Bit

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.

I went into this movie, hoping to genuinely enjoy it, as I had been excited to watch it. Unfortunately, I didn't. The concept is nice, but it wasn't properly fleshed out. Near the end, it all got rushed. What also bothered me was the music. It was too loud in several scenes throughout the movie, drowning out the dialogue. And it was a bit flaky how they sometimes abruptly stopped it rather than fading it out. I'm disappointed because it could have been a great film. If Nicole wasn't in it I probably would have rated it lower.

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.

I had no idea about the movie's context until I started watching it. I have nothing against feminism or LGBT plots. I can also clearly see when its usage is good or bad. For example, "Assassination Nation" is awesome, and the latest "Black Christmas" is blasphemous. So when I finished this flick and stuck into the reviews I felt puzzled. The acting is decent, the cinematography is eye-candy, the music perfectly fits (the "Rasputin" part is best), and even some radical points doesn't make me feel guilty of being a man.

"Bit" bites at timely feminist themes and never misses the spot thanks to the lightful and frisky way of storytelling. Its visuals are even better than the "men shouldn't possess power like this, they'll screw it up" message. In the end, "Bit" doesn't take itself too serious and that's how it eventually wins. Definetely worth a watch.

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.
