Silent Bite

As far as low budget Christmas horror films go...this one isn't half bad!

The story begins with a group of bank robbers- after a rather successful Christmas Eve heist- who hold up in a seedy motel, while one of their team acts as a decoy, leading the police on a wild goose chase.

Though, they aren't the only ne'er-do-wells that are hiding out there.

As a coven of vampiresses have taken up residence in another room...just waiting for these men to show up...so that they can feed on them.

A present their "mother" has set up for them, for the holidays.

Which only leaves them with one choice...to fight for their lives till the sun comes up...

The writing, acting (for the most part), and plot structure are actually pretty decent.

Not great.

But certainly tolerable enough to keep things entertaining.

And there's some clever exploitation of the lore.

Which keeps things fresh.

It didn't have great reviews...so I wasn't expecting much out of it.

Leaving me pleasantly surprised with how good it actually is.

4 out of 10.

I wasn't expecting much from this, but have to admit I was pleasantly surprised how fun and entertaining this was. A little slow at first but rapidly picked up steam. The last 30 minutes was really good. Led by the always reliable British actor Simon Phillips as leader of a gang who just robbed a bank and are hiding out in a motel on Christmas Eve. Little do they know that a bunch a female Vampires are also staying there. Sort of a clever scenario with some comedy elements make this totally watchable which is more than I can say about many other recent theatrical releases. The acting with some of the supporting players may not be up to standards because of the low budget, but it somehow all seems to work here anyway.

OK if someone had only $1000 to make a Xmas movie with vampires in it then this movie would be it!

The so called gang are suppose to be in a hideout where they are waiting on their ticket to get out of the motel bar!

The characters of the gang are dull and you dont care if they all die because they are so unlikable.

So the gang are facing vampires who cant act for toffee! I do wonder if some of the cast have actually done any drama lessons in this life?

Overall the movie is a massive turkey of boredom and your usual horror cliches you find in these kind of movies.

Is this worth watching at all?

No its awful and very forgettable in truth.

1/10 Dont bother this movie sucks!

The idea of this movie is very interesting, that's what got me watching it in the first place. But I regretted doing so, cause the quality is so pitiful. The acting from most actors are second rate at best. The logic of its plot only works for kids who are still in kindergarten. I mean, using a spoon to kill a vampire?! Really? What do you think their skin are made of? Tofu?! LMFAO. And they didn't stay consistent with the vampire lore that they're using. At the end of the movie there's a vampire walking in the sunrise but not getting incinerated to dust. How the heck did that happen?! Because the screen writer said so? Major facepalm! I don't wanna be a jerk, so I added another star to my initial rating. I really think that in the hands of the right director and screen writers, this movie can turn out better. Way better!

It is Christmas Eve. Five criminals in Christmas costumes have robbed a bank. Four of them arrive at a roadside motel to get a room. Unbeknownst to them, there are beautiful women holding a girl captive in the hotel and they are vampires.

This starts on the wrong foot. It doesn't make sense that these criminals dressed in their costumes are booking a room while brazenly waving their guns. At that moment, I realized that form is more important than substance for this one. Obviously, somebody had the brilliant idea of Christmas characters going against vampires. Almost as obvious, those people did not think it all the way through.
