Synopsis

Orphaned 14-year-old Milo is an outsider who hides behind his fascination with the world of the vampire. When he meets the equally alienated Sophie, the two form a bond that begins to challenge Milo’s dark obsession, blurring his fantasy into reality.

Our take

Is late October the only worthy time of year to dive deep into the world of vampirism? We think not! Carefully fusing its coming-of-age sensibility with the rules of the horror genre, The Transfiguration is a harrowing, quietly paced tale of obsession and young love in the far reaches of NYC.
