Beautifully atmospheric, haunting Swedish horror about a bullied kid who makes friends with the vampire who's moved in next door.

Let the right one in is based on a young boy name Oskar who gets bullied a lot who falls in love with another person. we are led to believe that the person that Oskar falls inlove with is a girl, but really he's a boy played by an actress, and half way through the film we find out he's a vampire. I was expecting for this "horror" film to scare me or at least make me jump but it didn't even do that. I was rather dissapointed when i saw that it was about a boy that falls for a vampire. I felt like I was wathcing a creepier version of twilight. Although i did enjoy the parts where live bodies were hung upside down by their feet and skined alive for their blood to feed the vampire. and I also enjoyed that the vampire poses as a sweet innocent kid and then rips his pray to shreds as soon as they get close to him All in all i think that this film was enjoyable but I wouldn't call it a horror film as it is not at all scary, it's just creepy.
