Bite is a 2015 Canadian Body Horror film written and directed by Chad Archibald (The Drownsman, Ejecta), starring Elma Begovic, Annette Wozniak, and Jordan Grey.Casey (Begovic) returns home from her bachelorette party in Costa Rica with a seemingly innocuous insect bite but is too preoccupied with her issues at home to take note. An over-bearing mother-in-law, and cold feet over her impending marriage to Jared (Grey) are at the top of her list of concerns but the horrifying effects of the bite are the one thing she will not be able to escape from as her instincts take a turn for the murderous and her body degenerates into an insectoid form. | |

Rape as Drama | |
| Bite / int_12dd1d4c | comment |
Rape as Drama: Casey wakes up on the beach without her clothes or her engagement ring during the trip, thinking that one of the guys she met there must have assaulted her. While it's not actually referred to as sexual assault, it pretty clear that's exactly what it is. We later learn that her best friend Jill allowed her to be raped and took her engagement ring in a ploy to seduce Jared. | |

| Bite / int_1c7555f1 | comment |
The Virus: Casey's transformation begins due to a bug bite, and she lays eggs which spawn more insects that escape. It's implied the spawned bugs will cause each human they bite to suffer the same fate as Casey. | |

| Bite / int_20a14df0 | comment |
Wrong Genre Savvy: Jared's mother confronts Casey about the latter's supposed infidelity, disregarding the large numbers of insect eggs beginning to cover the apartment, even when it's obvious she should be calling 911 instead of interrogating Casey about who the father of her 'baby' is. It gets her killed. | |

Virus-Victim Symptoms: The bug bite first makes Casey sick, pale, and unable to keep solid food down, but eventually she becomes aggressive and territorial, redecorating her apartment with sheets of resin and a layer of gelatinous eggs, and eventually attacking and killing people, focusing on those who have caused her the most problems throughout the movie. | |

The Reveal: Jill was the one who stole Casey's engagement ring in Costa Rica, letting her believe that she had a one-night stand. In fact, Casey was forced into sex while drunk against her will, and Jill recorded the act. This was all a set up for Jill to seduce Jared, who she was secretly in love with. | |

Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds: Casey. As if getting infected with a mutagenic virus and turned into a bug wasn't bad enough, her best friend betrays her and her fiancé cheats on her with said friend. It's no surprise therefore that she eventually rips the former's throat out and stings the latter several times before finally dying. | |

Pet the Dog: Despite being a horrible jerkass towards Casey, Jill still makes a genuine effort to reach out to her and help her deal with her situation once she's infected. That said, Jill's behavior could have been more of an attempt to assuage Casey for mercy since Jill had already tried to seduce Jared and had not shown any desire to help Casey before being held captive. | |
