"I've watched a LOT of movies. I've watched a LOT of bad movies (The Unnameable II). I've watched a lot of bad movies with good qualities (Love And A Bullet & Gang of Roses - both unintentionally hilarious, in a MST3K kinda way) but its very rare that I watch a movie and go "that was a completely unforgivable waste of my two hours of time".

This is one of those movies (the 1988 Nightfall is another). What makes it worse is, unlike the movies I mentioned above, there's no good camera work, sets, sound design, special efx nor even music (granted, hip-hop is notoriously hard to utilize for anything outside the "urban flick" genre) that would make this movie worth watching, even if you're only watching to make fun of it.

The script is bad, the acting's bad, the lighting was beyond atrocious(at least indoors, the outdoor scenes all used what looked like natural light, but the cinematographer seemed to think White Balance was a European in the frame) the villian wasn't scary. . . making the few moments of brilliance (see the baseball interrogation scene, if you can stomach the rest of the flick) all the more glaring.

Avoid this like the plague!

LIGHTEN UP!

"This flick is a "B" movie! for crying out loud, they probably had a budget of about 6k. When you are working with those figures you have to as they say in the business: WRITE FOR BUDGET" this flick had a lot of problems eg, the script, but it wasn't (that) bad, it is fairly enjoyable IF, you meet it half way, and refrain from holding it to million dollar budget standards, yes it is worth seeing once."

This is PLAIN GARBAGE!!!

"I'm a sucker for a vampire movie and usually watch every one that comes along and I can usually find something I like, but this was the exception.

Acting is terrible, the script is even worse, whoever wrote the dialogue should be shot.

The filming isn't too bad, obviously an amateur, but I could get past that if the sets weren't so ugly, dirty, forboding and boring.

Compared to this turkey, "Love at First Bite" is academy-award worthy."
