V is a confrontational and challenging coming-of-age drama that uses vampire mythology and horror genre tropes to explore femininity and sexual abuse. Think: Fish Tank meets Let the Right One In. The film slowly reveals how Minnie, a punchy word-a-second teenage girl, became a vampire as a result of being groomed online. Her vampirism is a physical embodiment of the damage caused.
