Oskar, a bullied 12-year old, dreams of revenge. He falls in love with Eli, a peculiar girl. She can't stand the sun or food and to come into a room she needs to be invited. Eli gives Oskar the strength to hit back, but when he realizes that Eli needs to drink other people's blood to live he's faced with a choice. How much can love forgive?
This is one of those movies that when it was over I really wanted to watch it again. Not to say that in a good or bad way, but just because its a thinking persons movie. First off this is a "first-time" love story between two 12 year olds that just so happens one is a vampire. The thing I wanna make sure people realize is this is a gory and gruesome movie (a hard R rating), but then again its a vampire movie. So dont let the love story keep away the fact that its a horror movie. The 2 main actors in this movie have GREAT chemistry amd they both did amazing jobs. The boy who played Oskcar was the perfect outsider who wanted a friend or love so bad that her being a blood drinker would bother him. The only bad part about this movie is it feels like a 4 hour movie, the pace is slow, theres not a lot of dialoge in the beginning, and nothing really happens in the first hour or so. As the movie progresses everything in the movie also progresses untill the ending that was so perfect, for a not so perfect film. Even with its faults I feel this will be a cult classic in the years to come (and an already scheduled american remake in 2010). Recommended!
