    Let the Right One In

    by mshemingway

    Hands down, the best horror movie I have ever seen. Two amazing twelve year old actors, one plays a sad, lovable vampire character. CG is used just enough to make the gore just that much creepier, but not unbelievable. The Swedish snowy small town setting also adds a perfect, quiet, lonely, eerieness to the film. The other characters are perfectly eccentric and totally David Lynchian. The movie also has a sense of humor, which all great horror films need! I will see this again, and buy it when its on DVD! My friends and I were totally blown away.

    If there is one film you need to see from 2008 it's not the "Dark Knight", it's this movie, "Let the Right One In." This movie rocked my world. I just saw it last night and I am still feeling the effects of this film. The film is a little slow but please, keep watching this movie. It's worth your time and money. This is a story that hasn't been told enough and the characters had such amazing layers that it proves there is hope for cinema lately. The young actor and actress who played Oskar and Eli were incredible. They showed such beauty and heart ache that you wanted to be there in the room with them. And the cinematography... wow! So many great scenes in this film. Just see it.
