Byzantium Plot Synopsis:
Two mysterious women seek refuge in a run-down coastal resort. Clara (Gemma Arterton) meets lonely Noel (Daniel Mays), who provides shelter in his deserted guesthouse, Byzantium. Schoolgirl Eleanor "Ella" Webb (Saoirse Ronan) befriends Frank (Caleb Landry Jones) and tells him their lethal secret. They were born two hundred years ago and survive on human blood. As knowledge of their secret spreads, their past catches up on them with deathly consequence.
Byzantium has Gemma Arterton plays a vampire who turns her child played by Saoirse Ronan into a vampire as well. Neil Jordan directs this vampire movie and I am hoping this will be a great horror movie.
