Neil Jordan’s newest offering is a blood-soaked, barmy tour de force, anchored firmly by its two leads, Gemma Arterton and Saoirse Ronan. There are definite strains of Jordan’s previous foray into the genre present here, but where Interview with A Vampire was all about male power play, Byzantium is concerned with the struggle of women in a world where men will constantly seek to drag them down. Beautifully filmed, and bolstered by its generally strong cast and a couple of suitably flamboyant touches, Byzantium is – despite belonging to a seriously over saturated genre – a vampire film that you can actually sink your teeth into.

Set to run from February 14th – February 24th, Glasgow Film Festival has this week announced its line-up for 2013. With some incredible films in the schedules, we at Best For Film are here to make much ado about something.

Edward Cullen is rolling in his not grave right now.

Sorry Gemma. Sort of.

Ssh, nobody mention how much better Saoirse is!
