Let the Right One In is my 2nd favorite film of the year. Right behind The Dark Knight and ahead of Trick 'R Treat.

The film is starkly beautiful, moving and has moments of amazingly brilliant violence. My writing partner and I were actually approached about the English language translation - so I have a DVD screener:D but we had no interest in the job - the film was too good to be monkeyed with and I'm certain the adaptation will suffer in the translation.

What makes the film so impactful is the way it perfectly captures the sense of upheval inherent in the pubescent mind. The age of the protagonists is everything to the story - they are trapped in the realm between innocence and experience which allows the supernatural to integrate with the natural world with a sense of magic realism.

All I can remember is there was a boy/man whose family left thier home but he stayed behind. He walled in a bathroom in the middle of the home and lived in it. A new family moved in and he is living in that enclosed room w/o the new people knowing. Its an older movie 1980s or older.

Bad Ronald

Scott Jacoby, a nerdy high school youth, accidently kills a neighbor's young daughter. Panicking mother, Kim Hunter, fears the police will not believe that it was an accident. She moves her son into a bathroom that she turned into a secret hiding place. After her death, a new family moves in. In the meantime, Ronald has gotten lost in a fantasy world created in his own head from being hidden away for so long.

The first one, I have no idea about

The second one immediately made me think of Night Of The Comet, but I don't specifically recall a chicken eating scene (that doesn't necessarily mean it isn't there, it's just been a while since I last watched it).

Another movie also entered my head, but I can't remember the name of it...People were turning into zombies (I don't remember why) and a few humans ended up at a small, local radio station...The owner didn't want to let them in because he thought they might be infected...He lets them in, then a man and woman show up...The woman ends up turning and killing her husband and the radio station owner turned into a zombie, too...Also, the teenaged boy saw his mother in the street from the window (radio station was upstairs) and he wanted to try to save her, but she was already a zombie...We watched that one only a few months ago...I'm not sure if it's the same one you're talking about
