Smart, subtle, human. Not for dummies.   2010-09-01
By Uncle Joe (USA)
Might be the most intelligent and "real-world" vampire movie ever made. The other reviews are right--watch it with the "English-theatrical" subtitles. It feels Swedish. The style and pacing are different than most American movies, so take it on its own terms and enjoy the difference. Hollywood is of course busy re-doing it, and may give us either an abomination or something decent, but I doubt it will come anywhere close to the original. I think this movie is just about perfect. Unlike some of the other translated versions, the English title has the same meaning as the original Swedish one, and you can think about that title from the perspective of either Eli or Oskar. It's a horror movie, a character study, a friendship and coming-of-age movie. It's about innocence, freedom, wisdom, cynicism, redemption, and prices to be paid. Oh, and it's a hell of a love story, too. Loved it.
Interesting But Overblown Hype   2010-08-31
By Woodie
When I received this, there was this bold statement on the cover: "Best. Vampire. Movie. Ever". This movie did not live up to this glowing statement. The acting was particularly weak, the English was dubbed, and very droll, as most dubbed English is, and dramatic highlights from the book were left out. The story was fantastic. The movie deadened the characters. For me. For example, there was supposed to be a romantic affection developed between the two leads, but that never really happened. This was a huge disappointment to me. The "Interview with a Vampire" was infinitely better than this. Honestly. But it might be worth your while just to see the very interesting story. The hype is overblown though so keep that in mind.
An amazing achievement - flawless.   2010-08-18
By E. Beckstrom (Indiana, USA)
I agree with the five star reviews - one of the best horror fantasies of the last three decades, no exaggeration. Let the Right One In is also one of the very few exceptional vampire movies, and the only one I have seen which truly moved me. Depending upon your interpretation of the vampire character and her motives, the film could be viewed as a quietly sweet love story (though also secret and dark), but don't let that throw you if you ordinarily don't like such flicks - it is also most definitely a horror movie. The title of the film speaks to the classic vampire lore at the heart of the plot - vampires can't enter your abode unless invited - but also underscores the poignant emotional themes of the film - the risk of pain and loss which are always associated with letting people into our lives and our hearts. At the same time, I see the title as reflecting the ambiguity of the characters, which upon reflection are more complex and open to interpretation than one might at first think. It is something of a cinematic miracle that Tomas Alfredson and writer John Ajvide Lindqvist (who adapted his own novel for the film) manage to weave together sweet romanticism with all out horror in a way which compliments both moods, while also leaving the characters open to interpretation in a manner which does not frustrate, but rather enriches the experience. Let the Right One In is an amazing achievement which any fan of horror fantasy, vampire lore, complex character studies, or indeed romantic films will not want to miss.
Incredibly Well Done Movie!   2010-08-14
By Ca1492
This is by far one of the best Vampire movies I have seen in a long time. The story just sucks you in, very well written and directed. Some movies of this genre almost "rely" on great CGI or super fight scenes to help make them work and there is nothing wrong with that, but this movie certainly does not have to "rely" on those elements to help make it work. Now that being said this movie has some great special effects work but it doesn't need special effects as a crutch to help make it better. It doesn't need to, the story is written incredibly well. One of the things I love about this movie is the simplicity in which it was filmed. The acting by Kare Hedebrant and Lina Leandersson is incredible, especially for their age at the time of filming. The movie has some just downright brutal scenes and at the same time you still feel such empathy for both characters. All I can say is WOW! This is a great movie!
