Country: Sweden
Genre: Foreign, Horror, Drama
There are so few films that succeed in every area of the audience experience like Let the Right One In. The trailer has a definitely allure being nearly wordless and showing such a compelling journey through the macabre in disturbing and beautiful images. The film delivers exactly what the trailer advertised and even more more in terms of beauty and such a harrowing yet delicate story of Oskar finding his place in life. It’s a film that lingers long after the first viewing. (Though, I must make note that the home distribution of this title is a bit hindered by an awful subtitle translation, and if you ask Magnolia pictures to do something about it, they won’t even consider responding to you.) There are few other films this decade that I could easily point to as a clear definition of what cinema ‘is’. So, it goes without saying, that this is most definitely the best vampire movie ever made. (But if you’re going to watch it, and you should, it’s worth seeking out the proper translation.)
