Wow. Someone actually managed to make an original vampire movie. I am not a big fan of vampire stories, just seen it too many times. But this as good as it gets. Beautifully shot, and great looking on blu-ray, moody, mysterious, emotional. This is as much a adolescent love story, as anything. An outsider boy, fragile, picked on, and harboring violent fantasies of revenge is befriended by a strange, pale young girl who seems not to feel the Swedish cold. A strange and fascinating mix of tones. Scary killings, very sweet, well acted adolescent romance, and occasional black comedy. There is also an interesting, complex morality here. Both our young heroes have deeply violent, sadistic streaks within them. Yet we root for them, even though some off her victims are truly innocent, and he collects stories about murder like a nascent serial killer. It grew even deeper emotionally on 2nd viewing.

Visually beautiful film. Its interesting to see a vampire film set in a snow filled landscape. Set the movie to play with English subtitles, instead of dubbing, for the fullest effect.

I loved it! It was unique and offered a very different view of vampires. I would highly recommend it. I have read reviews that said it was boring but I did not find it to be boring at all. The only change I would have made would have been more of a backstory of Eli.
