Let The Right One In (Swedish Subtitles)


Teaser: This is the story of how a vampire would hide in survive in the modern world. It is also a story about love.

Best Feature: The story is both charming and suspenseful. It is the most innovative approach to the vampire plot line that I have seen. The characters bring you in and you root for them.

Worst Feature: While suspenseful in the sense that you don't know if good things will happen to the characters that you have grown to care about, it is not scary at all.

This is most interesting vampire adaptation I have ever seen. It is the only one, to my knowledge, that actually grapples with the question of how would a vampire hide its identity in the 21st Century. It is also unique in that it makes a charming love story (child love story) out of fairly dark serial killer subplot.

My Ranking: Top 5 Entire Horror Genre
Rotten Tomatoes: 98%
