The Perfect Vampire Movie: 'Let the Right One In' Is Far Superior to 'Twilight'new
It is a rare movie indeed that comes across as instant horror classic, multilevel preteen wish-fulfillment fantasy and Euro-arty critical darling all at once. Rarer still that such a movie should be coming soon to a theater near you.

'Let the Right One In' is Too Coldnew
Bookended by shots of falling snow, Right One seems to take place in a snow globe, just as still, just as quiet, its compositions just as stiff, with plastic figures arranged in stock situations.
In 'Let the Right One In,' the Suburban Setting is Part of the Scarenew
The juxtaposition of vampire lore and mundane reality is especially powerful in this Swedish import. Set in a dank suburb of Stockholm, it proves once again that horror stories can be even more frightening when exposed to a little daylight.

Tween Swedish Vampires Have Tiny Fangs & Big Feelings in 'Let the Right One In'new
Don't be fooled by the film's gruesome premise. While there is a bloodlust, Let the Right One In is a story of love and finding oneself that evokes About a Boy as frequently as it does Anne Rice.
