I recently watched Little Bites (2024) on Shudder. The story follows a woman who allows herself to be eaten by a monster to keep her daughter safe. Meanwhile, child protective services starts asking questions, her health rapidly declines, and the pressure of keeping the monster fed becomes overwhelming. At some point, she won't be able to juggle it all...

This film is written and directed by Spider One (Allegoria) and stars Krsy Fox (Terrifier 3), Barbara Crampton (From Beyond), Jon Sklaroff (Three Kings), and Elizabeth Phoenix Caro (The Christmas Chronicles).

This was a mysterious and unsettling horror film, with Jon Sklaroff delivering a standout performance as both a villain and a monstrous presence. The ghoul's design and voice work are particularly effective, adding a sinister atmosphere to every feeding scene. The bites and gore effects are well done, and the film delivers some strong jump scares. The mother-daughter dynamic is well-executed, making the emotional weight of the story feel real. The mother's slow transformation and descent are handled well, and the film builds toward an ending that is both satisfying and chilling.

In conclusion, Little Bites is a solid entry in the horror genre that's worth a watch. I'd rate it a 6/10.
