Byzantium

Byzantium is a melancholic and atmospheric drama with strong fantasy and horror elements. Audience emotional responses are primarily driven by Sadness and Melancholy, reflecting the characters' tragic, immortal existence and their constant struggle. Anxiety and Fear are prominent due to their 'lethal secret,' the need to feed, and the ever-present threat of their past. Empathy is high as viewers connect with the complex mother-daughter bond and their plight. Curiosity is also significant, stemming from the mystery of their origins and the unfolding of their dark history. The film's focus is more on the psychological and emotional weight of their lives rather than overt horror scares.
