Cat Out of the Bag Alert!  This review contains some spoilers for this movie!

Synopsis: Oskar (Kåre Hedebrant) is an outcast at school, tormented by bullies and misunderstood by his classmates.  When a mysterious girl named Eli (Lina Leandersson) moves into the apartment next to his, they form a strong but eerie friendship in this dark, brooding horror masterpiece from Sweden.  Remade in America as Let Me In (however, we strongly recommend viewing this much more atmospheric original with English subtitles.)

Kitty Cameo: One cat which appears in the film is a white one in a shop window which reacts violently when Eli passes by.
