A letto col vampiro

The paramedic Jack (Jason Mewes) works in the graveyard shift and is needy of love since his girlfriend Sherry (Jordan Madley) dumped him. His peer Roger (Richard Fitzpatrick) is bored of his laments in the ambulance and suggests him to date another girl. While going home after hours, he sees a beautiful woman covered with blood in the alley and she refuses to go to the hospital. Jack brings the stranger home and nurses her until she is recovered and tells her name, Danika (Erica Cox). Jack falls in love with Danika that seems to be drug addicted suffering from withdraw symptoms. Sooner Jack discovers that Danika is a vampire and she is not addicted but starving of blood and he has a serious problem at home.

"Bitten" is a politically incorrect comedy about the love between a lovelorn paramedic and a sexy vampire starved of blood. The story is entertaining and Jason "Jay" Mewes and Richard Fitzpatrick are very funny most of the time. I was disappointed with the open end of the film but I found that the conclusion is actually in the end of the credits with Roger nursing Jack. My vote is five.

Title (Brazil): "Amor Entre Vampiros" ("Love Between Vampires")

There are B- grade movies . . . and then there are way, way . . . way below B- grade movies. This is absolutely one of them.

Actually, this is one of those films that is so completely ridiculous and awful that it could become a true classic, sort of the "Plan 9 From Outer Space" of the modern vampire genre'.

I can't possibly imagine anyone connected with this project was actually serious while they were in production. They must have been having quite a party offset, having way too much fun while shooting this thing.

Erica Cox is fun to watch (what a perfect name), I have to admit.

In an attempt to put some sort of life into this creation, there is a bit of quasi porn woven into the "plot" (I use that word very sparingly here). This could be quite fun to watch, if one is in the right mindset.

Perhaps some recreational imbibement should be recommended before attempting to view this.

OK . . . considering its comedy value, I could actually offer (gasp) 5 stars for this one. But be warned, this is definitely not academy award material.

Jason Mewes (Clerks, Jay and Silent Bob, Mallrats) is a para medic who finds a girl in trouble (Erica Cox). Trouble is, she has a bloody secret.

The problem is that Danika (Cox) has some really strange foreplay issues. In order not to hurt Jack (Mewes), she has to have her foreplay with someone else before they have sex. Of course, when she has her foreplay with Maya (Amy Lynn Grover), it really gets interesting. Now we have two gorgeous naked babes in bed covered in blood.

Jack is really flipping out, because he has to clean up the mess. The body count is really rising.

How is he going to solve his problem? Normal women are tough enough, but a vampire?

Really funny.

A young paramedic by the name of Jack (Jason Mewes) suffered from his last relationship. He works night with his only middle-age perverter buddy (Richard Fitzpatrick). Jack meets a woman (Erica Cox) from a dumpster and helps her. Which this mysterious woman lost of a lot of blood. He cleans her up and falls in love with her. But this attractive woman isn't what she seems to be. She is actually a vampire. He decides to pick up lowlifes from the streets to feed her but soon enough... it gets out of hand.

Directed by Harvey Glazer (Kickin It Old Skool) made an interesting if not entirely successful black comedy/horror film. There's a few effective moments here and there. Mewes and Cox do well with their performances. The odd moments of dark humour doesn't always works but it later improves, when the story finally gets better. Although the conclusion could have been much stronger. Cox certainly looks great with her odd eye contacts, being topless half of the time and even with her face covered in blood. Worth a look, especially if you are a fan of Mewes. (*** ½/*****).

Jack's (Jason Mewes) life is a shambles. His night-shift job as a paramedic is exhausting, his apartment is a hovel, and his girlfriend has dumped him. Walking home after another bleak night, Jack finds a beautiful woman (Erica Cox) in a pile of trash, covered in blood.

Her name is Danika.

Jack takes Danika in, and nurses her back to health. He doesn't know that she has a terrible secret. An addiction to a certain warm, red fluid. Jack's life is about to get very complicated.

BITTEN is one of the better low-budget vampire comedies. Much of the comic relief is supplied by Jack's work partner Roger (Richard Fitzpatrick), who keeps the filthy comments flowing. This helps to break up the darkness and gore.

Gruesome goodness...
