Let the Right One In review
Daniel Corleone - wrote on 11/12/12
Oskar (Kåre Hedebrant) is a 12 year old who gets bullied most of the time at school. He meets a strange girl named Eli (Lina Leandersson). Mysterious murders occur in their town while the pair of youngsters bond. Soundtrack was almost unnecessary to bring out the needed chilling effect brought by the subtle direction. Performances were sincere to keep you connected with the characters which makes you feel apart of their estranged relationship. The style of direction was spectacular for its genre. It's pace was questionable though doesn't ruin the picture completely as to make the cinematography picturesque. Le the Right One is definitely better than its remake and eons ahead from other vampire related flicks because of its subjects of acceptance, bullying and love.
