great deal of money to throw around, as almost the whole film takes place in a single location and in terms of special effects, fake blood and contact lenses are all we get. But the profane script just gets better as the story progresses and I ended up having a ball with it. It's as if the scriptwriter started out attempting to make a serious movie, then threw his hands up in the air and decided to enjoy himself.Much of the comic interplay comes from the pairing of two ambulance drivers (Jason Mewes and the deliciously bad taste Richard Fitzpatrick) who curse, shout and rant at the world in general. The story, about Mewes falling in love with a girl who's always hungry, is fairly by the by, and the fun lies in the execution. It's as if the people who made this knew they didn't have a great deal to work with, so they just had fun instead.A great deal of the scenes are played for titillation. Erica Cox either appears nude or in an extraordinarily skimpy little top. She's certainly one of the most arresting vampires I've seen on screen. Not content with that, they throw in a brief lesbian scene as well. Mewes is fun, and that sense of enjoyment rubs off, allowing you to ignore the plot holes (why don't the drug dealers come back?) and the fact that not a great deal happens during the film after all. Sure, the ending is over-the-top and cheesy in the extreme, but as a whole BITTEN kicks the asses of plenty of other similar independent horror films.
I rented this out not too long ago. I was hoping for the usual stuff. Vampires, terror, something was going me make me sit there and watch it. What did i get? Nothing! Obviously yes! It was made at a low budget. But I was getting bored with the film as I continued to watch it. The whole plot didn't make no sense. OK, this guy (Mewes) wants to this girl (Cox) to the hospital, but she refuses to go. I thought OK.. what happens after that? Same old pappy-show! The plot begins to run out of steam and here am I thinking.. when is this going to end? Don't get me wrong though.. I've seen better vampire movies. Better than this crap! I hated it anyway. If I wanted to a vampire movie.. I'd make it a vampire movie.As for this.. this film didn't live up to expectations. A total disappointment. Thumbs down for this rubbish!
This is not really a vampire flick,nor is it a vampire comedy flick. So ,it has no core,and thus wanders aimlessly with no drive;no direction;no momentum. The 2 actresses(Erica and Amy somethings) are gorgeous.The lead male is awful beyond belief. The set is out of a high school theatre production.I can only guess that this film benefited from some Canadian taxpayer giveaways to be made at all. So,well done Erica and Amy,whom we will probably never hear from again ,in spite of their loveliness ,even though they deserve better. Boo on the rest of you associated with this poor effort.Hopefully we won't be hearing from you all again.
