We Are The Night (2010)

We Are the Night is a 2010 German vampire horror film directed by Dennis Gansel, starring Karoline Herfurth and Nina Hoss. The film explores themes of depression, self-harm, the consequences of immortality, suicide, and "explores" Valerie Solanas' idea of an all-female society. Two other endings were shot for this film, like with Gansel's previous film The Wave. Both were discarded to bring a more ambiguous ending to the film. We are the night flopped in German cinemas. Dennis Gansel stated in German press that the commercial failure hurt his soul because of all the work he and his co-workers put into the film. Dennis Gansel attributed the failure to the film opening the same week as The Twilight Saga: Eclipse and not able to compete with such an established franchise. The film fared better on DVD. source: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1692504/ In Berlin, a cop closes in on an all-female vampire trio who just took in a new member, Lena. source: http://www...

Let The Right One In (2008)

Let the Right One In is a 2008 Swedish romantic horror film directed by Tomas Alfredson. Based on the 2004 novel of the same title by John Ajvide Lindqvist, who also wrote the screenplay. Alfredson, unconcerned with the horror and vampire conventions, decided to tone down many elements of the novel and focus primarily on the relationship between the two main characters. Selecting the lead actors involved a year-long process with open castings held all over Sweden. In the end, then 11-year-olds KΓ₯re Hedebrant and Lina Leandersson were chosen for the leading roles. source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Let_the_Right_One_In_(film) Oskar, a bullied 12-year old, dreams of revenge. He falls in love with Eli, a peculiar girl. She can't stand the sun or food and to come into a room she needs to be invited. Eli gives Oskar the strength to hit back but when he realizes that Eli needs to drink other people's blood to live he's faced with a choice. How much can love forgive?...

The film won the Jury Prize at the 2009 Cannes Film Festival.
