Bite received mixed reviews from critics, holding a 53% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes and a Metacritic score of 57 out of 100, indicating average or mixed reviews. Many reviewers praised the film's practical effects and commitment to body horror elements that create genuinely unsettling visuals. For instance, some critics noted that the film's horror was effective in escalating tension and grotesque imagery, lauding Elma Begovicโs intense performance as a highlight. However, other reviews criticized the film for its pacing issues and some narrative predictability, suggesting it struggled to fully capitalize on its premise. IMDb users gave it a score of 4.9/10, reflecting a divided audience reaction; some appreciated its niche appeal within horror while others found it lacking in character development and story depth. Overall, Bite stands out for fans of visceral horror but may not appeal as much to those looking for a tightly woven psychological thriller.
