2. The Transfiguration

Transfiguration Productions

An art-house vampire film to the max, The Transfiguration roots the supernatural in the mundanity of everyday life, and while occasionally a little slow, is a mostly fascinating attempt to weave a compelling horror film on a tiny budget.

Eric Ruffin is fantastic as lonesome vampire Milo, veering far away from the more threatening and outwardly silly screen "monsters" audiences are conditioned to expect.

His chemistry with quasi-romantic interest Sophie (Chloe Levine) adds plenty of humanity to the ambiguous, slow-burn tale, and while it will be too vague and quiet for some genre fans, it's an undeniably fresh and resourceful spin on familiar fare with plenty to say about contemporary American society.
