Let the Right One In

Kåre Hedebrant, Lina Leandersson. Foreign film. Oskar, a bullied 12-year old, dreams of revenge. He falls in love with Eli, a peculiar girl. She can't stand the sun or food and to come into a room she needs to be invited. Eli gives Oskar the strength to hit back but when he realizes that Eli needs to drink other peoples blood to live he's faced with a choice. How much can love forgive?

Oh man, this preview is creepy as hell. I love the sparse dialogue, the cinematography. At first I thought it was French, but I'm pretty sure it's Swedish. Definitely a film to look more into.

I think the next time I'm at work, I will be looking up this movie to watch it. It's sound freaky, but freaky is my kind of movie.

I've heard about it - kind of have to live under a rock not to have, haha. But haven't read any of them. Does the preview remind you of them?
