Bit

I liked the idea and the bite club thing with the rules and there were some nice and fun scenes , I would like to see another one with more of the last conversation fleshed out like how they plan to vamp out the world with their super vamp chick power thing that would be interesting it was a nice idea and it was cool! Good job.

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.

..., 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.

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.

This is a beautifully shot film from beginning to end, the colors popped off the screen and everything was just dark enough to set the mood. Following a young woman named Laurel from Oregon so she can give things a shake in LA for a summer, we see her go to a concert where she meets up with a group of mysterious women who turn out to be vampires. Shenanigans of course ensue as Laurel gets turned and has to learn the ropes of what it means to be a vampire.

Queer themes are everywhere in this movie, but never more than what's necessary to establish that the women are indeed lesbians (or queer). The fact that Laurel is transgender was honestly lost on me until I checked out the reviews for it. So clearly they didn't go overboard in the film, it just wasn't that central to the story.

Speaking of the story, this is the one area I struggled with... It's a simple story, which is fine, but I honestly wanted more back story for the supporting cast. We know Laurel and the lead vampire Duke, who has a highly entertaining bit of exposition to cover her back story (to the tune of 'Rasputin' no less). However there are three other women there that have a good screen presence but never actually get much more than a line or two of background information.

The acting isn't bad either, they were going for a sort of ethereal performance I suppose and it worked in a campy sort of way.

All in all, the movie is fun as long as you aren't a fragile dude bro.
