Little Bites
The films in the horror genre are becoming less and less appealing as they clearly demonstrate their subject matter rather than letting the viewers piece together what’s left to be understood. There must be some ambiguity to horror, about what it tries to convey, and even its function. What you say gets dry when the attention switches from the atmosphere to the concept of the narrative. This is only one of the many grievances with Spider One’s and Exhumed Films gallery states as final graduate of Mars “Little Bites”, film that keeps pushing its motifs down the throat of its cast instead of the opposite, letting them act out and hope that the audience will get the idea themselves.
In the horror thriller drama “Terrifier 3,” Krsy Fox portrays Mindy Vogel; here, we invite you through the life of a widow, Mindy Vogel, featuring darkness embodied experiences. She has sent her daughter Alice (Elizabeth Phoenix Caro) to live with her grandmother (Bonnie Aarons) because she wants to shield her from a monster hibernating in a back room of their house demon named Agyar (Jon Sklaroff) who bears the hallmarks of Nosferatu though not strikingly so. In an interesting perspective as horror unfolds, Agyar’s disfigurement is a restraint to have ‘little bites’ of Mindy, instead of devouring her. This ostensibly what control is and also compels what addiction is. A monster that consumes parents rendering them unable to take care of their kids, and the very essence of motherhood. What has been made clear however is that for Mindy, the death bell went for forever if Agyar would only let Alice be. Maternity may come with huge sacrifices. And this can be connects to Krsy’s character looking confused and exhausted in spite of all of this realm since Agyar’s assault is both physical power and psychological manipulation.
The premise of the film revolves around a woman who is a single mother potentially being drained of her life force, and this is where Spider One takes it up a notch by taking creative license with the concept by incorporating other encounters that are somewhat completely in their own, but are not required for understanding the main story.
First scene shows a CPS worker, Sonya (better known as Barbara Crampton) who tries to question Mindy on the whereabouts of Alice. It’s striking as to how absorbing Crampton appears in these scenes, but they seem offensive to the story as for instance common sense dictates that a child can be in the custody of their grandmother for a few weeks while the actual mother is looking for a place to live. The scenes, however, are so poorly constructed that they are meant to get the audience to feel that tension is growing and Mindy’s secret can be given away. The same goes for the scene where Mindy tries to [more] feed Agyar with ice cream after her date with a guy she picked at a bus stop (Chaz Bono). The sequence swiftly goes into clumsy comedic territory as a result of the terrible drugged ice cream and offers no real analysis of the central character and her need for such events. One of the highlights of this movie, ‘Little Bites’ is soundly entertaining, even despite its impressive range of cast such as Heather Langenkamp who made her single on scene appearance as Heather, makes the viewer flinch with each and every dialogue scene due to heavy-handedness or fundamental uncertainty for the characters.
Perhaps it is this apparent inconsistency in the narrative and emphasis on the theme of play rather than reality that explains the many wooden or stilted performances. But everyone rises to the occasion like Crampton and Langenkamp, horror icons that never seem to take a beating. Almost everyone else, however, appears as lost as they do frightened or empowered. Conversations such as those incorporated between Mindy and her mother do not sound credible at all and this contravenes the illusion that such a film ought to create pretty too often. Fox gives quite a valiant effort in it (mostly because I think she’s in almost every frame), and I have to say I’d like to watch her in a more challenging part than this one. In my opinion, it is rather frustrating to watch a person almost completely engulf herself in a film only to end up playing a character who has no direction for her performance. Motherhood is complicated. Filmmaking is as well.
