A dark, moody tale that jumps back and forth in time to tell the story of two vampire women constantly on the run. It's broody slow-pacing makes for a compelling character study of these creatures rather than focusing on their powers. There's no fangs or glittering in the sunlight, yet still manages to wash a rich, dark tone over atmospheric daylight. The characters are as frightening as they are sympathetic giving Gemma Arterton and Saoirse Ronan a magnificent script to work with.
A very wonderful treat for someone who felt like the vampire films have been done to death.
