This Swedish made vampire flick was awesome. A little boy living in a snowy Stockholm suburb befriends a young girl who helps him confront his bullies at school. Oh, and she's a vampire, who happens to be responsible for a string of violent murders in town. Though its without a doubt a horror film, this movie isn't really very scary so much as it is creepy: it's bloody but not too bloody, it moves slowly without jump scenes, and, well come on, the vampire is just a lonely little girl. Aesthetically the movie is breathtaking; a certain swimming pool scene at the very end in particular. Touching and terrifying, I highly recommend it if you want a movie that will tug at your heart strings and still leave you saying "What the fuck...?"
