| Bit: feminist vampires of L.A. |
Laurel is a disenchanted 18-year-old from central Oregon on a summer trip to Los Angeles, sleeping on her brother’s sofa, when by chance she meets up with a foursome of lesbian radical feminist vampires determined to use their supernatural powers to empower women and disempower (which is to say disembowel) some of the more creepy men around them. It’s a vampire movie, so of course there is death and violence and plenty of spurting blood, but it’s also a comedy with a lot to say about gender and societal power dynamics, although less to say than I expected about the fact that Laurel is a disenchanted 18-year-old transgender woman. It’s well done, so, if you’re not put off by the blood and gore, it’s highly recommended. • IMDb •
