They Bite is a 1996 American science-fiction horror film directed by Brett Piper and starring Ron Jeremy, Nick Baldasare, Donna Frotscher, and Christina Veronica. [2] [3]

Contents

The film follows some of the premise covered in the Roger Corman film Humanoids from the Deep – sea creatures coming to shore and attacking and mating with humans, but also contains the idea of a film-within-a-film device. [4] [5] A film crew (Nick Baldasare plays the director Mel Duncan) are on location making a film Invasion of the Fishfuckers – which happens to be a story about sea creatures coming ashore and attacking and mating with humans. Ron Jeremy is part of this film crew. [6] Whilst they are making the film, coincidentally the very thing they're filming seems to be happening around them. [1] Thus, there is a blurring between reality and fiction.[ citation needed ]

Production

Filming took place in various locations around and near Bay County, Florida.[ citation needed ]

Release

They Bite was released on VHS and has not been released on DVD or Blu-ray. [7]
