Review of 1st Bite

1st Bite (2006)
10/10
A fun ride
26 January 2009
Saw this recently on PayTV and really enjoyed it. Didn't know what to expect but was presently surprised. The film was shot in Asia ( think is Indonesia or Thailand ), the Caribbean and Canada. The story reminds me of a lot of the folktales where I grew up on the islands. It weaves in a lot of stuff like voodoo, Zen, cooking, meaning of life, etc. The magical or fable element is refreshing. The photography is quite breathtaking. The Thai actress is very spooky. Her accent is a bit hard to understand. But thankfully, she is not saying much. The Indian guru is also quite funky. He's a bit like a witch doctor that you love but fear also. I also get a kick of the world-beat soundtrack. I am looking forward to getting the DVD when it comes out.
