Byzantium - 2013 - 6/10

Arched vampire film (sounded like a play to me) set in Hastings and Dublin.
Dual threads of modern girls eeking a living by petty crimes and prostitution, being trailed by two men wearing blue gloves. Secondary thread is of same girls, two hundred years earlier, and how they came to be “turned.”
Slow, low on thrills, yet avoids the usual clichés. Mysterious order and isolated cave involved.
Violates vampire rules such as daylight and mirrors - I am seeing this more often lately.
Top crew led by Neil Jordan.
