Silent Bite

The idea of this movie is very interesting, that's what got me watching it in the first place. But I regretted doing so, cause the quality is so pitiful. The acting from most actors are second rate at best. The logic of its plot only works for kids who are still in kindergarten. I mean, using a spoon to kill a vampire?! Really? What do you think their skin are made of? Tofu?! LMFAO. And they didn't stay consistent with the vampire lore that they're using. At the end of the movie there's a vampire walking in the sunrise but not getting incinerated to dust. How the heck did that happen?! Because the screen writer said so? Major facepalm! I don't wanna be a jerk, so I added another star to my initial rating. I really think that in the hands of the right director and screen writers, this movie can turn out better. Way better!

As far as low budget Christmas horror films go...this one isn't half bad!

The story begins with a group of bank robbers- after a rather successful Christmas Eve heist- who hold up in a seedy motel, while one of their team acts as a decoy, leading the police on a wild goose chase.

Though, they aren't the only ne'er-do-wells that are hiding out there.

As a coven of vampiresses have taken up residence in another room...just waiting for these men to show up...so that they can feed on them.

A present their "mother" has set up for them, for the holidays.

Which only leaves them with one choice...to fight for their lives till the sun comes up...

The writing, acting (for the most part), and plot structure are actually pretty decent.

Not great.

But certainly tolerable enough to keep things entertaining.

And there's some clever exploitation of the lore.

Which keeps things fresh.

It didn't have great reviews...so I wasn't expecting much out of it.

Leaving me pleasantly surprised with how good it actually is.

4 out of 10.

Initially I found this movie's cover to be interesting enough to make me take notice of it. And truth be told, there is just something alluring about the myth of vampires. And with it being a horror movie that I hadn't heard about, combined with it being a vampire movie, of course I had to check out what writer Simon Phillips and director Taylor Martin had to offer.

Well if you sort of imagine if you think "From Dusk 'Till Dawn", but on a shoestring budget, then you have "Silent Bite", oh and add that it takes place during the Christmas holidays. Writer Simon Phillips put together a fair enough script, which made it adequate for a single viewing. You're not in for anything grand here, but the movie is watchable.

I wasn't familiar with the cast ensemble, and that was something that helped me get through "Silent Bite", as I enjoy watching unfamiliar talents on the screen. For the most parts, the acting performances were fair. But they made a mistake of casting Sayla de Goede for the role of the vampire mother, as her acting stood out like a sore thumb in contrast to the other actors and actresses, and not in a good way.

Visually then the movie was okay. It wasn't a movie that relied heavily on special effects, so don't expect a grand Hollywood spectacle of over-the-top CGI effects. I have to say that the vampire effects, with them having make-up penned bloodstreams or whatever it was supposed to be, around the eyes, just didn't really do it for me.

If you enjoy vampire movies, perhaps you will get a kick, or perhaps I should say a bite, out of watching "Silent Bite".

It is, however, not a movie that warrants more than just a single viewing, as the script just isn't solid enough for repeated viewings.

My rating of director Taylor Martin's 2024 movie "Silent Bite" lands on a four out of ten stars.

"Silent Bite" is a very low budget vampire flick with engaging characters, enjoyable story (which I found) and the plot was some what funny as the film went on. The script was made for comedy sense since I laughed in some parts and the comedy most of the cast brought just made the film so much better. And who doesn't love a cheeky cheesy vampire flick?

Theses group of "guys" hiding out at a motel in Santa costumes from pulling a bank heist, but what they did not know was they got lured there by purpose to be fed to theses crazy ASS VAMPIRE WOMEN! Like it's so dumb and cheesy but it just worked along with the funny British comedy that Simon Phillips brought and same goes for Nick Biskupek since he also had some funny ass lines!

As for the characters, well there isn't much to talk about here since this film didn't show any backstory of them besides Blake's a little bit. I did love Simon Phillips and Nick Biskupek's characters since they carried most of the film for me! The other characters were alright since they did their parts well, just to me they were kind of meh compared to those 2 that I just said!

For a dumb, cheesy and pretty low budget of a film, the cast did a great job in bringing not only enjoyable performances but engaging and funny performances as well. Theses guys should try get into more higher budget films especially Simon Phillips and Nick Biskupek! Since theses 2 have talent and I think they'll do good!

Overall "Silent Bite" is a pretty chill and enjoyable low budget vampire flick. With engaging characters, cheesy/dumb story that is enjoyable and the cast brought a solid performance! Who doesn't love a cheesy low budget vampire flick?

OK if someone had only $1000 to make a Xmas movie with vampires in it then this movie would be it!

The so called gang are suppose to be in a hideout where they are waiting on their ticket to get out of the motel bar!

The characters of the gang are dull and you dont care if they all die because they are so unlikable.

So the gang are facing vampires who cant act for toffee! I do wonder if some of the cast have actually done any drama lessons in this life?

Overall the movie is a massive turkey of boredom and your usual horror cliches you find in these kind of movies.

Is this worth watching at all?

No its awful and very forgettable in truth.

1/10 Dont bother this movie sucks!
