Critical response
On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, 81% of 16 critics' reviews are positive.
Catherine Bray of The Guardian rated it 3/5 stars writing that "what could have been a real contender with a few relatively minor tweaks is still a serviceable morsel for those with the right kind of appetite."
On RogerEbert.com, Brian Tallerico rated it 1.5 out of 4 stars calling it "frustrating".
In his review for The Mercury News, Randy Meyers rated it 1.5 out of 4 stars writing that "there is an attempt to comment on the sacrifices that moms make, but it gets squelched by its own unevenness." On Film Threat, Michael Talbot-Haynes scored the film a 10/10 writing in his review consensus section: "the most potent hybrid of drama and horror since George A. Romero's Martin".
On Bloody Disgusting, Trace Thurman rated it 2.5/5 "skulls" writing that "Little Bites shows signs of promise from the burgeoning filmmaker, but an obvious script and sluggish pacing keep it from becoming something truly special."
