Movie Review: Let the Right One In

Monday, March 23rd, 2009

Swedish vampire movie. Simply it is, but it’s also more than that.

Låt den rätte komma in (as it’s called in its native tongue) is about Oskar, a bullied preteen boy, who falls in love with the girl next door. Eli, the girl next door, happens to be a vampiress.

The coming-of-age story is about curiosity, friendship, loyalty and survival. It’s not your typical vampire movie – don’t expect anything like From Dusk Till Dawn or Interview with the Vampire. It does however still satisfy those fans who want a bit  of splatter.

The kids in this movie all seem to have slightly disturbing tendencies, and I’m talking about the non-vampire ones now.

Apart from some scenes that teeter on child p*rnography, I enjoyed watching this movie.

The moral of the story: Don’t bully – especially don’t bully anyone who’s friends with a vampire.
