"Bite Me," Shock-O-Rama Cinema, 2004, Directed by Brett Piper
This premeditated camp aspires to be "so bad it's good" and nearly succeeds. Shot with direct-to-dvd porn-like production values and some "Ice Pirates" level monster effects, it manages to be somewhat entertaining. There are no scares, little gore (the monsters are fragile, tarantula-sized ticks, that can be dispatched into a pint of splashing fake blood with a rolled-up newspaper), some laughs and a few groans. The presence of naked ladies seems calculated to win the movie a Friday night pay channel spot. Extras include an interview with star Misty Mundae--herself an aspiring filmmaker. One suspects that if the makers of "Bite Me!" aimed just a little higher they may actually hit the mark, but they are content to stay on the low road.
