History Film / Bit

* FromASingleCell: Vlad it turns out is only his heart locked in a box that Duke slowly eats (it refused to burn, which will usually kill vampires). He's later able to regenerate from this back into his full body after someone frees him.

* {{Gaydar}}: The vampires seem capable of telling instantly that Laurel is transgender, though it's not visually obvious at all, nor does she tell them.

* HellBentForLeather: Duke is never seen without wearing her leather jacket in the present.

Creator/NicoleMaines, better known from her role as Nia Nal on ''Series/Supergirl2015'', stars as Laurel. She won the top acting prize in the Outfest Lon Angeles LGBTQ Film Festival for her star performance.

* ButchLesbian: Roya wears very masculine clothing, has short hair, and has a terse, blunt personality. She's a lesbian like the rest of her group.

* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: Duke's ideology bears a strong resemblance to some of the more extreme feminist views that largely flourished in TheSeventies (e.g. [[LadyLand living entirely separate from men]], or [[PersecutionFlip making them into the oppressed group]]). The director has said he drew on two of these, lesbian separatism and the SCUM Manifesto, as inspiration. Laurel on the other hand, seems to represent more moderate, third wave views that reject this (as she's transgender, something these movements accepted more than second wavers, that can be symbolic as well, but Duke herself is completely accepting of her). That said, the film isn't wholly unsympathetic with [[WellIntentionedExtremist why some women might go that far]] as a result of mistreatment, and Duke is consequently revealed as being a rape survivor who had been a SexSlave for many years.

* LipstickLesbian: Laurel is a very feminine [[UsefulNotes/{{Transgender}} trans]] lesbian, always wearing her hair long while in skirts and blouses often. While Duke, Izzy and Frog's attire/manner isn't entirely traditional (with short hair in the latter two cases, plus slightly more tomboyish attire), they don't qualify as butch either. They're probably best described as "chapstick", in between these styles.

* YourVampiresSuck: Laurel refers disparagingly to those teen vampire flicks which seem like the fantasy of an eight year old as the introduces the film via voiceover. Then at the end she hopes for sequels, though reassuring viewers she can't get pregnant for the fourth one (being a trans woman), obviously both referring to the ''Film/{{Twilight}}'' films.

Laurel, a young trans woman, leaves home at eighteen and moves to UsefulNotes/LosAngeles with her brother. There, she meets a female quartet (Duke, Roya, Frog and Izzy) in a nightclub who quickly draw her into their circle (she also gets involved with Izzy). Like her, they are queer women, but also vampires. Due to being fed on by her lover, Laurel turns into a vampire and joins the group. However, while she's happy with being one at first, their lives are not entirely idyllic. They are being hunted by vampire hunters, Duke has some rather disturbing plans, and there's a menacing force from Duke's past that threatens all of them.

* CastFullOfGay: All of the main characters in the film are lesbians (and [[LesbianVampire vampires]]).

* GayBestFriend: Laurel's best friend in her home town was Andy, a {{straight gay}} boy. He is likely part of why Laurel rejects Duke's misandrist philosophy. The stereotype is subverted though as Laurel is herself lesbian and transgender (so she could also be ''his'' queer best friend at the same time). While we don't get the details, the two might well have been the only out LGBT kids in school and bonded because of it.

* HateSink: Vlad Manfred Castaneta, Duke's sire, who spent his unlike mind-controlling women into joining his harem, which is outright acknowledged as rape and is as traumatic as any other rape. When he returns, his every line is dripping with misogynistic contempt and he tries to claim making a lesbian his SexSlave was "making [her] feel love."

* HorrorHunger: Laurel starts to suffer this and becoming a vampire, when she's unwilling to feed on humans (especially not kill them after, as Duke demands). While she tries to simply not feed, it's too much for her.

* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: After Andy's suicide attempt, Mark calls Laurel out for ignoring her and her family in favor of hanging out with Duke and her gang. He then goes on to blast her as selfish while revealing he'd also moved to L.A. to get away from her, having grown resentful of Laurel being the center of attention during her DarkAndTroubledPast and continuing to be long after it subsided. YMMV on whether Mark's frustrations have merit, but Laurel ''definitely'' doesn't take it well.

* YourVampiresSuck: Laurel refers disparages to those teen vampire flicks which seem like the fantasy of an eight year old as the introduces the film via voiceover. Then at the end she hopes for sequels, though reassuring she can't get pregnant for the fourth one (being a trans woman), obviously both referring to the ''Film/{{Twilight}}'' films.

* OurVampiresAreDifferent: They look just like humans, sunlight doesn't kill them (it's only weakening), garlic, stakes and crosses do nothing. While they can be harmed with ordinary gunshots and fire, this won't kill them given they can heal. Ripping out their heart then burning it is (usually) the only way to do that. Any human bitten by a vampire will turn into one if they survive, thus the group in the film dictates killing victims unless this is desired. More powerful ones can also {{mind control}} humans or other vampires into serving them.

* TrashLanding: Duke tosses Laurel off a roof into a dumpster below after Izzy bites her, saying to come back assuming she survives the bite.

* VampiresOwnNightClubs: Duke and co. own an underground night club, where they also live somewhat. It's useful for bringing human prey right to them. Or sometimes, finding new women to turn, like Laurel.

* GoodParents: Laurel's mom and dad express their love for her as she leaves, warning her to be safe then tell her how proud they'd been about her overcoming (implied) trouble in her [[UsefulNotes/{{Transgender}} gender transition]], which they clearly accept fully.

* VampiresHarem: Vlad had turned many lovely women who caught his eye, then kept them as concubines for years. Duke finally rebelled and broke free, destroying Vlad except aside from his still-living heart.
