Let the Right One In


This was an excellent movie. The vampires in this movie don't shimmer in sunlight and seemingly can only sustain themselves on HUMAN blood. There is a love story here, though.

I jokingly tried to get my wife to watch it by calling it a Swedish Twilight. It kind of is, if twilight had real vampires and was dark and scary. The movie itself isn't all that scary, but it has some tense moments.

The story centers around Oskar, a 12 year old boy that gets bullied at school, and Eli, a strange 12 year old girl that moves in next door. Eli, it turns out, is a vampire. That doesn't stop Eli and Oskar from becoming best friends.
