Short Film: Vampish


At just 4.5 minutes, this 2023 short by Christopher Goodenough takes the form of a breakup for infidelity but makes it a breakup due to vampirism.

Set in a diner, we meet Julia (Julia Gritzbach) and Shane (Shane R. Richard). She looks all the vamp, velvet gothic dress and fangs, he looks like an average guy. He wonders if she let them do it?

She says she guesses she did... she didn’t really think and she would, she admits, do it again. The referenced it is not a one-night stand (though that phrase is used) rather it is allowing a vampire to bite and turn her. Shane thought they had something real but, when he suggests she bite him she is clearly not ok with that and there is a very real reason…

This was a neat little short, nothing wildly new in it but there was an earnestness to the performances, and it scratches a little vampire itch.
