This movie was just too long and drawn out. I can think of at least 5 scenes that they could have cut out completely and it wouldn't have hurt the movie at all. I love vampire movies, but this one fell way short on entertainment.

Action: 3/3 + Comedy: 1/2 + Good vs Evil: 1/1 + Love/Sex: 1/1 + Special Effects: 1/1 + Plot: 1/1 + Music: 1/1 = 9/10 or 90%. The acting, development, and grounded fairytale are all outstanding. The pace is slow though it is a reflection of the way of life as well as an acceptable reasoning for why the characters live and behave as they sometimes do. For the vampire and horror genre, movies are seldom this great and ground-breaking!

Finally saw Let the Right One In, an interesting Swedish vampire movie (never thought I'd say that). The younger actors were good and the movie was interesting enough without being too violent. It was a little on the slow side, but the relationships between Oskar and Eli were poignant and it almost made me wish I had a friend like that.
