Based on a book by Matt Haig, the Sky Original film tells the story of parents Peter and Helen Radley (played by Damian and Kelly) who are hiding a dark secret from their teenage children, Clara (Bo Bragason) and Rowan (Harry Baxendale).
In the film, Peter and Helen are vampires who have abstained from drinking human blood for over a decade, even keeping their children in the dark about who they really are. However, when Clara is attacked by a boy in her class and her natural instincts take over causing her to brutally kill him, Peter and Helen are forced to reveal the truth. Also, when Peter’s twin brother Will (also played by Damian) arrives, showing off his practicing vampire lifestyle, the family face a battle to hold back their hidden urges.
Kelly shot to fame in 1996 as schoolgirl Diane in hit movie Trainspotting alongside fellow Scottish actor Ewan McGregor. Sinmce then she has starred in a host of TV shows and films on both sides of the Atlantic, including BBC favourite Line of Duty.

The actress, who played Jo Davidson in season six of Line of Duty, is one of many names cast in the upcoming show, based on the novels of the same name by Danish author, Jussi Adler-Olsen. And despite offers of new roles continuing to flood in, Kelly has previously admitted to having doubts over her ability. She once admitted: ‘I suffered from a lack of confidence for a long time because I hadn’t gone to drama school and I thought that made me like I was just faking it or that I was lucky every time I got a job.
‘I do feel different now and I’ve pretty much convinced myself this is what I’m cut out to do.’ Edinburgh Festival Damian Lewis Share or comment on this article: Beaming Damian Lewis and his co-star Kelly MacDonald attend the photocall for their new vampire film The Radleys during Edinburgh Film Festival e-mail Add comment.
