Bit
A transgender teenage girl on summer vacation in LA fights to survive after she falls in with four queer feminist vampires, who try to rid the city's streets of predatory men.
Why it matters
Bit (2019) serves a fresh slice of queer vampire horror that blends feminist rage with pulsating indie energy.
- Queer feminist vampires stake a claim in the genre’s ongoing reckoning with toxic masculinity and predation.
- Practical blood effects and moody LA nightscapes ground the supernatural in a gritty, lived-in world.
- A trans teenage protagonist’s perspective offers rare representation that enriches the vampire mythos rather than tokenizing it.
- The film balances dark humor and horror, making it a smart pick for viewers craving social commentary wrapped in genre thrills.
