With a tagline like “Twilight Meets Tarantino”, it’s okay for your first impression of The Thompsons to be less than charmed. Luckily, the film is nowhere close to that description and is all the better for it.
The movie starts with the Hamilton family, now going by the surname of Thompson, scattered across Europe.

Francis Thompson, finally coming to terms with the monster he is, has taken point searching the English countryside for vamps like them. What he finds is another family just like his; the Stuarts.
