After reading loads of good reviews, many of which written by members here, I decided to give Byzantium a watch last night.
Wow, definite top 5 film of 2013 for me, I loved absolutely everything about it.
I like how the filmmakers ditched the usual conventions for vampire films-no reflection, allergy to sunlight and water, sharp teeth, but kept the rule of "you're not allowed in unless I invite you". And, the way the two leads differ in how they feed was excellent, real breath of fresh air for the genre.
I was worried that it was going to turn into something resembling a recent franchise I refuse to name in the same post of this excellent film, especially with teenage love story element of the plot, but thankfully it didn't.
If you haven't seen this, then I highly recommend you do as it really is fantastic.
10/10
