Packed with one-liners, caricaturish characters and a pleasantly upbeat charm, CHASTITY BITES is all the fun without having to take your clothes off!

Review: Horror Talk
A horror comedy that feels a little more like a teen drama series in places, Chastity Bites is well acted, has solid direction and moments that are genuinely entertaining.

If a vampire-slasher, with a touch of Heathers (1988) in the mix sounds like your thing, then Chastity Bites is recommended viewing.

This is near-perfect blend of comedy and horror and Chastity Bites doesn’t skimp on either – there are laughs a plenty and there’s a some nice gore and grue too.

‘Chastity Bites’ is one of those movies which is just made right. There is no singular reason why the formula works, it just does. It’s a funny, gory and unique slasher experience which already has a decent following and it’s not hard to see why.

“…Chasity Bites is not just a hilarious, surprisingly effective horror comedy that effectively twists modern culturally trends into an 80s style horror film. Chasity Bites is one of the best horror comedies in recent memory for those with the right pallet, deserving of a place beside The Cabin In The Woods and Tucker & Dale Vs. Evil.” (full article at Geek New Wave)

“High school hasn’t been this entertaining since Buffy started killing vampires. Take one part Clueless, and throw in the dedicated female lead that populate stories like Buffy, and you have a taste of Chastity Bites. There’s winks and nods to many of the films that 80s kids grew up on, and you can feel the influence there, but this film manages to be its own beast, and it’s an hilarious one.” (full article at The Film Reel)
