REVIEW: BITTEN on DVD

I just had the opportunity to watch the latest horror-thriller DVD from Vinvedi Entertainment and RHI Entertainment titled BITTEN. It stars Jason Mewes who plays Jack, a good-hearted, hard-working and let us not leave out FOUL-MOUTHED EMT. I firmly believe Mewes was being paid a bonus per f-bombs that he dropped during this film. Now I'm not a prude and profanity has it's place but this was excessive. Now back to the review. Jack finds a young woman on the street named Danika who is dying and refuses to be taken to the hospital. Jack takes her home and nurses her back to health. Girl gets better, changed into a vampire and Jack gets the hots for her. Every time Danika and Jack get all hot and heavy, Danika wants to eat him - literally. Jack starts bringing her snacks in the form of the neighborhood drug dealing trash but her appetite seems to be insatiable.

This is your typical made for Syfy movie. It's got a standard human/vampire story line that has been milked for all it's worth. This film lacks focus and often has a very awkward feel to it. The failed attempts at comic relief and poorly delivered jokes only add to the awkwardness. The dialogue is odd and the acting seems forced and unnatural. I watched this film constantly waiting for some big revelation or, at the very least, a point to the story and sadly one never came.

BITTEN is not a horribly bad film. It's one saving grace may possibly be lots of gratuitous nudity. It's just one of those films you sit through and forget about the next day. Love sucks and so does BITTEN.

BITTEN hit stores July 6th from RHI Entertainment & Vivendi Entertainment.
