“Being a vampire in the twentieth century is a nightmare!”
Before he made it big on In Living Color and ultimately became a movie star, Jim Carrey starred in 1985’s Once Bitten alongside Lauren Hutton, Cleavon Little, and Karen Kopins. In the film, Carrey portrays Mark Kendall, a teen virgin desperately seeking his “first time” with a woman. Lauren Hutton’s Countess is on the hunt as well, but she’s looking for the blood of a virgin to keep her looking youthful.
Once Bitten is a teen horror comedy that, while enjoyable enough, lacks the bite of many of its contemporaries. It’s a safe teen comedy with a decent cast, and it’s worth a look if you want a glimpse into Jim Carrey’s early career. I’m old enough to remember renting this film on VHS, as it was much more enjoyable for me as a kid.
Be sure to check out Once Bitten. It’s currently available on a number of free streaming services.
