Sometimes, fear is quiet. It lurks in anxiety and expectations, hiding among old souls and deafening silence. Bram Stoker gave vampires a dashing legacy but the freshest take on the genre in years explores the subtle horrors and sorrows of an undead child. Marcus and Melissa discuss the history of bloodsuckers and debate undertones present in the Swedish original but removed from the British/American remake.

Motion Picture Terror Scale: 2 (Marcus) / 3 (Melissa). Quality: 5. Enjoyment: 4+ / 5
