Little Bites

What could have been a real contender with a few relatively minor tweaks is still a serviceable morsel for those with the right kind of appetite.

There is an attempt to comment on the sacrifices that moms make, but it gets squelched by its own unevenness.

it’s so disheartening to watch someone give their all to a movie that doesn’t know what to do with her character or performance.

“Little Bites” felt like a horror reprise of “Stella Dallas” (1937). The real threat is that all this sacrifice is for nothing as if children chose to be born and owe their parents for doing the job that they signed up for.

A dark twist on the common themes of addiction and the struggles of being a single parent, Little Bites is a unique vampire flick that despite boasting good performances and sparse but successful gore, lacks depth inside the script.

Little Bites is a breath of fresh bloody air and will go up on my classic horror movie DVD shelf the moment it can.

By the third act, the film may falter under the weight of its metaphors, but despite flaws in the script, its compelling performances and effective creature design are enough for a tasty little horror trifle.

There's a lot of promise here, but it doesn't all pay off, resulting in a decent film that stops short of being a great exercise in supernatural terror.

While on its surface, this is a decent vampire horror, what’s contained inside is brilliantly unique with indelible messaging and immense heart. Don’t approach this as a traditional horror, but instead, expect a purposeful and resonant tale.

What makes Little Bites more intriguing is its exploration of generational trauma, sacrifice, and the everyday struggles of women. While it may initially seem simplistic, this dark and engaging film leaves viewers with plenty to ponder.
