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]
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]
Production
Filming took place in various locations around and near Bay County, Florida.
Release
They Bite was released on VHS and has not been released on DVD or Blu-ray.[7]
