Once Bitten (1985) starring Jim Carrey

[Call Me Darkman]

Has anyone seen this movie? It's one of Jim Carrey's early films. He plays a high school virgin who is seduced by a vampire in need of his blood to stay looking young. The movie is very silly, but it's funny.

I've seen it quite a few times, surprised it hasn't been remade.

 

[Call Me Darkman]

surprised it hasn't been remade.

This is actually the type of movie that should be remade. Why waste money remaking classic films when you can redo those that had potential to be great, but didn't for whatever reason.

 

[Angel_Faerie]

Love this movie. It's silly, but Jim Carrey is great in it, and it's fun seeing him so young.

 

[Donnie Darko]

Yeah, I have seen it. It used to come on HBO a lot years ago, this and Just One of the Guys. Most people still have never seen/heard of it, but I think it's worth checking out. It's one of those that my brothers and I would pretty much always leave on when we saw that it was on (much like I do with The Replacements now).

I still need to see this and Vampire's Kiss with Nicolas Cage.

That movie was awful,and a waste of time.Probably one of the worst vampire films I've ever seen.I think it would be a good film to remake though.

Just One of the Guys is hilarious! i love that movie. the nerds, the chick's brother, and the *****e Johnny from Karate Kid it's a classic 80s flick

in a way, the film was remade a couple of years ago. that one movie with Amanda Bynes in which she dresses up as a dude to play on the mens soccer team.

 

[Donnie Darko]

Very true... right down to the reveal at the end where she flashes to prove that she is a she, not a he. Of course, She's The Man was a pg or pg13 Amanda Bynes movie, not a good old fashioned 80s comedy, so they didn't actually show it.

Oh man! I remember this movie. This and Transylvania 6-5000 were some of my favorite "stupid Halloween" movies to watch as a kid.

 

[Secret Fawful]

Haha, I love Transylvania 6-5000 as a guilty pleasure. I ought to check this one out.

 

[El Payaso]

I have seen it some times and had great fun. You could tell that Carrey was giving more than he was demanded, he made, as usual, some effort here. I liked that DeNiro's impersonation and the dance scene.

But in no case this movie has the potential for anything, it was just too poor. Other than having a young Jim Carrey, it has nothing else to offer.

 

[Ultra Lantern]

I saw this movie on DVD and really enjoyed it.I hope they make a remake of this movie one day.

 

[Fanticon]

i saw this when i was a kid, like a year or two after ace ventura became a huge hit. the video store had it up for rent and repackaged to make you think it was new because carrey was blowing up all of the sudden. i liked it.

 

[amazingfantasy15]

I got this movie when I was really big into Jim Carrey, very poor decision on my part, this movie was awful.

 

[DarkSovereignty]

man, i loved this movie growing up lol. might have to check it out again before october's over.

 

[Ultra Lantern]

If they did a remake,who would be it?

 

[Call Me Darkman]

This and Transylvania 6-5000 were some of my favorite "stupid Halloween" movies to watch as a kid.

I saw that movie like two years ago. Geena Davis was awesome.

I liked that DeNiro's impersonation and the dance scene.

The dance-off was, by far, the best scene.

 

[Maximus One]

LOVED this movie when I was a kid! I was such a huge Carrey fan, ever see the show he was on Duck Factory?

 

[Call Me Darkman]

I've seen parts of Duck Factory. It was a short-lived TV series on NBC, but when Carrey rose to fame in the mid-`90s, a few episodes were released on VHS.
