Easily the best vampire film ever made, bar none.
Bar. None.

It is fucking class. I know you're all thinking "ugh a foreign film but with subtitles, skip that shit" like I did, but don't because it's a wicked film. In the literal sense as well as the descriptive sense.
Its probably the only film I've ever watched that successfully blends horror and drama together to create somekind of sick drama/horror lovechild hybrid.
it's set in 1980s Sweden and it's about this loner kid called Oskar who has no mates and gets bullied all the time and wants to kill his bullies and make them squeal like pigs (he says this over and over in the film), who befriends this other loner who moves in next to him in their apartment block. She's a bit of weirdo too and it turns out shes a vampire and this crazy love-ish kind of relationship springs up between the two 12 year olds.
It's easily one of the creepiest films I've ever seen, despite their being very few special effects and practically no gore - at least not any of that shite overthetop hollywood gore.
The horror aspect of the movie is done in such a subtle and macabre fashion and not at all "IM IN YO FACE, MAKIN YOU SCREAM" kind of horror that it is guaranteed to make the hairs on the back of your neck stand up.
the bit where the old bloke knocks out the passer by and hangs him up in the tree to drain his blood made my skin crawl
it's basically what Twilight should have been. Like, Meyer had the right idea (youknow, human falls in love with vampire) but her execution was horrendously shit.
Super movie, totally underrated.
