LET THE RIGHT ONE IN: Quick Bite

LET THE RIGHT ONE IN OR FEEL THEIR WRATH

Who knew there were adolescent vampires? Before Twilight...I guess the Swedish do. Dubbed in English, this is one of the most scary yet touching films I have seen to date. Oskar is a freakishly pale boy who is picked on by bullies at school. He is very self aware, but longs for companionship. A mysterious man and his daughter moves into the same apartment complex as Oskar, yet he doesn't meet her right away. While he is outside practising his self defence moves one night, she, Eli, shows up out of nowhere. They become friends. It is also around this time that a string of murders start to impact the community. We then see the man who is killing and soon understand why. This movie centers around the tender friendship between the two and the impact Eli has on Oskar. For a horror film, it is unusual, the most I've seen.
Bite: High honors for the Quiet Vampire. Much props for stepping outside the box.
