Let the Right One In

This Swedish vampire love story comes out of nowhere. It's an affecting but stoic film of two souls finding each other: one, Oskar, an exceedingly blond wuss, and the other, a pale 12-year-old vampire girl who often has blood on her face. It's steady and not driven by music or special effects, but every once in a while, she eats people with unexpected ferocity. I'm a fan of this one. It might serve as a nice double feature with "Twilight," except that this is one to watch after the 13-year-old girls (and occasional 30-something-year-old girls) go to sleep.
