Stephen C A failure in 1 hour and 33 minutes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The USA grossed over $10,900,000.00!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 07/04/25 Full Review Nick O The fact that it took Jim Carrey almost an entire decade after this movie to blowup to comedy superstar status blows my mind. He absolutely kills in this hilariously out to lunch vampiro-sex com! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/23/25 Full Review Tomato T Absolute must see! The movie manages to capture 80s America vividly and yet holds a deep philosophical meaning within. The unfolding plot starts intriguingly with a chaotic and yet clear outline whilst moving on, the movie is induced with a sense of creepiness and yet displays a lot of humoristic intensity. But I haven’t even started talking about the best part, which is, decidedly, Sebastian. Some people might say he is only a goofy side character, but the whole time, I was only thinking about him. The amount of times he LITERALLY came out of the closet was astounding but I LOVED EVERY SECOND OF IT. Concluding this review, I truly enjoyed the movie. My personal takeaway from it is that every person should have a Sebastian in their life and I really think the makers of this film should think about a sequel, dealing with Sebastian’s quarrels in life, albeit they might be dead idk Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/18/25 Full Review Carla T Wonderful Movie, I loved the deep meaning behind it, Sebastian is a queen Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/18/25 Full Review SkyRo P "Once Bitten" is a film featuring Jim Carrey from 1985, showcasing his early comedic talents. It’s interesting to see the corniness and quirky antics that he brought to the screen even back then, which laid the groundwork for his later, more developed performances. However, the film itself is undeniably cheesy, with dialogue that often feels over-the-top and somewhat disjointed. The script seems to miss the mark in several areas, making it difficult to fully engage with the story. The sheer level of corniness can be overwhelming, leaving viewers struggling to connect with what’s happening on screen. The plot revolves around a female vampire who must bite the inner thigh of a virgin to sustain her life. While this premise may have seemed fitting for the 80s, it doesn't translate well to modern sensibilities. The idea of a centuries-old woman preying on a teenage boy feels particularly uncomfortable now, making certain scenes off-putting. Overall, while "Once Bitten" offers a nostalgic glimpse into Jim Carrey's early career, it doesn't hold up well by today’s standards, and the humor often feels outdated and problematic. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/13/25 Full Review Erik B Very cheesy, as you might expect from a 1985 movie. Jim Carrey doesn't really do much to differentiate himself in this role, unlike Earth Girls are Easy, where you can really see his style shine through. Fun, but ultimately not worth multiple watches. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/11/25 Full Review Read all reviews
