However things take a turn for the worse when Danika murders Jack's ex-girlfriend Sherry (Jordan Madley) sprouts fangs & drinks her blood, Danika is a Vampire who needs fresh human blood to survive & a lovesick Jack goes along with it at the start. As the bodies pile up & the guilt begins to hit Jack realises that he must put an end to his & Danika's relationship & put an end to her murdering blood drinking ways...
This Canadian production was directed by Harvey Glazer & could be described as a dark comic horror about twisted love & a hot looking Vampire girl, while nothing amazing I did actually quite like Bitten for what it was. The script is nothing that original in the sense of a love affair between a Vampire & a mortal being that has been the plot for many a Vampire film before but there's a nice dark comic edge here with some amusing filthy foul mouthed one-liners, a few mildly amusing gags & there's a fair amount of blood splatter, nudity & sex. There's no real origin behind Danika & her Vampirism, it's never really made clear if Danika was a Vampire all the time or was turned into one during an attack. Bitten is limited in ambition, the majority of the film is set inside Jack's dark apartment & apart from the scene when Jack finds her Danika never actually leaves the apartment. At a little over 80 minutes in length Bitten moves along at a decent enough pace, it has a good laid-back vibe & is watchable if your a horror fan but there's not too much to it & it does get a little repetitive as there seems to be endless chatter about Danika & her needs. Bitten also tries to say a few things about relationship's, dependency & work but it's hardly life changing stuff. Keep watching after the end credits as there's an extra scene which dilutes the ambiguous ending a little although I am sure some will like the sense of closure.
The film looks quite good, it's competent even though it's quite darkly lit. Erica Cox is a real hottie & she gets her breast's out on several occasion & for that we thank her. There are a few sex scenes including a threesome with a hot blonde which is also appreciated. As far as blood & gore goes there's a lot of blood splatter but not that much actual gore or special effects, there's a dead rotting corpse & that's about it. There's a really odd scene early on set in a shop where an obviously exaggerated Asian shop keeper directs loads of abuse at Jack for no good reason while later on Jack is sent to treat him after a robbery although we never find out if the guy lives or dies in what I assume to be a message about treating people right. There is also two bizarre scenes which are meant to be funny as Jack cleans up the bloody mess left by Danika after she feeds which are montages set to what sounds like a child's song from Barney the Dinosaur about tidying up your mess.
Filmed in Ontario in Canada this looks like it had a reasonable budget, sure it's not Hollywood money but it looks quite nice with good production values. The acting is good, the two leads are pretty good with Erica Cox very attractive to go with it. Richard Fitzpatrick as Roger the comedy relief is amusing as he constantly talks about taking a crap.
Bitten is a decent little horror comedy actually, it was a lot better than I thought it would be & together with some nudity & a few darkly comedic moments this turned out very watchable. Although nothing that memorable or amazing I liked it for what it was.
