Easily the best vampire film since the genre's resurgence c.Twilight, Let The Right One In is, too, probably the most beautiful film on this list. Directed by Swede Tomas Alfredson, Let The Right One In is the story of Oskar, a weak, bullied twelve-year-old boy who finds love - and eventually revenge - through Eli, a transfixing presence as played by Lina Leandersson. Ultimately a dark, malicious love story, the film currents on the power of voyeurism, anxiety, confusion and some genuine, frightening horror. It's also blanched of colour, so that even blood comes up black, the cold palette adding to the sense of cool, arctic fear that runs throughout the picture. Heralded on release as a breath of icy, fresh air into the room of the Vampire Film's stale keeping, Let The Right One In is a true masterwork, and the final scene at the swimming baths trades the film's up-until-then minimalism for a shocking, stunning ending for the ages.
