Ella M "Vampires in Australia" is a fascinating documentary that really drew me in with its exploration of why vampires continue to captivate us, particularly through the experiences of women in the Australian entertainment industry. Watching it felt like a nostalgic trip through vampire culture, as each interviewee shared their personal connection to the genre, from childhood memories to professional influences. I found myself relating to the way they spoke about their first brushes with vampire stories—whether it was through cartoons like Scooby-Doo or iconic movies like "Buffy the Vampire Slayer.” It was fun listening to how vampires affected aspects of their lives and choices of professions in the making of this film. It was quite interesting to hear how some of the women attributed attraction to the shows and movies as being due to the mystery of darkness of the vampires and vices versa, some of the women discoursed on the social aspect of how these characters have been justified overtime. It made me ponder why I read vampire stories in the first place—it is much more about the themes of immortality and power and the somewhat oxymoronic duality of the attraction-repulsion fascination of vampires. The documentary also shines a light on Australian contributions to the vampire genre, like the filming of "Queen of the Damned" in local neighborhoods, which was a cool connection to the global phenomenon of vampires. I was particularly struck by the interviews that explored deeper ideas, such as the notion of vampires as antiheroes and how they resonate with our desires to escape reality or live forever. Overall, "Vampires in Australia" is more than just a documentary about the vampire genre—it’s a thoughtful look at why these creatures continue to enchant and seduce us. As someone who’s always been intrigued by vampires, I found it both insightful and relatable, and I think anyone with an interest in pop culture or mythology will get something out of it.
