[waltsouza]

While on her bachelorette party getaway, Casey, the bride to be, gets a seemingly harmless bite from an unknown insect. After returning home with cold feet, Casey tries to call off her wedding but before she's able to, she starts exhibiting insect like traits. Between her physical transformation and her wedding anxiety, Casey succumbs to her new instincts and begins creating a hive that not only houses her translucent eggs, but feeds on the flesh of others. As her transformation becomes complete, Casey discovers that everything can change with a single bite.

TRAILER




É declaradamente muito inspirado no filme "A Mosca" de David Cronenberg mas são noticias como estas que acabam por criar algum "hype" em relação a um filme (de terror).

New Horror Film 'Bite' Caused Audience Vomiting and Anxiety


Apparently, the audience at the Fantasia Film Festival got a little more than they expected when they showed up for the premiere of the new horror film "Bite." Even before they entered the cinema, they were given "barf bags" that seemed to be somewhat promotional for the film. But as it turned out, they were very much needed, according to an article on Bloody Disgusting.

As if that wasn't bad enough, there were also reports of people fainting at the film and an ambulance had to be called in for one person, who hurt his head when he reacted to the film.

So what was so bad about the movie that it got that reaction?

Well, to start off, the trailer for the movie is enough to make you cringe. It began with what appeared to be a found footage film where a woman and her friends appeared to be swimming in a remote area of the wilderness. The woman gets bitten by a bug, but she initially blows it off.

The story then morphs into a classic horror tale. Just like with most horror movie monsters, a bite from a creature unleashes a curse on the person to adapt the monster's features. That is exactly what happens in the movie, except this woman slowly turns into a treacherous bug.
Can you just imagine the kind of characteristics a bug has when it needs to feed and protect its eggs, or larvae?
The rest you can probably figure out for yourself.

The festival co-director Mitch Davis took to social media and made a comment about the situation.
"I leave the BITE premiere for all of ten minutes and the following text lights up my phone: '2 people, fainted. One girl is puking and another hit his head on stairs'. Truth," Davis wrote.

Body horror film Bite is making audience members faint






If you’re a fan of special effects makeup, you are probably a fan of the body horror genre. That is, unless you are also predisposed to nausea when you see gore. Thanks to the power of storytelling, scoring and editing, there must be people who work on graphic special effects makeup jobs that wouldn’t be able to take watching it on screen, but they are few and far between. Usually, it seems to go the other way: once you’ve had a taste of body horror, the end justifies the means as far as cinema goes.

Director David Cronenberg gets body horror. It could be unnecessary surgery, a skin port, or a monster effect makeup, and Cronenberg has probably already found a way to effectively portray it on screen. His 1986 film The Fly starring Jeff Goldblum is the perfect example of groundbreaking makeup and, eventually, animatronics to portray the lead character’s transformation.

In the original Vincent Price 1958 film, the main character’s fly transformation ends with his head and an arm becoming that of an oversized fly. In Cronenberg’s re-imagining, the teleportation experiment slowly transforms Goldblum into a giant fly-human hybrid, stopping along the way for flaking skin and the vomiting of digestive bile.

There are scenes in the 1986 The Fly that are outright disgusting, even if you pause the movie and stop to think about the behind the scenes makeup process involved. Audiences who knew what a R-rated body horror film was likely to include were delighted. The film won the Academy Award for makeup that year. What it didn’t do was make people in the theater vomit and pass out. Physically effecting the audience might be the new bar to clear with body horror cinema in the time of computer-assisted post production, and it looks like the upcoming independent film Bite wants to be the one that clears it.

Up in Montreal, Bite had its world premiere at the Fantasia International Film Festival. The movie is about a bachelorette party vacation in the tropics where the bride-to-be Casey gets bitten on the leg by an unidentified insect. Once she goes home she begins her transformation. She starts laying eggs, her skin starts to change, and her apartment becomes her nest. If it sounds like it could be a new version of The Fly, that’s good, the filmmakers are shooting for that level of body horror. They were promoting the film with special Bite barf bags:

Fantaisa’s co-director Mitch Davis attended the BITE world premiere and posted to Facebook that same night: “I leave the BITE premiere for all of ten minutes and the following text lights up my phone: ‘2 people fainted. One girl is puking and another hit his head on stairs.’ Truth.”

Yes, an ambulance had to be called for two audience members during Bite because it was so gross.
Early reviews of the film are mixed on the plot but pretty unified that this movie is gross in the puss, transformation, human-eggs type of way. If you’re the type of person who is into being grossed out, keep an eye on Bite A movie that made two people pass out at its world premiere has a good shot at getting distribution as an endurance test if nothing else.

É o que dá deixarem pessoas sensíveis verem filmes de terror...

[PanterA]

Isso desmaiar parece-me mais uma campanha de marketing que outra coisa. Ainda por cima já foi usada em outros filmes de terror para darem aquele sensação de medo e claustrofobia e que estão a ver algo forte e sem igual.
