The Thompsons is an independent 2012 horror film directed by the Butcher Brothers (Mitchell Altieri and Phil Flores) and a sequel to their previous film The Hamiltons. It premiered at the London FrightFest Film Festival on August 26, 2012.[1]

Filmed largely in the UK, several scenes feature The Ringlestone Inn Near Harrietsham, in Kent, south-east of London.[2]

Plot

On the run from the law, the vampire family the Hamiltons (now known as the Thompsons) heads to England to find an ancient vampire clan known as the Stuarts. Unbeknownst to the Hamiltons, the Stuarts have ulterior motives of their own.

Cast

Reception

Beyond Hollywood wrote, "The Thompsons is very much a pleasant surprise, an entertaining and reasonably well crafted modern vampire tale.[3] Though a little bit True Blood, the film is considerably more engaging than most others of its type, boosted by a likeable returning cast. The film’s real strengths are its surprisingly human script (written by the Butcher Brothers and Knauf) and solid character work, both of which help to keep the viewer involved".[4]
