let the right one in (2009)

aka Låt den rätte komma in.
"Oskar: Are you really twelve? Eli: Yes. It's just I've been twelve for a very long time."
Oskar (Kåre Hedebrant) a bullied 12-year-old boy who finds friendship with Eli (Lina Leandersson), the young girl who has just moved in next door. Becoming infatuated he finds out she is a vampire and their friendship develops in to love, and leads to revenge.

A beautifully constructed coming-of-age story with a slow, quiet, unsensational approach, that draws you into the blackly comic tale.
