So Vam
Directed by Alice Maio Mackay
Kurt is an outcast in a conservative town who dreams of moving to the city to be a famous drag queen. Kidnapped by a predatory old vampire, Kurt is rescued and resurrected by a gang of rebellious vamps who feed on bigots and abusers. As a vampire he finally knows empowerment and belonging, but until Kurt faces the monster, he will never truly be free. The exciting debut from Australian trans teen filmmaker Alice Maio Mackay, So Vam is a low budget, high energy tribute to teen vampire classics, from a distinctly Gen Z, genderqueer POV. A SHUDDER EXCLUSIVE

what a win for australian cinema, i love when people in our country make cooll and interesting movies
I honestly expected to turn this off after 15-20 minutes but ended up watching the whole thing. It’s super low budget, but the storyline and characters were endearing. It’s worth a watch…you’ll either love it or hate it.
Obviously a little rough but like, it’s a 16 year old making a movie with her friends. Really special film and very clearly from the heart of a fellow queer zoomer. #AliceMaioMackay4ever
Honestly a decent film. The acting is a bit touch and go, and the plot is a bit shallow, but overall an enjoyable hour. The characters are fun and the cinematography does a great job with the limitations of what is clearly a very limited budget.
I’m surprised I got through that tbh. The 5 skulls from other viewers are extremely forced. Barely any gore, no scares, nothing frightening, I’d hardly call this a horror tbh. 2 skulls.. 1 for effort and the other because half he cast weren’t actually that bad.
