Let the Right One In

This movie was amazing.  Bullied-schoolboy revenge fantasy, played out through a kind of reverse-Twilight, pre-teen romance, which reminded me of those adorably twee boy-meets-girl scenes in Rushmore.

The crux for me?  The classmate cruelty scenes felt far more violent (disturbing, brutal, haunting) than the goriest vampire kill sequence.  Strong & subtle point, especially given the recent events in Chicago.  Couldn’t help but make the school killing connection.  Maddening.
