Almost 20 years after Interview With the Vampire, Neil Jordan explores the vampire mythology once again with Byzantium as he breathes new life into a tired genre. Led by both Saoirse Ronan and Gemma Arterton, this vampire tale is a dark and moody flick with brilliant visuals and just enough of an original spark to make it one of the best vampire films since Let the Right One In. Two mysterious women seek refuge in a run-down coastal resort. Clara meets lonely Noel, who provides shelter in his deserted guesthouse, Byzantium. Schoolgirl Eleanor befriends Frank and tells him their lethal secret. They were born 200 years ago and survive on human blood. As knowledge of their secret spreads, their past catches up on them with deathly consequence. Continue Reading…

‘Byzantium’ Bites into a Release Date

Ryan —  March 12, 2013 — 5 Comments

Neil Jordan is back in the blood-sucking genre with his latest vampire tale, Byzantium, that is set for its debut on June 28th through IFC Films in limited theaters as well as VOD. I’m pumped to see Jordan bringing us a new vampire flick because his Interview with the Vampire is easily one of my favorite flicks in the genre. Now more than ever do we need a solid film to return vampires back to their terrifying roots — hopefully Jordan’s Byzantium is the film that will do just that. Continue Reading…

First Clip From Neil Jordan’s ‘Byzantium’

Ryan —  September 7, 2012 — 5 Comments

Interview with the Vampire director Neil Jordan returns to the genre with the highly anticipated vampire flick Byzantium starring Gemma Arterton, Sam Riley and Saoirse Ronan. Set for its premier this week at TIFF we get this very cool clip which shows a vampire’s undeniable urge to drink human blood. Normally I stay away from clips of movies I’m excited to see but this film has been so under the radar that I had to share it with you guys.

In the film, “Two mysterious women seek refuge in a run-down coastal resort. Clara meets lonely Noel, who provides shelter in his deserted guesthouse, Byzantium. Schoolgirl Eleanor befriends Frank and tells him their lethal secret. They were born 200 years ago and survive on human blood. As knowledge of their secret spreads, their past catches up on them with deathly consequence.”

Check out the clip below.
