Swedish scares

Let the Right One In (2008)

Vampires are popular everywhere so here we have a Swedish film based on a Swedish book of the same name about vampires. A young boy is bullied at school and make friends with a young vampire that lives next door.

Make no mistake just because this film features young characters as it's focal point does not mean this is a film for kids. Unlike other teen vampire films this is a dark, creepy and realistic take on the idea of vampires and will certainly put you on edge. The film maintains a great atmosphere by slowly revealing it's dark underbelly while retaining a solid footing in the real world though the relationship between the two main characters.
