The Bottom Line:
If this doesn’t scare you, we give up! Remade (of course) by Hollywood. We like this one best (of course).
Acclaimed as one of the most beautiful, haunting and chilling tales of modern cinema, this has the rich texture of your favourite childhood nightmare. Two lonely children meet during a Scandinavian winter. It's a film that plays in your head, offering a vampiric blood-warm embrace for your soul while you contemplate the dangerous, obsessive and fragile nature of love.
Jimmy Fay, Theatre Director
