Let the Right One In
A completely new twist for the vampire genre. The main vampire anti-hero is a young (but not so young) girl played by
Lina Leandersson. Her character, Eli, is somewhat of a misfit, as vampires go, but nonetheless fully capable of all things vampire. I've rarely seen such an old soul in such a young actor.
This film was made in Sweden and the cinematography and ambient music are quite mesmerizing. Definitely worth renting. If you rent it, watch it with the Swedish soundtrack and English subtitles. The poorly done English dubbing will distract you from the film's true beauty.
