The Last Bite

The Last Bite

**1/2

Reviewed by: Angus Wolfe Murray

There is a cabin in the woods. Evil Dead, anyone?

Into this cabin comes a man. Sacrificial?

There is a chair in the cabin and a talking mosquito. Already, thoughts of The Fly enter a hole in your mind.

Rob Hardcastle's film sets up something interesting, even chilling, but fails to follow through. He doesn't seem to know where to go, once the man has grown accustomed to conversing with an insect.

He escapes, after giving the mosquito a four-courser off his arm, only to run into hikers in the forest, wearing animal heads. Compared to these guys, the little mosquito is something of a friend. Except bloodsuckers kill you in the end, don't they?

The film is well made, although Kimmo Knopempotti's performance remains stuck on one note. Hardcastle appears to have done everything, including write and play the music, which is excellent.

Next time, he must think about a second act.
