Most Startling Films Ever Made

After being bitten by some kind of strange insect in Costa Rica, a young woman starts to transform into an insect-like creature who needs human flesh to feed her eggs. Bite is swimming with body horror, so much so that the first viewers of the flick were given themed vomit bags when entering the theater.
