Let the Right One In

I adore this movie so much. Good review, by the way.

Late to say, but it was awesome.

I would say it does break a certain mold in vampire fiction, in the sense that it ignores the thematic framework of pious chastity.
In this sense its comparable to Abel Ferrara's The Addiction and Guillermo del Toro's Cronos; stories in which the vampire-mythos is merely of peripheral importance.

I'm still not sure whether the movie has a happy ending or not.

Because you've got to wonder: How did Eli and Hakan meet and how long have they known eachother? Maybe Hakan was also a little boy when he met Eli. I should try and track down the novel since I heard it goes to a lot deeper and darker places.

Yeah, it does. For instance, Håkan is quite the pedophile in the book, trying to get blowjobs from 10 year old boys with no teeth.
