Little Bites, the upcoming horror from writer/director Spider One (Bury the Bride, Allegoria), has been picked up by RLJE Films and Shudder for an October 4 theatrical release.
Executive produced by Cher (yes, that Cher), Little Bites stars a whole host of horror icons including FANGORIA fave Barbara Crampton (Re-Animator, Jakob’s Wife), final girl Heather Langenkamp (A Nightmare on Elm Street), Bonnie Aarons (The Nun, also Jakob's Wife) and American Horror Story‘s Chaz Bono (who will also executive produce.)
Krsy Fox (Allegoria), Elizabeth Phoenix Caro and Jon Sklaroff also star.
Produced by One and Fox’s OneFox Productions, Little Bites follows:
Mindy (Fox), a young widow and mother, who desperately tries to protect her daughter Alice (Caro) from the grips of a fiendish, flesh-eating monster named Agyar (Sklaroff). Mindy has been secretly sacrificing her own life by allowing the creature to slowly feast on her body as she keeps Alice hidden away at her grandmother’s home.
Alongside Cher and Bono, executive producers include Tyler Connolly, Ian Hoge, and Wendy Berry.
Speaking with Deadline, One (who is the younger brother of House of 1000 Corpses horror legend Rob Zombie) shared more about his personal inspiration for making Little Bites:
Little Bites began with an unflinching look at my own experience as a parent. An experience that has been and continues to be a complex mess of love, pain, success and failure. Where the best of intentions are constantly countered by the dark forces of self doubt and the external judgment of others. In the film, Mindy’s relationship with her monster, Agyar, is clearly my allegory for parenthood. His bites are her pain. His words are her insecurities. His intentions are to prove Mindy’s failure as a parent.
Krsy Fox and Jon Sklaroff delivered beyond my wildest expectations with their portrayals of Mindy and Agyar and I can’t wait to once again team up with Shudder/RLJE and let horror fans to sink their teeth into Little Bites.
