Byzantium**                             

(GB/Ire 2012)

A centuries old teenage vampire and her nymphomaniac mother find refuge in a sleazy seaside guesthouse.
Stylish, characteristic Jordan vampire thriller which could have been subtler, slightly lazily blending elements of his previous films (Mona Lisa and Interview with the Vampire among them), and even the likes of Twilight and Let the Right One In thrown into the commercial mixture, but the main performances help to keep it fresh.
