Short Film: Scampire


This was a film that runs just under 6-minutes and was directed by Frank Romano III, it was released in 2023. It starts with a large castle and Nina (Keilah Jude) waits, bottle of wine in hand, ready to deny the owner and giving herself a pep-talk.

The door opens and she is met by Rachel (Chena Verony) who, we soon find, goes by Raquel now. She leads her old school friend to the kitchen where there is a group of people Nina doesn’t know.

They soon make it clear that when Nina was invited to dinner, she was to be the main course, they are all vampires. Nina is relieved, much to the confusion of the vampires, and explains that she was afraid Raquel was trying to scam her into a pyramid scheme – just killing her is a blessed relief. Could the vampires have more than just dinner on their minds though?

This was a fun little film with a nice sideswipe at pyramid schemes and tying the vampires in with that most unsavoury part of capitalism. Well shot and very well acted from the primaries it is worth your time.

At the time of writing, I could not find an IMDb page.
