Bit

..., You'll get to see Ms Maines performing well, in costumes the Supergirl wardrobe dept can't use for the hero side.

If you came looking for strong plot, deep meaning, or proper horror, this ain't it. It's not dark enough to be scary, or bloody enough to fit in the indie horror league.

On a techniques level, the film is shot, lit, ADR'd, edited and directed at a competent level, there's no jarring lapses in quality of production. It may even be a little too well made to fit the indie scene.

The plot is pretty standard fare, and the script doesn't really push the actors, it's a little too tame in the places where it could, and should have, pushed in to new ground. It errs to the side of caution, even trying to be politically correct, where it could have flipped the tropes and surprised viewers.

It's an easy watch, but not one you'll watch over and over, unless you're a Dreamer fan.

Bit (2019) is a movie that I recently watched on Tubi. The storyline follows a young lady who leaves home and moves in with her brother in Los Angeles. As she adjusts to the big city she encounters four lesbian vampires who turn her and flips her life upside down.

This movie is written and directed by Brad Michael Elmore (Wolfman Pop) and stars Diana Hopper (Goliath), Nicole Maines (Supergirl), Zolee Griggs (Bride Wars), Friday Chamberlain (The Fate of the Furious) and Char Diaz (Mayans).

The cast for this is pretty well selected outside of maybe the villain. The settings and backdrops fit the storyline well. There were some entertaining kill scenes too that reminded me of Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. The flashback scenes were pretty good also and funny. The storyline was straightforward and the ending was cliche and as you'd expect.

Overall this is a below average addition to the horror genre that I wouldn't go out of my way to see. I would score this a 3.5/10 and recommend skipping.

Don't let the thinly veiled homophobia, transphobia and misogyny fool you on other reviews...This movie isn't fantastic, doesn't have high production value, but it has an engaging storyline, with an evident sense of humor. People often mistake a point of you, as an agenda... Which is not the case here. It's just a horror/fantasy film from an LGBTQ+ perspective. I enjoyed it, and will probably watch it again.

The comedy aspect is how campy it is. Honestly it is right up there with some of the best vampire movies. It will be a cult classic for sure.

This is definitely one of the better movies out there when it comes to story, food for thought and moral lessons (even though most people seem to miss what the point they were trying to make is). Could have done without a lot of the dialogue and should have been polished a bit more before the script was finalized, but overall I loved the style and the strong points it did have were amazing.

For those who think this is a feminist's power fantasy, it's not, it does introduce the narrative of men not being able to handle power and the "women's club" that punishes the ones who abuse it, but it does challenge all of that. The writer/director has a lot of talent and is actually a he, if you hadn't checked that yet.

While I did enjoy it quite a bit, it could have been so much better. It had such powerful blasts of creativity and originality, but fell so flat during a lot of the dialogue scenes, especially as the protagonist was being introduced. It was surprisingly in touch with reality, you never feel like there's a holier-than-thou protagonist and bad, bad antagonist, the movie manages to both portray how not black-and-white things are and still have you know who you're supposed to root for.

tl:dr I'm sad it isn't as amazing as it could have been, but you won't be wasting your time watching it.
