A 12-year-old boy's new friend is a vampire.

Immediately after watching it, I thought I'd give it a C plus. But it's the kind of movie that sinks into your brain and won't leave you alone, and I find myself deciding between a B or an A.

This offbeat Swedish vampire film is a modern masterpiece. I agree it reaches that level.
