Above average foreign (for Hollywood) film : Let the right one in

A Swedish film about a lonely 12 year old who befriends a girl which moves in next door, but wait, she's not a girl, she's a vampire!
This is a morbid yet sweetly romantic (as if those words could come in one sentence!) film about friendship and sacrifice. It is about being a friend in need. Although, the direction is quite mediocre, the child 'vampire', Lina Leandersson gives a memorable performance. The other thing that stands out is the depiction of her character that appeals to your empathy. In short, this is a vampire movie, that's not horror and is quite sweet. Way better than the 'Twilight' cr*p being thrown around.
Recommended for people who don't mind off-beat (read parallel) films. Not recommended for 'bollywood' and 'twilight' types. :P

6.5 to 7 stars out of 10.
