BITTEN
Love me some Jason Mewes!
PLOT
Jack (Jason Mewes) is just your average, ordinary guy who happens to work as a late shift EMT. As he tells his partner Roger, he can’t meet a good woman or at least the type of woman who takes care of him sometimes instead of always expecting him to do the work. One night he sees a junkie laying in the alley next to his apartment, but quickly discovers that it’s a sick woman. He takes her home and moves her in yet she waits several days before telling him that her name’s Danika. One night she has what he thinks are withdraw pains, but she refuses to take him to the hospital so he calls Roger for help. His ex-girlfriend shows up the next night and Danika kills her. He freaks out when he finds what she did, but that doesn’t stop her from screwing her, even after she bites him and he realizes what she is…
TRIVIA
Had its premiere on the Sci-Fi Channel.
THOUGHTS
I’m fascinated with Jason Mewes, but more for his personal life than his professional work. I have no clue how he can continue to act in movies with frequent references to drugs and alcohol based on his past history and especially with his instances that he’s clean and sober. That said, Bitten wasn’t that bad of a movie. There were parts when I actually laughed out loud, but those scenes seemed fairly unintentional. When they tried too hard, you could tell and those scenes were painful than anything. Take for example scenes where he’s cleaning up blood and they play some happy little kids song about cleaning. I just winced and rolled my eyes. After learning that it was on the Sci-Fi Channel not too long ago, I wish I had just watched it then instead of wasting a few bucks on the rental. It was good, but it wasn’t great.
