    The Most Creative Story About Vampires Ever

    Bite Me is the most creative story about vampires I have seen. Like many teenagers, I am an ardent vampire folklore fan, romance-focused to be more specific. Twilight and Vampire Diaries among the most popular vampire series, and this film is a refreshing and enticing change in the vampire lore storytelling.

    Bite Me is romantic comedy about an IRS agent, James (Christian Coulson) and a real-life vampire, Sarah (Naomi McDougall Jones). As Sarah gets a concerning message from the IRS about her church called Twilight she must explain to James about her lifestyle to throw out the case. As romance sparks between these two unlikely lovers, will Sarah have to choose between blood and James? And is James's love strong enough to handle her bite?

    The idea of a real-life 21-century vampire is such an interesting concept. In the beginning of the film I was confused, though, by what they meant by the word "vampire"-with so many different variations of this fictional creature in storytelling, I had a hard time defining it. However, director Meredith Edwards cleverly defines this film's interpretation of vampires throughout the story. This is done through James' hilarious jokes and twists on the stereotypical vampire, which are then debunked by Sarah or another vampire. In terms of the film, the cinematography is excellent. The footage is extremely clear and has a depth that almost seems like an "IMAX effect." Naomi McDougall Jones is the best actress to play a modern-day vampire! Many people could relate to her story in the film- minus the blood. Her co-star Christian Coulson plays James as so cheesy and odd and does things like busts into breakdancing, which is my favorite scene. His character is a perfect example that even the most average "mundane" people can live fantastical lives. My favorite character is played by Annie Golden- she provides great comic relief throughout. Like a lot of romcoms, Bite Me is set in New York City which creates the perfect tone for every section of the movie.

    The message of Bite Me is simply to love who you are and who you wish to become. Sarah and James are both looking for something more in their lives, but realize that it might just be each other. This movie contains some profanity, brief sexual content, and blood, which may be disturbing for younger audiences. The movie promotes some negative behavior that may be mimicked by younger children.

    I give Bite Me 5 out of 5 stars, and I recommend it for ages 13 to 18, plus adults. You can watch Bite Me on digital download on February 8, 2022. By Ashleigh C., KIDS FIRST!

    Fun! Soo much fun. Go for the ride with a DATE!

    This movie is so much fun! Also romantic, clever and sweet and.... did I mention fun? The leads offer terrific performances, and the New York City Vampire clan is an intriguing thing to look at ... if you DARE! Watch with a date and bring red wine!

    A broad, messagy rom-com that lives or dies on its resonance

    In contemporary America, and presumably elsewhere, there are a lot of subcultures that have an expectation that whatever ostensibly weird thing it is they're into is honest, real, and completely harmless, if not virtuous. The corollary is that you should be fine with it, and even if there are some things about it that don't make a lot of sense, you should politely nod, say something like "that's very interesting," and not try to poke holes in it. Which this movie flatly tells you, so there's not much doubt about this being its main message. Because it revolves around this, your enjoyment of it is likely to depend on where you stand on accepting such things, like that there are real-life "vampires" who (from their POV) need to drink blood. (This is a 100% real thing, in the real world; they ain't making it up.) Enthusiasts of unconventional subcultures are likely to enjoy the message and representation, while the more conservative among us will probably be turned off by it.

    Coming from what I feel like is a middle ground on this, it's a middling movie. It has a real intention to be a "rom-com," so it follows a familiar formula, while trying to use that familiarity to comment on the message at hand. It's somewhat successful there, and the plot has above-average smarts, relative to the world of rom-comery. It can be somewhat sweet and amusing, but the comedy is very broad, often crossing into corniness, and still, as someone who doesn't completely buy into the message, it isn't funny enough to let me wholly sympathize with plucky vampires trying to get away with tax evasion.

    more creative fiction in the patently fake/shill reviews than in this botch of a film

    OK so the friends and family of those unfortunate enough to be in this film are spamming the reviews with "10 star" ratings.

    Doesn't change the fact that this film terrible, unbearably badly done in every way

    Most human story about vampires

    Saw BiteMe at NYC premier. It's a heartwarming, very relevant film that's finding it's audience and paving a new way to self distribution.

      When Sarah explains what a "mundane" is to James, he remarks that it sounds very similar to a "muggle." Christian Coulson, who plays James, also played Tom Riddle in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (2002).
