so many movies ... so little time ...
On this day in 2008 (in the United Kingdom), Bitten sank its teeth into home audiences with its broadcast television premiere. Directed by Harvey Glazer from a story by Tim McGregor and Tyler Levine, the film starred Jason Mewes, Erica Cox, Jordan Madley, and others.

From Google.com:
Bitten (2008) is a Canadian black comedy-horror film directed by Harvey Glazer, starring Jason Mewes and Erica Cox. It puts a comedic spin on the classic vampire mythos by framing vampirism as a twisted, dark addiction, much like a destructive romantic relationship. [1, 2, 3]
Plot Overview
Jack (Jason Mewes), a cynical, lovelorn paramedic, is dealing with a recent breakup when he finds a severely injured, naked young woman named Danika (Erica Cox) in an alley. Refusing to take her to the hospital, Jack brings her to his apartment to nurse her back to health. As she recovers, Danika exhibits violent withdrawal symptoms and soon goes on a blood-drained feeding frenzy, revealing that she is an emerging vampire. Though Jack initially brings her stolen hospital blood bags to curb her appetite, her addiction escalates. Together, they begin luring and killing local thugs and unsavory characters, and the mounting body count quickly spirals out of control. [1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7]
Cast
Style and Tone
The film has a gritty, low-budget feel that is heavy on black comedy and eccentric dialogue rather than straight scares. It received mixed-to-negative reviews from critics, many of whom noted that its tone was jarringly uneven and leaned heavily into off-beat absurdity. Its dark humor, quirky character dynamics, and B-movie charm have given it a bit of a cult following as a late-night "garbage movie" or offbeat comedy. [2, 3, 7, 10, 11]
