Review of Let the Right One In (2008) by Stephen E — 24 Jun 2013
"Let the Right One In" comes as a surprise to me because I detest films focused on vampirism. Works like "Twilight," "The Hunger" and HBO's "True Blood" are so bogged down by melodrama and tired clichés that it's refreshing to see the genre done some good.
Tomas Alfredson seems like he was the perfect choice as director and the whole thing looks very sleek and stylish. As well, the performance from Kare Hedebrant as Oskar makes for an incredibly sympathetic character.
"Let the Right One In" is startling and violent and scary, but most of all, original.
