Let the Right One In is a 2008 foreign film made by Tomas Alfredson. I just randomly stumbled upon it and without knowing anything about the film, I was already intrigued by it. I couldn't find a source that had an english dub or subtitles (the film is in swedish). I just decided to hell with it and buy the blu ray. My eyes were glued to the screen while watching this film, and it almost hypnotized me. I did not expect the movie to be a horror/romance, and those genres meld together greatly in this movie. There are times where I'm terrified, and there are times where I feel soft inside. These feelings for me melded in such a unique way in the "pool scene". The film has beautiful cinematography and the shots of the swedish winter looked entrancing. The 2 young leading actors in this film had great performances, especially Lina Leandersson. The screenplay was also masterful because it somehow made the film half romance, half horror, and those genres didn't overtake each other. They were exactly 50/50 in this movie, and it is surprisingly a great mix of genres. The movie is a perfect length, and Tomas Alfredson directed this film with mastery. I wonder what happened to him in 2017 though, *cough cough* The Snowman. Everyone should check out this movie, It really deserves a 10/10

Bullied misfit teenager Oskar (a fine and affecting performance by Karle Hedebrant) befriends new neighbor Eli (a haunting and deeply moving portrayal by Lina Leandersson), who's a pallid and enigmatic young lass who only comes out at night. Could Eli be responsible for a spate of disappearances in the area? Director Tomas Alfredson, working from a thoughtful and original script by John Ajvide Lindqvist, relates the engrossing story at a deliberate pace, ably crafts a potently unsettling gloom-doom atmosphere, makes excellent use of the bleak wintry landscape, and grounds the fantastic premise in a plausibly drab mundane reality. Moreover, Alfredson warrants additional praise for keeping the graphic gore to a refreshing minimum and eschewing cheap jump scares in favor of creating and sustaining a quietly discomfiting melancholy tone instead. Better still, the touching friendship between the two oddball main characters gives this picture a surprisingly substantial amount of poignancy and resonance complete with a strong central message on the basic human need for companionship and the bitter lonely price one must pay for immortality. Kudos are also for both Johan Soderquist's spare moody score and Hoyte Van Hoytema's striking widescreen cinematography. An absolute corker.

A-Z Horror Movie of the Day..."Let the Right One In" (R - 2008 - Sweden)Sub-Genre: Monster/VampireMy Score: 7.9Cast=4 Acting=10 Plot=9 Ending=9 Story=8 Scare=7 Jump=5 F/X=8 Monster=10 Romance=9Oskar, an overlooked and bullied boy, finds love and revenge through Eli, a beautiful but peculiar girl. "I'm twelve. But I've been twelve for a long time." Man I love this movie!! It's a slow burn, but so unique that you can't afford to pass it up if you haven't seen it already. They did an American reboot and you could go with "Let Me In" instead if you hate foreign movies. For me, I don't like to have my drinks watered down with too much American...er...ice in my glass. This brilliant vampire import from Sweden comes highly recommended!!

Tomas Alfredson is a director with different works with his own signature.Oskar, a boy of 12 is being bullied by his friends. He wants to take revenge, but he thinks he is too weak for that. He becomes friends a peculiar girl called Eli. Eli was not a human. She was fed on blood. An old man helps her with that. How far their friendship will go? What difficulties do they face in the world of human beings?Apart from the regular horror movies, this film is a piece of art. Beautifully and carefully visualized. You don't need to watch this movie for horror. But, do not miss it if you are a true film lover.A must watch.#KiduMovie
