Description
7:30 PM - Pre-show 8:00 PM - THE TRANSFIGURATION Taking notes gritty realism and combining them with vampire lore, The Transfiguration follows a young bullied teenager named Milo who is obsessed with vampirism and has a desire to drink blood, who meets and forms a friendship with an equally alienated girl named Sophie.Milo grows obsessively methodical with planning who his next victim will be, and remains surrounded by his vast collection of vampire paraphernalia (including several VHS video tapes of famous vampire stories, like The Lost Boys and Fright Night). Sophie reveals to Milo her own personal problems, and together, the two attempt to face their respective demons with each other.
The Transfiguration wears its cinematic influences on its sleeve, especially that of Nosferatu, George Romero's Martin and even Kathryn Bigelow's Near Dark. This is no bloodbath gore film, it instead is subdued and creeping rather than bloody and exploitative - focusing on exploring the lives of Milo and Sophie, to make for an absorbing, intoxicating watch.
