So Vam Review: A Queer Australian Vampire Film Reflecting On Bullying and Belonging

Vampire movies have been a classic in the entertainment world ever since their conception. 1922’s Nosferatu is the oldest surviving adaptation of Bram Stoker’s Dracula, and it has been plagued with controversy ever since it came out in theaters. Hollywood’s earliest vampires were not even vampires as the world knows them today, as seen in films like Twilight. A movie like The Vampire, which was released in 1913, depicted vampires as temptresses, femme fatales with a bone to grind against men. However, the original vampire movie, Nosferatu, was ordered to be destroyed by Stoker’s estate, and that was done to comply legally with the rights. Its legacy was not forgotten, and movies like 2022’s So Vam take inspiration from the classics to reinvent a story rehashed before into something that represents an entire generation.
