Michael C One of my top 10 horror movies of all time!!! Iconic!!! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/17/25 Full Review Michel S An incredible take on a Vampire film as political statement with disco shenanigans Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/13/23 Full Review PridePosterStudios ❌ Lesbian Vampire Killers ✅ Killer Lesbian Vampires Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 04/26/24 Full Review Audience Member Prior to becoming an actor, Nicole Maines was the anonymous plaintiff in the Maine Supreme Judicial Court case Doe v. Regional School Unit 26. She argued her school district could not deny her access to the female bathroom for being transgender, with the court deciding that barring transgender students from school bathrooms consistent with their gender identity is unlawful. It was a landmark decision, in fact, the first by a state court. She and her twin brother Jonas have also been the subject of several articles in regards to how one identical twin can be transgender and one can be cisgender. She also played Nia Nal, a distant relative of Legion of Superheroes member Dream Girl on Supergirl and Legends of Tomorrow. In Bit, she plays Laurel, an eighteen-year-old with a troubled past who has moved past it and is off to the big city to live with her brother Mark (James Paxton, son of Bill). On her very first night out, she meets music video director Izzy (Zolee Griggs) and a pack of bloodsuckers made up of Frog (Char Diaz) and Roya (Friday Chamberlain), led by Duke (Diana Hopper). While this movie has queer and trans characters, it never shoves them in your face. Instead, it presents them as they are, you accept them and you simply enjoy the unique and fun spin that this puts on vampires, in particular the fact that all male vampires are destined to be cruel. If Vlad, the man who turned Duke is any indication, you can see why the female vampires at the beating heart of this movie work so hard to destroy predatory men. Director and writer Brad Michael Elmore — who also worked with Paxton, MC Gainey and Greg Hill when making Boogeyman Pop and also directed The Wolfman's Hammer — was able to surprise me by the choices that his characters make throughout the film. The entire section of the film with Duke's origin is so well-staged and shot by Cristina Dunlap that it takes a moment that could have just been spoken by the actress and gives it bloody and brilliant life. And I absolutely loved the music of Wolfmen Of Mars! So how about that sequel that got teased? Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member Girl Gang with a soundtrack of girl groups. Not your run-of-the-mill troped up vampire romance movie. This LGBT+ friendly film has all the sass of the millenial, zellenial, and Gen Z crowd with call back tropes to the older generations. Don't be fooled by one of the antagonists of the films dialogue. If you miss the feminist point of this movie (that men aren't monsters and don't have the excuse to be a**holes just because of their gender) then you didn't really watch the whole movie. Great special effects, costumes, music, makeup/hair, and acting. Very well developed dialogue and female characters. Will say that the brother could have used some better dialogue and rounding out. There is one scene you'll see where his thoughts come out of left field and make for a whole "did NOT see that coming" moment. Really hope they make another of these movies. Absolutely 5 stars. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Audience Member Transgender actor Nicole Maines stars as Laurel She's off to college after high school graduation But she runs into a group of city girls that have a thirst for human blood and night partying Reason for being is that they're actually all vampires! Laurel learns about who they are and is only given a few rules No glamouring other vampires and only kill what you can eat But the third and most absolute : absolutely no male vampires Maybe because of the fact that they can't handle power and love gets in the way These girls target their prey indiscriminately; the underprivileged, the corrupt, and the sexist/misogynistic Director Brad-Michael Elmore makes a contemporary creature of the night flick with 'bite' full of satire, laughs, and sexiness Lots of gore to spare Plenty of hidden feminist themes, empowerment, assertiveness against the male patriarchy Making the unlikable choices sometimes isn't a bad thing Its refreshing to have a lead like Nicole Maines make the genre feel fresh and much more inclusive This is a big mark for representation too 'Bit' adds a bit more for the vampire movie-lovers and that isn't so bad Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Read all reviews
