Body horror requires a certain level of confidence in its concept & execution to be successful. More so that most other sub-genres of horror. If the seams show, I tend to be out. Although my fingers are tightly crossed that Ejecta director Chad Archibald pulled this off, right now it looks like a rough combination of Contracted meets The Fly.
“While on her bachelorette party getaway, Casey, the bride to be, gets a seemingly harmless bite from an unknown insect. After returning home with cold feet, Casey tries to call off her wedding but before she’s able to, she starts exhibiting insect like traits. Between her physical transformation and her wedding anxiety, Casey succumbs to her new instincts and begins creating a hive that not only houses her translucent eggs, but feeds on the flesh of others. As her transformation becomes complete, Casey discovers that everything can change with a single bite.”
Bite will have its world premiere at this years Montreal Fantasia Festival. Hopefully we’ll lay our eggs eyes on this soon after.
