From classics like Nosferatu to modern hits like Underworld, vampire movies have captivated audiences for decades. The latest addition to this genre is Abigail, featuring Count Dracula's daughter as the main antagonist. Before diving into this new film, it's worth exploring the hidden gems and lesser-known vampire stories, with 2012's Byzantium being a standout choice.
The Big Picture Ever since F.W. Murnau's Nosferatu hit the screens in 1922, cinema has been overtaken by stories of vampires. Some, of course, are more well-known and well-loved than others. Still, from indie thinkers like Shadow of the Vampire and A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night to action romps such as Underworld and 30 Days of Night, the world of film has vamp stories for each and every kind of taste.
Byzantium RDramaDocumentaryFantasy HorrorThriller Residents of a coastal town learn, with deathly consequences, the secret shared by the two mysterious women who have sought shelter at a rundown hotel. The secret lies within a cave, in which lives a creature called a "soucriant". When Ruthven rapes Eleanor, condemning her to die of syphilis just like him, Clara takes Eleanor to the cave to save her life. Though Clara was allowed to live as a vampire, she was forbidden from creating other vampires by a vampire group known as the Brethren. After saving Eleanor, the two women go on the run, in an effort to keep her alive which isn't always appreciated.
In Byzantium, the familial bonds that tie Clara and Eleanor together go beyond the vampirical. The two are indeed mother and child, connected by blood. Except their little family becomes a sort of secret society of its own. Transformed from a human woman, socially expected to give life, into a female soucriant, forbidden from doing so, Clara shelters Eleanor, creating her own code to allegedly keep her daughter safe.
