The Transfiguration (2016) Horror Drama Poster

The Transfiguration Plot Synopsis:

The outcast orphan Milo is a lonely teenager that lives with his brother in a dangerous neighborhood. Milo is fan of vampire stories and movies and he randomly kills people to drink their blood like a vampire and steal their money. When he meets the depressed teenager Sophie, they become friends and spend their leisure time together affecting Milo.


Director Michael O"Shea"s The Transfiguration (2016) looks like the type of vampire film I have been waiting for since watching Let the Right One In (2008) and the English remake Let Me In (2010). I have a very good idea where the plot will lead but I want to see the journey to that point as one of the main characters progresses into a human vampire. I feel there is a major twist and I hope it is what I think it is; a surprise real vampire. Eric Ruffin, Chloe Levine, and Jelly Bean star in The Transfiguration.

Opens in New York on Friday, April 7th at the Angelika Film Center

Opens in Los Angeles on Friday, April 21st at The Nuart Theatre

An official selection at the Cannes Film Festival, writer/director Michael O"Shea"s debut feature The Transfiguration follows troubled teen Milo who hides behind his fascination with vampire lore. When he meets the equally alienated Sophie, the two form a bond that begins to challenge Milo"s dark obsession, blurring his fantasy into reality. A chilling portrait of violence, The Transfiguration is an atmospheric thriller set against the grit of New York City.

The Transfiguration is written and directed by Michael O"Shea and stars Eric Ruffin, Chloe Levine, and Aaron Moten.
