Last night we trudged through snow and ice to see "Let The Right
One In," a hauntingly beautiful film about sexuality, alienation,
schoolyard bullying, and vampires. Very much a queer film,
in that it shifts the focus of its young male protagonist's desire
from girls to an ambiguously sexed/gendered creature
who only passes as a girl. It also privileges loyalty
terrifying violence of quotidian bullying.

and commitment over familial bonds, and asks the viewer to
take most seriously not the vampire's stylized rituals, but theterrifying violence of quotidian bullying.
