Title: Let The Right One In (Låt den rätte komma in) (2008)
Plot: Times are tough for beat up young Oskar (Kare Hedebrant) bullied and picked on, Oskar dreams for payback on his bully "friends." Late one night he meets Eli (Lina Leandersson) a very strange girl who only comes out at night. Eli helps Oskar with his fears from others and helps him gain strength to face his peers. Soon young love blossoms but alas it can't be so. Eli must use certain tactics to stay alive and her world is so much different than Oskar can imagine. A powerful story that is sure to surprise.
Directing/Writing/Acting: Directed by Thomas Alfredson and written by John Ajvide Lindgvist. This is a foreign film and just done beautifully. The children captured my heart among the darkness of the story.
Story: The story itself was very interesting. The ending was a little abrupt and I longed for a little more. However I always enjoy a dark love story.
Would I suggest it: I'll give it a 7.5/10. Not much that I can say really but I would suggest giving it a try it's definitely different but enjoyable and catching.
