Let the Right One In

I recently had the pleasure of seeing Swedish vampire flick Let the Right One In. Hauntingly beautiful, creepy, heart wrenching and at times funny. This is everything Twilight is not.


"A fragile, anxious boy, 12-year-old Oskar is regularly bullied by his stronger classmates but never strikes back. The lonely boys wish for a friend seems to comes true when he meets Eli, also 12, who moves in next door to him. But Elis arrival coincides with a series of gruesome deaths and attacks. Though Oskar realizes that she's a vampire, his friendship with her is stronger than his fear... "

I was hesitant to see this film at first as I *hate* scary films. I saw The Ring and didn't sleep properly for weeks, terrified a creepy girl would get me in the night! However the amazing reviews I had been reading compelled me to go.

Let the Right One In doesn't resort to cheap scares like its American counterparts. While there are definitely creepy and suspenseful parts that had me hiding behind my boyfriend, it is well done and appropriate.

In Sydney it is currently showing only at the Palace Cinemas.
