I watched this last night i like the idea and the concept of this movie but the dialogue and acting was terrible .The only good bits were the actual Werewolfs and the Werewolf kills they looked pretty good but the main characters none of them were likable in my books plus they were all pretty annoying and unbelieveble. But i did like the overall idea and story to me that was pretty original .I think if they had overhauled or reviewed and improved the script plus get better actors or people that could actually act this would have been a really good movie. Coming from the Uncorked film studios i kind of expected a bit more.
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 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.

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 found this movie to be very entertaining. It was so fun to watch. It may have been a silly movie, but I am very impressed with the fact that they did not use ANY CGI. That was refreshing. This movie shows that the people who directed it put heart into it. The dialog and acting was as if they were new actors putting their all into it. I hope that this movie becomes a "cult classic" because I want all the supporting gear. It made me smile the whole time. I wish to see more movies like this in the future. I would buy a collection of them.
I told everyone I know who loves horror movies to see it too.
