    • Trivia
      Only linked to the original film by its title and production company. It features no returning locations, characters, actors, or crew members.
    • Goofs
      When Clark exits the hospital - after the doctor has cut off the gauze on his hand - he has a professionally bandaged hand again. No one put that on for him.
    • Crazy credits
      In the last entry of the cast list, the name of the actor and character are switched. Edward Gobel is listed as the name of the character and "tanker trucker" is listed as the actor's name.
    • Alternate versions
      The "R" rated version which initially aired on cable cuts some of the gruesome special effects.
    • Connections
      Featured in 31 Days of Horror: Curse II: The Bite (1989) (2018)

    Worth watching for one erotic scene
    The movie is lousy, I won't pretend it isn't. But it will always rank in my Top 10 list of Most Erotic Movies Of All Time, because of one scene near the end of the film. Of course eroticism is subjective, but in my own humble opinion this film contains some of the most erotic footage ever committed to film. Fans of Showgirls (which I found about as erotic as corned beef) will probably not agree, but fans of Dario Argento's brand of erotic horror, or of JoBeth Williams towards the end of Poltergeist, should really check out The Bite (as it is known in England). Skip through the first hour or so if you wish - go on, I won't tell anyone - but that one scene will amply reward you.
