Bite Marks

Okay so this is by no means an award winning feature... I'm not even sure if you could call it a B title but I rather enjoyed it for the most part.

YES, it is cheesy! YES, it is lacking a budget! YES, it is not a masterpiece!

But it is fun... David Alanson does a good job in his first feature role. And he's not bad on the eyes either. Windham Beacham, veteran of gay cinema, plays Alanson's lover and Benjamin Lutz in his second feature holds own as well.

What I found rather interesting was the appearance of Stephen Geoffreys whom I have not seen in a feature since the 80's. Geoffreys' had left main stream cinema for a career in the adult industry for many years, under the names Sam Ritter and Stephan Bordeaux, and believe it or not was quite good as a hunky well chiseled power bottom.

Is this something to run out in a panic to see? No... but it is worth a watch on Netflix or a rental on an otherwise boring night.

I gave it 6 out of 10.

A bickering gay couple--Cary (Windham Beacham) and Vogel (David Alanson)--are backpacking across the country. They get tired and hitchhike and are picked up by hunky handsome trucker Brewster (Benjamin Lutz). He's transporting coffins (!!!) to a funeral home. However the truck breaks down near a deserted junkyard, night is falling and it seems the coffins in back have blood thirsty vampires...

It starts off OK. Lutz is a good actor and bares his butt briefly. Beacham and Alanson are OK too--and Alanson bares HIS butt. The basic plot is interesting but the film gets more convoluted as it goes on...and stupider. The comedy isn't that good either. If veers from OK to groan worthy and there are some gross out gags that I could have lived without. Still this is not horrible. Lutz and Alanson are VERY attractive, the vampire makeup is effective and there's a hilarious (and ACCURATE) conversation on vampires in films! I laughed out loud when Lutz says, "If you guys talk about "Twilight" I'm throwing you out!" So--all in all--just OK.

When I sat down to watch the 2011 movie "Bite Marks", I was under the impression that it was a horror comedy.

Sure, I had never heard about the movie, prior to sitting down and watching it, so writer and director Mark Bessenger essentially had every chance to entertain and impress me with this movie. However, that was not the case.

I found the storyline and narrative to be too mundane. The movie was devoid of comedy, and the horror elements throughout the course of the 84 minutes that the movie ran for were light. So I have to say that "Bite Marks" didn't pack much of any bite, pardon the pun.

I wasn't familiar with the cast ensemble in the movie, but I would say that the acting performances were actually fair enough.

Visually, then "Bite Marks" was okay. It wasn't a movie that made use of an abundance of special effects though.

Ultiamtely a movie that failed to impress me, and definitely not a movie that I will return to watch a second time. Nor is it a movie that I would recommend for fans of the horror comedy genre.

My rating of "Bite Marks" lands on a generous three out of ten stars.

I am not big fan of vamps movies, however this movie was horror/comedy!

The movies about two gays guys, who are on a trip and they get a ride with the trucker, who carrying coffins in the truck.

The movie takes a while for anything to real happen and the first half hour of the movie, the first scene in the movie, we see Trucker and his girlfriends and soon later. about other 20 Min's the guys having sex in toilet, when tucker stops for some lunch!

With that out the way, the movie really get started after 30mins mark,then they found out there are some creatures, the couple makes some comments about Dawn of the dead both! old and remake, they find out that are they vampires.

This movie makes it's own rules long the way, which l liked!

Really liked the fact that your Urine could kill a vampire, which I found really funny and never seen before, they are some really funny moments and they are some silly moments, which are little too baby-ish something that you will see in kids TV show.

Acting was okay but the vampires were not scary at all, but I never found vampires scary anyway (Expect for the Boy at the window in Salem's lot ) make up effect were really poor for the vampires.

It's was a fun movie 5 out of 10, it's not avoid movie at all but don't rush it out to see either, as it's just another An average horror movie.

For a low budget movie, director Mark Bessenger does a lot to entertain you. Benjamin Lutz is great in his roll as Brewster and pairs well with the other two main characters (played by David Alanson and Wyndham Beacham), making for a great ride. The effects were fun, if a bit cheesy. And the movie never takes itself too seriously, which makes it much easier to forgive some of the effects of having no budget. (That and the fact that there's so much eye candy in this film (thank you for David Alanson:-)) Definitely recommend watching this one. Not sure if it would be as good watching it at home but it was great at a theater. Try catching it as it makes the festival circuit, you wont be disappointed.
