Warning: This article contains spoilers for HBO's Irma Vep finale.

Hollywood and vampires: Two blood-sucking entities ripe for mining, and Alicia Vikander's Irma Vep dug deep into both during its run, which came to its shocking conclusion tonight.

The Oscar-winning Danish Girl and Tomb Raider actress teamed with filmmaker Olivier Assayas' for a meta meditation on fame, cinéma, and celebrity in the network's eight-part remake of his 1996 film of the same name. In both versions of the tale, the story revolves around a movie star living in France shooting a chaotic filmmaker's troubled adaptation of Louis Feuillade's classic black-and-white silent film Les Vampires — but Vikander's version ends on a much more personal note than Assayas' original, with A-list starlet Mira giving herself over completely to the spirit of the character as she both exorcises personal demons and exacts fitting revenge on the superficial, blood-sucking forces of Hollywood surrounding her.
