Neil Jordan’s cult classic film “Interview with the Vampire” is followed seventeen years later by a return to familiar themes, this time telling the story of mother-daughter vampires. Mysterious Clara and Eleanor seek refuge in a run-down coastal town after a brutal murder. They are penniless and Clara resorts to prostitution out of desperation. Meanwhile, Eleanor, forever stuck in her school years, meets the kind Frank who begins to question her about the truth. Before long, the small peaceful fishing village is shaken by deaths. Spanning two centuries, “A Vampire Story” is a gothic period film that captivates the audience with its bloody and melancholic atmosphere, while also being a stylish and contemporary thriller.
