Valice (Rachel Brownstein), Katarina (Martha Niklas) and Zuzanna (Maria
Lee Metheringham) are the latest singing sensation to hit the clubs, and
are a hit with fans not only because of their music but also their looks -
so when they promise six fans chosen by chance a party at Valice's house,
everyone's excited of course. And at least half of the winners - Tash
(Marcella Edgecobe-Craig), Axel (Ryan-Jay Jones), Ronnie (Kian Pollard),
Ridley (Roland Martial), Biffa (Peter M. George), and
much-too-straight-for-rock Ebeneizer (George Walker) - expect to have an
orgy with the girls ... but once they arrive at Valice's place, they are
just shown to their rooms by hostess Sandra (Dani Thompson) and advised to
wait for an hour - which makes them come up with stupid ideas ... until
Ebeneizer just disappears into thin air. Then dinner's served: A human
head! Of course our heroes turn away in disgust, all but Ebeneizer who has
inexplicably reappeared but seems odd now. Now eventually it's revealed
that Valice, Katarina and Zuzanna are vampires who have invited the others
over to feed on them - though not suck them dry, because that would be
murder ... but that said, Katarina doesn't always know when to stop, so
eventually, there's a fatality. But as the evening develops, this turns
out to be the least of the problems for both our heroes and the vampire
girls ...
Now Bite Night sure isn't a film set out to re-invent
vampire cinema - but that said, it's really good at what it had set out to
do, and that's just telling a thoroughly entertaining genre story that
seems to always have a twinkle in the eye without ever going the moronic
route, instead it just has fun with its story, a fun that seems to be
shared with its cast, who give on-the-point and relatable performances
without taking themselves to seriously, and that's infectuous to the
audience as well. It's a fun ride, that's for sure, and totally deserves a
watch!
