While it’s more accurately a Gothic Thriller, Byzantium is definitely one of the best Horror offerings of 2013 (and if I had seen it a few weeks ago, it most certainly would have made my Top 10 List). I remember thinking, as I watched, that Byzantium is the movie Interview with the Vampire tried to be (but failed miserably). Turns out the link between these two films goes way beyond my mental association, as Neil Jordan directed both. So if Interview was an embarrassment (at least in the eyes of Horror aficionados), Byzantium more than makes amends; every aspect of this film is superior. I do believe we have a future classic here.
