Review of Let the Right One In (2008) by Kimberly V — 05 Jan 2014
Long live the vampire genre! After the aweful Twilight franchise started infecting the film industry, it seemed that all hope was lost. Now comes this terrific Swedish take on the genre, which saves the franchise, while adding great soul.
The film focuses on a strong bond that develops between a young boy who is terrorized by bullies and a mysterious girl who is in fact a vampire. The girl entrusts the aid of an adult guardian to find blood that can keep her alive.
The film is incredibly done, while the bleak feel of the Swedish countryside wonderfully adds to the film's plot and setting. Director Tomas Alfredson adds a great story between the two main characters, while both actors have terrific chemistry.
The film is haunting and beautiful, while also proving that the vampire genre is not dead.
