Let the Right One In
-
This Swedish film is based on a novel by the same name. It's a vampire story with some of the old tropes (will burn in sunlight) and a truly creepy realism. When a bullied 12-year-old boy meets the strange girl next door, he finds first friendship and eventually a complicated relationship. I loved the first half of the movie, but the last third or fourth of it fell apart for me---partly because of storytelling issues and partly because of where the characters went.
The best part of the movie is not visible from the shots below, unfortunately. It's the incredible, crisp cinematography of snowy landscapes and cold interiors. The quality of the light and colors is great, and the camera shots are inventive.
