Jordan’s anemic 2007 Jodie Foster vehicle The Brave One had a fascinating premise, and Foster embracing the revenge subgenre had a ton of potential. At the time, the idea did seem like it might be a real crowd-pleaser. It didn’t, and although it has its moments, the movie is ultimately ruined by rote plotting, Foster’s barely believable descent int...
Just how far would you go to attain a perfect relationship? What would you be willing to do to hold onto that relationship once it’s in your grasp? How much would a connection like that compromise you: financially, morally, and physically? In Neil Jordan’s 2018 homage to psychodramas like Single White Female, Fatal Attraction, and The Hand That Roc...
Not his first excursion into genre-centric territory, Interview with the Vampire is the first mainstream horror movie the director made that enjoyed commercial and critical success. Jordan’s lavish, creepy, and baroque adaptation of Anne Rice’s source material is a beloved Gothic masterpiece. Interview with the Vampirefollows a trio of vampires – t...

The former IRA member relocates to the UK to make amends by tracking down the lover of Jody (Forest Whitaker), a man whose death Fergus is responsible for. His ...
Neil Jordan subverts the vampire trope with a uniquely feminist slant in 2012’s Byzantium. Vampire duo Clara (Gemma Arterton) and Eleanor Webb (Saoirse Ronan) have eluded a misogynistic order of vampires, led by the suitably named Ruthven (Johnny Lee Miller). They flee to an out-of-the-way seaside town where Clara hooks up with the recently bereave...
It is widely held that The Butcher Boyis Neil Jordan’s greatest film, and the adaptation of Patrick McCabe’s novel is so faithful to the original story, that Francie Brady (Eamonn Owens) practically walks off the page. In conservative small-town Ireland, Francie stands out like a sore thumb. A troubled boy from a troubled family and largely left to...
Released between his brilliant early films Angel and Mona Lisa, In The Company of Wolvesis (in collaboration with Angela Carter) Neil Jordan’s experimental horror portmanteau, and is chock-full of the imaginative and grotesque imagery of fairytales. In the aftermath of a tragedy, Rosaleen (Sarah Patterson) is sent to her grandmother’s (the late Ang...
