One of my all time favorites.
Memorable, crazy movie
Good story, Not enough for a whole film
Fresh and Exciting
Watched this movie about 9-10 years ago and i liked it. it is different, it does not need a lot of action because that's not the point of the story and should not be an important part of this movie. when there is action it's because the situation leads to it, it's not free and there just to give you cool things to watch, it's there to make the story prove it's point and bring you to the level that what being with that girl is. it shows you what she is and how being around her is a amazingly huge thing and heavy with consequences. the US version has some good situation but again it's not telling a story but more showing action and focusing on that Chloë Grace Moretz, i can't stand her anymore. the US version has more likes than this version but if you've watched this version you probably think it's better like me. most people don't know the US version is actually a "remake" or a second go at the story in the book but the swedish did it better.
Bullied misfit teenager Oskar (a fine and affecting performance by Karle Hedebrant) befriends new neighbor Eli (a haunting and deeply moving portrayal by Lina Leandersson), who's a pallid and enigmatic young lass who only comes out at night. Could Eli be responsible for a spate of disappearances in the area? Director Tomas Alfredson, working from a thoughtful and original script by John Ajvide Lindqvist, relates the engrossing story at a deliberate pace, ably crafts a potently unsettling gloom-doom atmosphere, makes excellent use of the bleak wintry landscape, and grounds the fantastic premise in a plausibly drab mundane reality. Moreover, Alfredson warrants additional praise for keeping the graphic gore to a refreshing minimum and eschewing cheap jump scares in favor of creating and sustaining a quietly discomfiting melancholy tone instead. Better still, the touching friendship between the two oddball main characters gives this picture a surprisingly substantial amount of poignancy and resonance complete with a strong central message on the basic human need for companionship and the bitter lonely price one must pay for immortality. Kudos are also for both Johan Soderquist's spare moody score and Hoyte Van Hoytema's striking widescreen cinematography. An absolute corker.
IMO it was way too short for how good it was...i don't watch romance almost at all but i like vampire movies, so i didn't expect this(didn't know what the movie was about before watching it, thought it was some kind of horror); even though it was romance it was just too good, so i very much recommend this one if you're searching for some drama/romance that has a little bit of ,,horror" lets say.
A-Z Horror Movie of the Day..."Let the Right One In" (R - 2008 - Sweden)Sub-Genre: Monster/VampireMy Score: 7.9Cast=4 Acting=10 Plot=9 Ending=9 Story=8 Scare=7 Jump=5 F/X=8 Monster=10 Romance=9Oskar, an overlooked and bullied boy, finds love and revenge through Eli, a beautiful but peculiar girl. "I'm twelve. But I've been twelve for a long time." Man I love this movie!! It's a slow burn, but so unique that you can't afford to pass it up if you haven't seen it already. They did an American reboot and you could go with "Let Me In" instead if you hate foreign movies. For me, I don't like to have my drinks watered down with too much American...er...ice in my glass. This brilliant vampire import from Sweden comes highly recommended!!
