LITTLE BITES follows Mindy, a young widow and mother, who desperately tries to protect her daughter Alice from the grips of a fiendish, flesh eating monster named Agyar. 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.
Commented director Spider One, “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"
“We are thrilled to reteam with Spider One on this terrifying film,” said Mark Ward, Chief Acquisitions Officer of RLJE Films. “He continues to be a strong visionary talent and we can’t wait for audiences to see LITTLE BITES in theaters this Fall.”
The film is produced by Spider One and Krsy Fox’s OneFox Productions. The deal was negotiated by Dan Rozenblum at 33rd and West on behalf of the filmmakers and Mark Ward on behalf of RLJE and Shudder. "
