Normally, I think a lot of the vampire stuff is cheesy, but I just saw an awesome movie (and read an awesome book) called Let the Right One In. Stephen King fans, I think you will love the book as much as I do. I read it all in one day in one sitting and I was nearly dancing around the room by the end of it, it was so exciting and creepy.
As it's a Swedish book, the movie is not in English (although it has been picked up and a new version will be released here). But the Swedish film is absolutely amazing. It has a 97% on
rotten tomatoes. Not nearly as dark and disturbing as the book (I wonder if the American remake will be more twisted), it's still a wonderful exploration of some of the themes presented in the novel.
So, if you are tired of seeing vampire as limp, wristed emo-kids who have overly long, complicated relationships with simpering idiots, check out Let the Right One In. You can watch the trailer
