VHS : Once BittenIn association with Amazon.comRating:  - Funny forever!I first saw this movie when I was about 10 years old, all the way back in 1995, and I've been watching this movie every October, or whenever it comes on, ever since. I love it! It's funny, good campy, sexy, and Jim Carrey was, have to say it, very handsome! It's totally worth buying! Rating:  - Low Budget Laugh Riot! Vampires Beware.....This movie about a shy L.A. highschool student who ran afoul of a centuries old vampire is a laugh riot (even if it's for all the wrong reasons!). Quick Synopsis: Jim Carrey stars as a typical L.A. teenager who is growing a little restless to lose his virginity to his high school sweetheart. What he doesn't know is that a local vampire (Lauren Hutton) is struggling to find the innocent blood of a virgin, and has set her sights on him! In order to maintain her youthful appearance, she must drink the blood of a virgin (the same virgin) 3 times before midnight on Halloween. If she succeeds, her victim becomes a vampire in her service forever! "Once Bitten" is a comedy that saw the budding young career of Jim Carrey, an actor who would eventually rise to the upper tier of Hollywood, but who was at the time just an innocent young actor in a C rate movie in the 1980's. I think part of what makes this movie so appealing was the fact that looking back on it, one could laugh their butts off at the bad writing, terrible acting, and downright hilarious 80's vibe the entire movie has. Want to see bright florescent neon lights? How about some pretty bad fashion choices? This movie will give you one heck of a blast from the past! I would describe this film as one of those deliciously guilty pleasures that you watch and enjoy even though you know it's a terrible movie by all standards. I find it incredibly fascinating to watch Jim Carrey in one of his first films, and be able to see that he truly had some raw talent back then...(very raw talent. It took another decade or so for him to hone his skills and improve). However, even in the mid-1980's he had that incredibly expressive face, and a natural talent for humorous body language. He's just a lot of fun to watch! I'm not going to lie...this movie is so bad that it's good! Rating:  - Twice ShySome reviewers who've given this many stars have mentioned the beautiful Lauren Hutton. She's beautiful. But, you don't see much of her, this is after-all only a PG-13 release. There's no real sex in this. This film is, after-all one of a few vampire teen-comedies of the era ("I was a Teenage Vampire", "Teen Vamp", "Vamp", "Fright Night" etc - of which the last two are infinitely more enjoyable). The sexy Lauren Hutton needs to feed off a virgin. She doesn't seem very adept at doing so! Rating: - Once bitten not twice shyTwo sexy woman fighting over one dork... All my dreams come true if i were Mark that is. This movie somwhat touch base on how "virgins" feel now days... And well basicly it throws in a whole heap of comedy. Rating:  - Classic 80's FlickWatch this flick for one reason... To see Jim Carrey dance! It's classic! |
