The Swedish art film, Let The Right One In is the first vampire film I've seen that is completely unpretentious and honest. It's probably the first one I've seen that doesn't try to make vampires seem cool or sexy.
It's about a boy who's the loner in school that gets picked on a lot. He meets this girl who moves in next door, they develop a friendship/relationship and eventually, he begins to suspect that she's a vampire. Now I know my summary sounds lame but I promise it was a fantastic movie. They shot the movie in such a beautiful way, portraying the startling innocence and maturity of the young in the most honest way. Even though the story wasn't full of excitement and action, the way it was shot just made me want to watch it again. It made me want to go to Sweden.
