Review of Let the Right One In (2008) by Dcraft — 20 Jun 2009
A vampire film with as much heart as gore. No patent leather, slick-fashion-wear, or uber-cool characters turn this into a puberty-struck superhero fantasy. The casting and acting is superb. There is a real sense of intimacy and empathy for the young characters.
Occasional, but awesome special effects add little shocks in this minimalist treatment. The director's use of mise-in-scene is all the more artistic when coupled with the stark scenery. This is the best vampire film I've seen.
Due to language patterns, hearing the original Swedish with English subtitles sounds more emotive than the dubbing.
