Let the Right One In
Directed by Tomas Alfredson
When Oskar, a sensitive, bullied 12-year-old boy, meets his new neighbor, the mysterious and moody Eli, they strike up a friendship. Initially reserved with each other, Oskar and Eli slowly form a close bond, but it soon becomes apparent that she is no ordinary young girl. From TMDB

neutral · AI labelView post →Sinners has got me thinking, what is my favourite vampire film of all time and it's a pretty tricky question. Sinners is up there, Let The Right One In, A Girl Walks Home Alone At Night, The Reflecting Skin, The Hunger, Vampire's Kiss I'd say I'd be picking from those as my favourite.

positive · AI labelView post →A thing I really love about the movie Let The Right One In is it’s a total deconstruction of the nerdy child as an innocent martyr. Instead, he lets the abuse and vengeful fantasies make him an even more embittered and violent monster to the point of giving in to homicidal frenzy.
positive · AI labelView post →starting my "weird vampire october sunday" marathon today, starting with Only Lovers Left Alive. gonna double up next sunday with A Girl Walks Home Alone At Night and then the movie version of What We Do In The Shadows. then probably end with Let The Right One In (either version) what am i missing?

Day #160 "Let the Right One In" (Tomas Alfredson/2008) One of the most original and unique vampire stories I'd seen in a long time. This is an excellent film, to hell with the American remake. Worth your time to check it out!

Adapted to film in Swedish (2008) and American (2010) The story centers on the relationship between a young boy boy, and a centuries-old vampire child. The US version differed from the book.

Eli and Oskar's friendship resonates so powerfully and both characters are not only given so much room to breathe but the movie allows them to just be kids. I love it.

neutral · AI labelView post →Last night I watched The Innocents (Norway, 2021). It sits somewhere between The Midwich Cuckoos and Let The Right One In but that doesn't mean it's in any way derivative or predictable. The child acting is superb and it's the most uncomfortable and unsettling horror film I've seen in quite a while.
