Let The Right One In is a Swedish vampire romance directed by Tomas Alfredson, based on a novel written by John Ajvide Lindqvist. It may sound cheesy, but it is a compelling film. The tone is stark and quiet, punctuated with bursts of violence. A grade school boy, Eli, befriends a mysterious neighbor, Oskar, an androgynous vampire who looks to near his age, living with an older man. A number of murders begin to occur and Oskar helps Eli deal with bullies at his school. It is a strange and mesmerizing film (Unfortunately there is a Hollywood version in the works as well).
