[tabby title="Bite"] Body horror films are a type of flicks that do their hardest to gross you out, be it through teleportation mishaps (The Fly), to sex with a man who has sex with dead people (Contraction). Bite is a body horror film that succeeds at grossing out the viewer, providing plenty of outstanding practical effects. The film is not bad, but it is restrictive in with the plot, keeping the main character and story confined to one set (an apartment), with only a few people involved. Bite is a low-budget Canadian horror film being released in limited theaters, On Demand and Digital on May 6th from Scream Factory. As for the film itself, it 's not going to impress everyone, but I think if you give it a chance, you 'll come out liking The movie opens with the dreaded found footage style of lazy man filmmaking. I groaned loudly when I saw this, but thankfully after the opening scene of the movie, it switches to the normal style of shooting (aka, the non-lazy way). Bite follows Casey (Elma Begovic) as she gets bit on the ass by a mysterious bug, whilst on her bachelorette trip to the tropics. When she returns home, she notices the bite is getting worse. As with all other body horror films, Casey decides to stupidly shrug it off and not go to the doctor. As the days go on, she starts getting worse and worse, eventually - and arguably the best scenes in the film - regurgitating pearly looking eggs aplenty. Bite is a fairly simple film, with only a few people and very limited set pieces. Obviously, this is due to the scale of the budget, but it does hurt the film some. Some viewers are going to feel cheated when they realize not much is actually going to happen. There are a total of around five characters in the film and not much character development is done on them, even Elma Begovic 's character is paper thin for the most part. Also, don 't expect the movie to explain what bit her and why this is all happening. However, if what you are craving is some gnarly gross-out scenes, you 'll be very happy with Bite. It seems most of the budget was spent on the practical effects and they all work quite
The Sting is a classic story of revenge for the death of a good friend. Instead of the revenge being an eye for an eye, Hill has the leading characters get their revenge by coning the ,man responsible for the death, out of his money. Within the first ten minutes you are grabbed into the film. Hill breaks the conformity of other films by making the leading characters con-men. This is very different from other films because these men should not be looked at as the good guys but just the opposite.
Released in 1949, Pinky regales the tale of Patricia “Pinky” Johnson (played by Jeanne Crain) and her struggles in Mississippi during the Jim Crow era. Pinky, a certified nurse from up North, relocates back to Mississippi because she is afraid of being discovered passing, or having black blood but being so light skinned that one can pass for white. However, she is in love with Dr. Thomas Adams, played by William Lundigan, a white man whom she met while she was living in Boston for nursing school. Upon her return to Mississippi, her illiterate grandmother Aunt Dicey takes care of her, but eventually asks her to take care of her dying, white friend, Miss Em. Despite her efforts to go back to the North in order to escape from the racial barriers of Mississippi, Pinky reluctantly agrees to
It is terrifying without being grotesque, and spectacular without being unbelievable (if the shark looks a little fake, remember that, at the time 'Jaws' was released, 'Space Invaders' was on the cutting edge of computer graphics design and there was no such thing as 'Shark Week on the Discovery Channel'). Roy Scheider's Brody is a quintessential everyman, an average guy beset by fear and guilt who finds himself in extraordinary circumstances and rises to the occasion. Dreyfuss' Hooper is brash and brave enough not to come off as nerdy or self-righteous, and his friendship with Brody becomes the backbone of the movie (Spielberg and screenwriter Carl Gottlieb wisely deviated from the novel in regards to the character of Hooper, who was originally Brody's nemesis). Robert Shaw's Quint is a modern-day Captain Ahab, a worthy foe for the malevolent shark. The suspense is potent and the action thrilling, but the humor, emotion, and character development make this movie much more than a summer

Quentin Tarantino’s Pulp Fiction is one of the most daring, puzzling, and ultimately exciting pieces of cinema to hit the screen in years. As wholly original as it is a copy of hundreds of films before it about tales of hit-men and criminals, it dares you to step out of the dull and enter a colorful, exhilarating world that could only be Los Angeles. The intensity level of the movie is off the scale. People are laughing like crazy in the theater to the intelligent dialog and other scenes that have the audience gasping for air in shock over what just happened. Although one might say that Pulp Fiction is overly violent and disturbing, it is in fact, one of the greatest movies ever produced. Quentin Tarantino’s incredible screenplay, the intensity of the actors, and music to set the mood, created movie worthy five stars.
I have always enjoyed your product called the smiley face mashed potatoes, they always make me happy seeing their friendly faces draws me in for a bite. Every time I go to the store I get a bag of them out of the frozen foods section, The first time that I tried them, I was over at a friend's house and we were eating them for dinner. After one bite I knew I would have to start getting them more often. So I told my Mom about them and we got a bag the next time we went to Walmart. Nevertheless, my whole family fell in love with the unusually shaped potatoes.
Gruesome Playground Injuries traces the injuries that two characters face over a three-decade span. Their wounds keep them together as each scene starts with Doug entering the scene with a new injury. As the two first meet up in the nurse’s office in their elementary school Kayleen points out Doug’s “large gauze bandage wrapped and taped across his face” (Joseph 5). Through this action eight year old Kayleen starts a tradition whenever they meet by asking him “What happened to your face?” (Joseph 5). Upon all of Doug’s entries in each scene, Kayleen would notice his injuries and ask Doug “What did you do” (Jospeh 11) or “What happened to you?” (11) Doug constantly hurts himself throughout the scenes through acts of carelessness, riding off rooftops with bikes, blowing out his eye with fireworks, and knocking out his teeth with a hammer. After recklessly injuring himself, Doug turns to Kayleen hoping that she would be “able to mend [his] wounds.” (16) As Kayleen heals him through her “superpowers” (17), Doug continues to be open about how he needs her during...
This is an ironic and unfortunate example of a film that would have really been considered a lot better than it is if it were not for the book upon which it is based. It is clear that the film is strong and that it is well made, but when compared to Shelley's novel, it's really a pretty sad mess. The film by itself is more than able to captivate and impress, but to someone who knows the original story, it is a weak attempt to bring the story of Frankenstein and his monster to the big screen.

Because sexual cannibalism is considered to be a social taboo both today, and during the times of Tarzan and Marlow, the creation of entertainment based on it has been limited, though the urges to expand on this topic may have been far more prevalent. There have been many films and novels created which depict the anthropophagy related to animals, most specifically, spiders. For example, films such as “Invasion of the Body Snatchers” and “Little Shop of Horrors” develop the similarities among human and insect anthropophagy (O’Connor).
This contemporary film of the nineties can be a thriller especially for young adult movie goers, but can be viewed by all 17 and over persons for it must be rated R due to some profanity and explicit sexual scenes in the film. Lots of loud pop/rap/alternative music and vibrant colors can add much flavor and pizazz to this flick. Action, drama, murder, mystery, sex, and much more can really jazz up this film. The setting would be in England of course and it would include buildings, city streets, cars, and the night life. Certainly, the costs of making this film would be expensive due to the all star cast and the location it will be filmed in. But wouldn't it be worth it if it becomes a big hit? Being directed by Quentin Terrintino and all?

Animal bites on humans may cause open wounds or even crushing injuries. Like us, all animals carry certain bacteria or viruses that can cause illness if passed on to humans via the open wounds. The pathogen entry pathway for these zoonotic infections include bites or scratches, and direct contact saliva or waste. These diseases bring about a considerable amount of inconvenience to humans and therefore, the greatest concerns are of young children and immunocompromised patients. Children are especially susceptible to getting bitten and an adult supervision is always recommended because their immune systems are still weak and an infection that might mildly infect an adult can be fatal for them.
