One of my top vampire movies of all time!!!

One of the more unique takes on the old vampire story. A little like _Let the Right One In_, yet with a dash of _Interview with the Vampire_. No fangs to be found here. No gothic castles. No sparkling in the sunlight. _Byzantium_ has a tone of film noir, and perhaps wartime romance. This is every bit a drama, but there is still some bloody violence. We spend the bulk of our time with Clara, and Eleanor, in modern day, with jumps into the past to flesh out their stories. I could see this as a great movie for people who don't like typical vampire movies, while at the same time being a breath of fresh air for those who have seen every other vampire film under the sun.

I have to say, I really liked this fresh take on the vampire genre… Saoirse Ronan was lovely and for some reason i quite like Jonny Lee Miller’s performance…

Honestly way better than I expected it to be. A rather refreshing take on vampires.
