Catherine Bray Guardian 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. Rated: 3/5 Feb 18, 2025 Full Review Randy Myers San Jose Mercury News There is an attempt to comment on the sacrifices that moms make, but it gets squelched by its own unevenness. Rated: 1.5/4 Oct 2, 2024 Full Review Brian Tallerico RogerEbert.com 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. Rated: 1.5/4 Sep 27, 2024 Full Review Meredith Jill Brown Upcoming Horror Movies With powerhouse performances from this remarkable cast, it’s nearly impossible to find flaw in Little Bites. Rated: 9/10 Jul 17, 2025 Full Review Sarah Vincent Sarah G Vincent Views “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. Mar 3, 2025 Full Review Rebecca Johnson Film Focus Online 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. Rated: 2.5/5 Feb 22, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews

TheMovieSearch R When I sat down to watch Little Bites, I’ll be honest—I thought I was in for at least some level of fun. It’s streaming on Disney+ and Hulu, so I figured there would be a little bit of creativity at play, maybe a creepy yet clever creature design, or at the very least a campy good time with an “evil monster” vibe. What I got instead felt more like a bizarre fever dream that couldn’t decide if it was a horror film, a parody, or some half-baked metaphor that never fully developed. The story centers around Melinda, who ends up locked in this strange back-and-forth with the villain. What should have been an intense cat-and-mouse chase ends up playing more like a nibbling contest—literally. The villain doesn’t feel menacing or even particularly interesting, and instead of building suspense, the film just spirals into repetitive interactions that go nowhere. And when Melinda finally makes it home, instead of the relief you’d expect, she’s immediately attacked and bitten by Liz Demon. The moment should’ve been shocking, but the way it plays out just feels awkward and weird—like a last-minute idea thrown in because they didn’t know how to end the story. The direction is a mess. It feels like the filmmaker had no idea what tone to land on. At times, it leans into surreal weirdness, at others it tries to be serious horror, and then it occasionally dips into unintentional comedy. There’s no consistency, no rhythm, and no confidence in the execution. But to be fair, that’s not entirely on the director—the screenplay itself is dreadful. It’s unfocused, awkwardly structured, and offers no payoff to the setup. When you start from a foundation this weak, no amount of directing flair can salvage it. I kept asking myself: how much money was actually wasted on this? Because the final product looks cheap, feels rushed, and plays out like a student film idea that accidentally stumbled onto two major streaming platforms. For a movie that could have leaned into practical scares, monster mythology, or even self-aware camp, it instead collapses under its own incoherence. Little Bites is one of those films where you sit there after it ends and go: “What the heck did I just watch?” Not in the fun, cult-classic way either—in the frustrating, disappointing, wasted-potential way. It’s a film I can’t recommend to anyone, not even as a “so-bad-it’s-good” experience. It’s just bad. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 09/29/25 Full Review Leah B Not really scary, I got the metaphor. I wanted to like it. But I really just hated it. Like someone pulling anothers teeth out, very slowly. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 09/28/25 Full Review Useless Party O This movie is so bad that it was super bad Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 09/20/25 Full Review Mckenzie R Very okay, borderline goofy. The beginning was eerie with really good imagery but the whole plot fell apart as the movie went on. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 09/12/25 Full Review Tyrell S The worst movie ever make no sense at all delete this from history. I wish I can give it no stars Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 09/01/25 Full Review Quarnetter R This movie was trash. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 08/31/25 Full Review Read all reviews
