A nurse moves with her teen daughter to wintry northern Swedish town, where strange goings-on - particularly at the hospital - soon point to the horror buff's favorite fanged bunch of blood suckers... Fresh, freakily fun take on the vampire genre that winningly and highly entertainingly admits that it's not going to take itself seriously. Surprisingly well-written (well, a few loopholes and an ending that does take a very easy way out) with a nice WW2 background story, good teenage lingo and many humorous nods to the genre that will safely elevate this up on a cult shelf. The cross-cutting between the date-dinner-at-parent's-house and the teen party scenes is great!
And as Swedish movies come in this genre, it's reliably acted and really colorfully and convincingly made! As an interesting comparison with "Let the right one in", guess what? - I honestly enjoyed this one more...
