A government experimental strain of large mutant spiders that behave as tics, has left Melpaso, Arizona (near Paramus, NJ) in a crate of marijuana.It ends up at the Go-Go Souros strip joint where the owner needs money fast to buy out his deceased partner's wife. The creatures become a problem.This is the second film I have seen where Misty Mundae is bitten by a spider. Misty is nice to look at, but really doesn't know how to pole dance. The jokes were not great and the situational comedy was flat. The film didn't really get good until the last 20 minutes...if you don't count the soft core nudity. As always Misty films are always fun as she tries to act.Guide: F-word. FFsex. Nudity (Misty Mundae, Julian Wells, Erika Smith, Caitlin Ross)

'Bite Me!' was great fun watching, I enjoyed every minute if it! Every character is achieving the opposite of what he/she intends to, that is the formula of the comedy effect. The manager of the club tries to organize everything, but gets mad over the whole chaos instead. Buzz the Exterminator loves insects too much to hurt them. The dancers are too tired to dance. And the lady who wants to ruin the manager becomes an attraction of his club instead. Well, for a short time at least. Only the bugs are good at what they are doing: bite! Even if the side-effects are remarkable...While everyone else would have used a guy in a suit to play the bug monster guy, Brett Piper used stop-animation for that, too, which is an amazing piece of work. Coincidentally, I made some stop-animation student films in the 1980s myself on 8mm film and know how much time, patience and care a few seconds of such a scene take, which is why hardly anyone still uses that technique anymore. Fortunately, exploitation flicks sometimes have a lot more to offer than just the female anatomy bits and buckets of blood. Not that I'm about to complain about either of these two, though... It's bug for the buck.

You get what you deserve if you rent this movie. I mean, if the title and the box art don't tell you that this is movie is horrible, then you need to recalibrate your crap meter. The only redeeming thing about this movie is that it seems to revel in its own manure like a pig, and it doesn't take itself very seriously. This movie is so bad, it's almost good. If they had cut the budget a little more and made the bugs out of paper mache, they could have called this the "Attack of the Killer Tomatoes" for the new millennium. It's pathetic films like this that keep horror in the ghetto. Just like school in the summertime... no class. Fans of Troma films will be in hog heaven, but everyone else should steer clear.

I enjoy watching cheesy horror movies. The more far-fetched and badly filmed they are, usually the more entertaining. Bite Me was my first and last "Shock-o-Rama" experience. The story had promise (bio-engineered marijuana, giant bugs, and strippers) but the acting is below porno-level, the effects (especially the bugs) look like they were done in Paintshop, and the story contains so many shower scenes and so much idiot dialog that getting through the entire movie was exhausting. Never watch this movie, and if this is an example of Shock-o-Rama's material, stay away from Shock-o-Rama. If you're looking for a good cheesy horror movie, check out "Demons at the Door" or "Corpses are Forever".
