Byte

As a fellow werewolf enthusiast, I was intrigued by the premise of Byte (2024), which offers a modern twist on lycanthropy through a mysterious app. The concept is innovative, blending technology with classic horror elements, and it sets the stage for a potentially engaging narrative.

However, the film's execution leaves much to be desired. The pacing is uneven, with significant lulls that detract from the overall tension. Character development is minimal, making it challenging to connect with the protagonists on a deeper level. The dialogue often feels stilted, and some plot points lack coherence, leading to a disjointed viewing experience.

On a positive note, the practical effects, particularly the werewolf design, are commendable for an independent production. The creature's appearance pays homage to classic werewolf portrayals, which may resonate with genre fans. However, the film could have benefited from more dynamic transformation sequences to heighten the horror elements.

In summary, while Byte introduces an intriguing premise, it falls short in execution. For die-hard werewolf aficionados, it might be worth a watch for its unique concept and practical effects, but tempering expectations is advisable.

I feel bad giving something less than three stars, but I couldn't justify giving it a full three. The premise had a lot of potential. While the 'killer app' concept in a horror movie has been done before, the werewolf twist added a unique touch. Unfortunately, the acting was a major letdown-it felt pretty cringeworthy at times. That said, I'm a sucker for fun teen horror, so I did find some enjoyment in it.

I also want to mention that I don't mind the amateur makeup and special effects. As a huge Buffy the Vampire Slayer fan, I'm used to a bit of silliness in costumes. That said, it is 2024, so I can't help but wonder about the budget.

I enjoyed watching this. I feel very well written. It held my interest throughout. That is very important to me when watching movies. There have been many that I have gotten quickly bored with and decided not to continue watching. I think there are many people out there that will really enjoy this one. The characters are very relatable so you are quickly drawn in. I think for an Independent movie with a low funding budget was better than some big budget ones I have watched. I know everyone is different but that's my opinion on this one.

I suggest watching this movie and see what you think. Enjoy it.

A modern twist on classic werewolves with the charm and entertainment of 80s favorites. The modern spin makes BYTE an interesting watch, but, even with the modernity, the vibe of it all is soooo 80s. The werewolves look incredible for what the budget was. The gore is a bit cheesy and a tad unimaginative but that doesn't take away from the rest of the movie for me. The acting fell a little flat and there were some audio issues. At times, those factors took me out of the movie a bit. But never for long! An entertaining and fun watch. I'd absolutely recommend this movie to fellow horror enjoyers.

Lemme start off with saying, when it comes to my Horror movies, I prefer them mostly scary, serious, and making me wanna jump out of my seat. . . This movie, is mostly your B-Rate, Cheesy film, but perhaps a lil better.. So, if that's your schtick, this movie is for you.

This movie has an interesting plot, and takes on a modern vibe for the movie, with cell phones, apps etc etc, hence the word, BYTE rather than Bite.

The effects, prosthetics, staging, setups, storyline and whatnot were fairly decent, but, I was totally taken out with the ketchup squirt blood, bad acting, and forced plot...

If the movie KNOWS it's a cheesy movie, it's one thing, when a movie TRIES to be cheesy and nails it, is another. I'm not sure which one that the cast and crew were going for. . .
