Mindy has been secretly sacrificing her own life by allowing the creature to slowly feast on her body as she keeps Alice hidden away at her grandmother’s home.
Produced by One and Fox’s OneFox Productions, the film also stars Chaz Bono ( American Horror Story ), Barbara Crampton ( Jakob’s Wife ), Heather Langenkamp ( A Nightmare on Elm Street ) and Bonnie Aarons ( The Nun ). Cher, Chaz Bono, Tyler Connolly, Ian Hoge, and Wendy Berry served as its executive producers.
In a statement to Deadline, One explained, “ Little Bites began with an unflinching look at my own experience as a parent. An experience that has been and continues to be a complex mess of love, pain, success and failure. Where the best of intentions are constantly countered by the dark forces of self doubt and the external judgment of others.”
