Let Me In
One of the reviews said that if you don't like your vampires to sparkle, Let Me In is for you, that about sums it up. It almost makes me laugh how effective it was -- I know what's behind the door, and that character doesn't, and I know he's going in there, and there's a full minute of build-up, and I'm almost laughing at the suspense because I know that somehow they'll make me jump out of my seat. How do they do that??
Here's the trailer. Yikes!
So if you like scary movies, track this one down. I was amazed that on Halloween it was only showing in one theater in town, the only vampire movie out, and a well reviewed movie at that. When I bought my ticket I asked how the availability was on seats, and the guy said there was 98% of the theater left. I guess everyone is at Jackass 2.

I really recommend the original Swedish one as well, subtitled over here as "Let the Right One In" ... the US one was 90% similar (almost scene for scene) but the extra Exorcist / Rosemary's Baby type SFX weren't really as necessary.
