Residents of a coastal town learn, with deathly consequences, the secret shared by the two mysterious women who have sought shelter at a rundown hotel.
Clara (Gemma Arterton) and her daughter Eleanor (Saoirse Ronan) are rogue vampires ever evading a group of male vampires intent upon finding and destroying them after Clara has stolen their precious secrets. By turns contemplatively beautiful and raucously violent, this sleeper is a unique take on the vampire mythos and a wild ride on the quest for female freedom and power.

I remember really enjoying this movie! Thanks for the reminder, I'll have to queue it up as a double feature with The Host this weekend.

There are some outstanding performances in this film, and the doppelgänger transformation was a cool twist. Loved it!
