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.

Wonderful Movie

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.

Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Terribly bad acting, especially the blond girl.. far too many orbeez so the 'special effects' are pretty poor. Storyline is rubbish other than the obviously unbelievable 'turning into a bug' thing'. The mother is law is ridiculous. Glad her face gets burnt off!

This is not a bad movie at all! Okay, it's The Fly all over again, but with a different approach: not the whole scientific mumbo jumbo, but just one simple bite of a never specified bug, that sets in motion the whole transition into... well, into what specific monster is not so clear, it could be into a human variation of an insect or into some sort of hatching-oven for thousands of tiny frogspawn-like insect-eggs. The main attraction of this movie is not so much the simple story-line, but without any doubt the abundant gore, the make-up department must have had a ball, it's all honest handmade craftsmanship and it looks fantastic! And I don't mean just the appearance of the main character but also the make-up of her apartment, that gradually turns into some sort of gruesome slimy and sticky and dripping insects lair. As I said: the story-line is a bit flimsy, notwithstanding the somewhat elaborate interpersonal complications that are brought-in, like a virginal relationship between the main character Casey and her boyfriend (virginal in 2015??? both seem to be grown-ups in their twenties!), a future mother-in-law out of hell and a jealous and conniving BFF. These extra story lines don't seem to add anything to the main premise (i.e. changing into a human insect due to a bugs bite) and actually lends the movie a kind of grey sixties atmosphere, enhanced by the setting in some kind of boarding-house. It's only the use of cell phones that reminds you it's all supposed to happen in the present day. As far as the acting is concerned, that's hardly of any importance in this kind of movie. Elma Begovic as Casey gives a chilling account of a slowly deteriorating nasty monster, but this is mainly due to her make-up. The others are barely adequate. So just go for the visual ride in this gory, slimy machine and you're sure to be rewarded!

I enjoyed this movie, I had not heard about any of the hype until after I watched it so I had no preconceived ideas.Casey is getting married and goes on a hen party trip with two of her friends. They go off the beaten track to a natural pool which is recommended to them by someone they meet. Casey is bitten under the water by some kind of bug. After returning home she notices a rash on her shoulder whilst in the bath. Areas of her body become inflamed with raised large lumps, they are painful and develop into gross pustules. She feels unwell, begins to get sick and basically gets worse and worse.Along with this going on she has the mother-in-law-to-be from hell who literally hates her guts and a friend who wants her fiancé and steals her engagement ring.Casey mutates into a gross goo-dripping creature that lays little ball eggs and makes a big slimy mess.There have been a lot of negative reviews about this movie but I think that is possibly down to pre-movie hype that did not live up to expectations. For me I found the movie a little bit slow after Casey began feeling ill. I quite liked the characters and how they were all a bit off. I was frustrated at how Casey didn't go to the doctors when the initial symptoms began appearing as that would have been what any relatively normal person would have done. If she had have gone to the doctors this would have given the movie a bit more depth and could have added another dynamic. As the movie progresses and Casey becomes more and more mutated I thought it was really good, I like the concept of making a nest and how she changed. I felt for her. There was tension and the makings of a good thriller as her friends began to try to get in touch with her and enter her apartment. Yes there are many flaws but it does still stand up as a pretty good horror. It caught my imagination and kept me thinking about it for some time after watching which is always a good indication of a film you have enjoyed.

This movie starts off looking like some shaky cam movies and soon turns into a gruesome, egg laying nightmare that I found extremely entertaining for no particular reason.I think that I found none of the characters likable, they ranged from hated to disliked. So as they fell foul one by one there was a mild sense of enjoyment found. Even the rapid demise of the main character as she went from "I don't think I'm ready for marriage" to "My job is to lay as many little eggs as possible" was something to look forward to.There reactions were great as well, going from "It's just a little bite" and then the big "BITE" title comes up. To - where there are eggs, and webbing everywhere and the visitor is saying "It's not as bad as it looks." By the way, it doesn't matter who's room your walking into, if you open the door and there's webs and eggs everywhere and it looks like some giant insects den you say "opps, sorry wrong room" close the door and run.Acting was not brilliant, dialogue was just okay but for some reason this has been the best horror I have seen in a long, long time and I need to give it 10 out 10 and I have no idea why.
