In Los Alamos, New Mexico, the twelve year-old Owen is a lonely and outcast boy bullied in school by Kenny and two other classmates; at home, Owen dreams of avenging himself against the trio of bullies. He befriends his twelve-year-old next door neighbor, Abby, who only appears during the night in the playground of their building. Meanwhile, Abby's father is a wanted serial-killer who drains the blood of his victims to supply Abby, who is actually an ancient vampire. Abby advises Owen to fight Kenny; however, soon he discovers that she is a vampire, and he feels fear and love for the girl. Meanwhile a police officer is investigating the murder cases, believing that it is a satanic cult.Written by

My friend told me that there is this movie playing in theaters with IMDb rating up to 7 so we should watch. I never heard about any novel nor seen Swedish version of this movie.
The movie starts with slow pace but it gets amazingly interesting when Abby (Chloë Grace Moretz) and Owen (Kodi Smit-McPhee) gets in a trust bond and then in to love! There are some harsh vamp scene in the movie but then there are Romantic scenes also! you have to rate this movie in all three categories Thriller/Romantic/Drama as it qualifies all three categories.
Amazing movie with great climax!! kind a remind you of popular Vampire/Human love stories such as Buffy/Angel and Edward/Bella (twilight) and of-course with gr8 ending!!!!
MUST WATCH MOVIE!
