Indigenous vampire drama Firebite has a Free to Air premiere tomorrow night on NITV.
This previously screened on AMC+. TVT review is here.
From prolific writer-director-cinematographer Warwick Thornton, Firebite is set in a remote mining town in the middle of the South Australian desert. When the Vampire King (Callan Mulvey) arrives to the last colonial stronghold in a remote Australian mining town, it’s up to two Aboriginal renegades – Tyson (Rob Collins) and Shanika (Shantae Barnes-Cowan) – to stop the Vampire King and end the bloody 230-year war for land and power. This is a story of modern-day colonisation. This is Firebite.
Episode One:
Pest Control When an Aboriginal man is kidnapped by vampires and a traditional vampire hunter goes missing, renegade fighters Tyson and Shanika realise there’s some serious trouble going on in their town and they’re the only ones that can help their community.
Thursday July 6 at 9.30pm on NITV and SBS On Demand.
