The premise

In a remote South-Australian desert mining town — a hive for the last vampire stronghold — two Indigenous Australian hunters embark on a quest to battle the last colony of vampires.

Horror Vault's take

Deep in the unforgiving South Australian outback, a remote mining settlement harbours a terrifying secret: it sits atop the last surviving stronghold of vampires on Earth. Two Indigenous Australian hunters take it upon themselves to wage a brutal, personal war against this ancient colony before it can spread beyond the desert. Rooted in a rarely seen cultural perspective, Firebite blends pulse-pounding vampire mythology with a raw, sun-scorched setting that feels wholly its own. The stark landscape is as formidable as the creatures lurking beneath it.
