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.
Just watched BYTE and I gotta say, it was a lot more fun than I expected! It's an indie horror movie that doesn't try to be anything overly fancy, but it delivers a good time. The premise is a bit wild, but it manages to keep you engaged throughout, and the practical effects on the werewolf are pretty impressive for a lower-budget film.
The acting can be a little hit or miss, and there are some slower moments, but it definitely picks up towards the end. The film has this charming, campy vibe that works really well if you're into quirky horror flicks. It doesn't try to be groundbreaking, but it knows what it's doing and has a lot of fun with the concept.
If you're a fan of werewolf films or just looking for a light, bloody horror movie to pass the time, BYTE is worth checking out!

This movie is for the horror fans. The people who want an interestingly dark story that makes you think "what if?...like what the heck?"
It is for the ones who aren't watching for the actors or the studio backing the film.
It's for the fans who want an original and interesting story told with a baseline they not only can work with but vehemently demand that their creative side runs wild with ideas of WTF WHAT IF?
If you have to be spoonfed every little nuance and detail, all you will do is complain...you will walk away missing out on the rabbit hole this story sends the rest of us down... A lil imagination and a desire for the twisted and this movie will give you all you need in an hour and a half for a weekend full of self terrorizing on thoughts of a hypothetical werewolf apocalypse.

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.

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.
