THE BITE is a US horror film, from 1989, in which a man is bitten by a radioactive snake transforming him into a violent monster.
violence
There are sequences of bloody violence in which characters are bitten and attacked by a man who has been possessed by a mutant snake. A man is bitten on the neck by a mutant dog resulting in a large, rapid blood spurt, and mutant snakes are shot and repeatedly bloodily hit with improvised weapons. Whilst possessed, a man slaps his girlfriend around the face sending her flying across the room.
threat and horror
There are scenes of strong fantastical threat and horror throughout from mutant snakes. In one scene, a man vomits numerous snakes of all shapes and sizes before transforming into a snake himself.
language
Use of strong language ('motherf**ker', 'f**k') is accompanied by moderate and milder terms such as 'slut', 'ass', 'shit', 'bastard', 'damn' and 'hell'.
injury detail
A man has his heart pulled out through his mouth and there is clear close up sight of the beating organ. A mutant snake arm jumps into a woman's throat breaking her jaw in a gory fashion. A man's snake bitten hand is seen becoming increasingly bloody and gory as the film progresses; in one scene he chops it off with an axe and the remaining bloody stump is briefly seen. A man's skull separates as a snake breaks out of it.
additional issues
There are scenes of moderate sex and verbal sex references. Men leer and ogle a woman when she walks into a bar and another man makes sexist remarks.
