Lets start this review off by saying, if you have yet to watch this movie, remedy that! Watch it. It's awesome. I watched this movie with absolutely NO idea what it was about, purely after hearing wow after wow from horror fans. It really is the best way to see it, so if you haven't, I urge you not to read any more of this review.
So, you're still here? Ok then, you want to know a little more. 'Let The Right One In' is a Swedish language movie by Tomas Alfredson. It is based on the novel of the same name by John Ajvide Lindqvist. There are of course subtitles available. I know this puts a lot of people off, but it really shouldn't. There are some fantastic foreign language movies out there that bring something completely unique to the table. 'Let The Right One In' is most definately in that bracket.
I'll start by saying this movie is a story of friendship, triumph over adversity and love. Adding that it is a vampire movie may make this difficult to imagine. So to a premise.
The movie follows 2 individuals - shy, reclusive 12 year old Oskar and a very odd, pale young girl called Eli, also 12, who has just moved in beside him and his mum. Oskar is different. Because of this he is very badly bullied at school. I concluded his general peculiarity and anger are what cause his fascination with murders, blood and knives.
