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.

A fun mixture of camp, schlocky horror and dark, gritty feminism. The change of tone is a little jarring at times, and the finale is a bit of a mess, but the characters are well written and well portrayed. The Rasputin musical sequence is a particular highlight.

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.
