This movie has one of my new favorite genre type. Social media fueled horror. Horror that includes a social media feature. The actors aren't top tier, but they're great for what this movie is. It's classic bad(loving) Horror. Things aren't super high tech and the scenes where the werewolf attacks are lovingly tacky. I personally think it's entertaining as heck.
I personally love the design of the werewolf. It's unquie to this movie as a whole. It's got all the classic ear marks of those so bad they're good horror movies that I personally love watching. The acting is just good enough to be silly and bad. It's a great movie overall in my opinion and I love the concept.

I enjoyed watching this. I feel very well written. It held my interest throughout. That is very important to me when watching movies. There have been many that I have gotten quickly bored with and decided not to continue watching. I think there are many people out there that will really enjoy this one. The characters are very relatable so you are quickly drawn in. I think for an Independent movie with a low funding budget was better than some big budget ones I have watched. I know everyone is different but that's my opinion on this one.
I suggest watching this movie and see what you think. Enjoy it.

I feel bad giving something less than three stars, but I couldn't justify giving it a full three. The premise had a lot of potential. While the 'killer app' concept in a horror movie has been done before, the werewolf twist added a unique touch. Unfortunately, the acting was a major letdown-it felt pretty cringeworthy at times. That said, I'm a sucker for fun teen horror, so I did find some enjoyment in it.
I also want to mention that I don't mind the amateur makeup and special effects. As a huge Buffy the Vampire Slayer fan, I'm used to a bit of silliness in costumes. That said, it is 2024, so I can't help but wonder about the budget.

I watched this last night i like the idea and the concept of this movie but the dialogue and acting was terrible .The only good bits were the actual Werewolfs and the Werewolf kills they looked pretty good but the main characters none of them were likable in my books plus they were all pretty annoying and unbelieveble. But i did like the overall idea and story to me that was pretty original .I think if they had overhauled or reviewed and improved the script plus get better actors or people that could actually act this would have been a really good movie. Coming from the Uncorked film studios i kind of expected a bit more.
As a fellow werewolf enthusiast, I was intrigued by the premise of Byte (2024), which offers a modern twist on lycanthropy through a mysterious app. The concept is innovative, blending technology with classic horror elements, and it sets the stage for a potentially engaging narrative.
However, the film's execution leaves much to be desired. The pacing is uneven, with significant lulls that detract from the overall tension. Character development is minimal, making it challenging to connect with the protagonists on a deeper level. The dialogue often feels stilted, and some plot points lack coherence, leading to a disjointed viewing experience.
On a positive note, the practical effects, particularly the werewolf design, are commendable for an independent production. The creature's appearance pays homage to classic werewolf portrayals, which may resonate with genre fans. However, the film could have benefited from more dynamic transformation sequences to heighten the horror elements.
In summary, while Byte introduces an intriguing premise, it falls short in execution. For die-hard werewolf aficionados, it might be worth a watch for its unique concept and practical effects, but tempering expectations is advisable.
