Last night I watched “Let The Right One In “, which is one of the best films I’ve seen for a long time, in any genre. I won’t spoil it for you, but it’s based on an unlikely love story between a shy, bullied twelve year old boy and a vampire girl who moves in next door to him.
It’s set in a snow-covered Sweden, in Swedish, with beautiful photography, characters you grow to care about, and a surreal mix of coming-of-age love story and animal-like vampirism.
All in all, I’d say it’s a contender for the best vampire film I’ve ever seen, and it’s up there with Ringu in the ‘beautiful horror’ category.
