Curse II: The Bite

After a young man is bitten on the hand by a radioactive snake, his hand changes into a lethal snake head, which attacks everyone he comes into contact with. Also, his body becomes filled with snakes. Now, he must prevent himself from hurting others. "Curse II" is not only poorly made, but is also boring as watching paint dry. There are some gruesome parts, and screaming mad George's special effects range from really bad to acceptable, but the script is awful, the acting is so-so, and the music is extremely annoying. Don't watch 'Curse 2: the bite". it's a typical excuse for a sequel. (By the way, what does this have to do with the original?) 2-2.5/10.

Okay, I'm glad the only thing that this and the first film have in common is they both have scenes with REALLY REALLY REALLY religious people. While this one is a little better than the CURSE it is not a great film, it should have been titled something else, maybe then I could enjoy it more. Maybe just The Bite, or do that Hollywood thing and put THE BYTE! But then people may think it's about a computer!

On a scale of ONE to TEN the CURSE II:THE BITE gets a 5! Because it's the sequel of the movie with the guy from Stand By Me in it!

This is never explained but i borrowed that line partially from the movie The Reptile (1966).

Also can someone tell me what was the deal with the gas station attendant n his hidden creature?

I first saw this in the early 90s on a vhs n didn't enjoy it then. In fact, i still find part one better.

This one is very boring.

The first kill happens around the 55th min n that too nothing scary or gory bah it. The effects are very lousy and add to it the atrocious editing where u can't make out wots going on.

While the first part was based on Color Out Of Space, this one doesn't have anything to do with the first part or the book.

The lead female character is so mean that she leaves the small girl all alone in the house knowing that the girl's parents are killed by her boyfriend's hand cum snake.

In Stepfather, Jill Schoelen was 24 but she played a 16 year old in it and her nudity was a put off n uncalled for.

But here in Curse 2 we dont get to see her nude inspite of an offscreen sex scene n a lousy shower scene.

The plot - A man is bitten by a snake and somehow his bitten hand undergoes transformation into a hideous snake monster, which kills everyone who comes closer to him. The man tries to run away from his girlfriend to protect her but the girlfriend pursuits him n puts herself in danger while the local sheriff, his deputies n the town's doctor (Pinocchio nose fella) wants to track and destroy the monster once and for all.

The movie has a lil gore but tension, suspense, atmosphere is totally missing.

Back when I was a boy, my dad used to go to the 'video shop' to rent a film for the family to watch. My dad had a talent for choosing the worst films in the shop, but when he came home with 'The Bite' one night; I seem to remember thoroughly enjoying it. I've revisited a number of favourites from my childhood since becoming a 'serious' film fan, and have mostly been disappointed; but with this film, I agree with my childhood self that it's an enjoyable and fun little flick. I'm not sure where the 'Curse II' prefix comes from - I've not seen the original Curse, and even if this is a sequel, it still nicely stands on its own. I do, however, suspect that the prefix is a cash-in - and from now on I'll refer to this film as 'The Bite'. The plot focuses on a young couple; Clark and Lisa, who are driving across the desert for some reason. After breaking down, Clark's bad luck continues when he's bitten by a snake - and continues further when the snake turns out to be radioactive and the hand he was bitten starts to become a snake itself! On his tail are a salesman/wannabe doctor and the county sheriff.

This film has two main problems when it comes to the plot. First of all, it takes far too long to get going; I have no problem with build-up, but this film verges on being boring too often, and the build-up fails to generate any interesting characters...so it feels rather pointless. Secondly, the plot base had a lot more to offer than what we got. I guess the film took influence from Cronenberg's masterpiece 'The Fly', as it features similar themes; but the idea is never really explored, and while things such as the dog at the start get the imagination going, it's all very mundane for the most part. The acting isn't too bad, although J. Eddie Peck was miscast in the lead role. The Stepfather's Jill Schoelen is a pleasure to watch, while the likes of Jamie Farr and Bo Svenson do well in support. The gore isn't too bad either, and there are some suitably nasty scenes throughout the film. The ending is a highlight as it features the film's best stint in terms of atmosphere, and also gives a suitable climax to a macabre little tale. Overall, this is far from perfect; but despite its flaws, The Bite is still worth seeing and I recommend it to my fellow trash fans.

I have always been a big fan of Jill Schoelen (The Stepfather). When I found out she was in this film I had to rent it. It's not the best film. But I didn't think it was the worse either.

some of the things that didn't work for me included the cheesy music that came on when ever there was an attack and some of the scenes could have been shot a little better. The film tends to drag.

Highlights in the film were the lovely Jill Schoelen as Lisa. I enjoyed seeing her sing and play the guitar. She is decent with the role of Lisa. J. Eddie Peck is easy on the eyes as Clark. There is some decent gore considering the low budget. The ending is really good. It's worth a look for the special effects or anyone who likes Jill Schoelen.
