Critical response

On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes , 73% of 11 critics' reviews are positive, with an average rating of 6.2/10. [6]

Writing for Punch Drunk Critics, Travis Hopson noted: "As far as horror movies about motherhood, Little Bites is a worthwhile entry that plays more to fans of gore than the psychological." [7] 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] At Collider , Jeff Ewing rated it 6 out of 10 stars, saying "there's a lot of promise here, but it doesn't all pay off, resulting in a decent film that stops short of being a great exercise in supernatural terror." [8]

Leo Brady from A Movie Guy gave the film 3 out of 4 stars and stated, "What makes Little Bites more intriguing is its exploration of generational trauma, sacrifice, and the everyday struggles of women. While it may initially seem simplistic, this dark and engaging film leaves viewers with plenty to ponder." [9] 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." [10] His Name is Death ranked it as one of the best 2024 horror films. [11]
