Reception
[edit]On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, 70% of 10 critics' reviews are positive, with an average rating of 6,2/10.[3]
In his review for RogerEbert.com, Brian Tallerico rated it 1,5 out of 4 stars saying that "horror needs to be a little gray, a little hard to decipher, and a little debatable as to its meaning and purpose. When it’s not, and it shifts from mood to message, it loses its power. That’s one of several things that happens with Spider One’s frustrating Little Bites."[1] Writing for Punch Drunk Critics, Travis Hopson rated it 3 out of 5 stars saying that "as far as horror movies about motherhood, Little Bites is a worthwhile entry that plays more to fans of gore than the psychological."[4]
In his review for The Mercury News, Randy Meyers rated it 1,5 out of 4 stars saying that "there is an attempt to comment on the sacrifices that moms make, but it gets squelched by its own unevenness."[5]
