Movie Review: Let The Right One In

This is one of the best vampire flicks I've ever seen. Subtle, simple, heart warming (believe it or not) - It plays out more like a fable than a horror movie. A quiet film that you will have to rewind at certain key parts to fully grasp the scene. Oscar and Eli are a unique pair, and their relationship is bizarre and beautiful to say the least, a bit awkward at times, like all childhood relationships I guess. 

I watched this in the dubbed-over english rather than having to endure subtitles - not bad, some of the voice-over work is weird: some characters don't exactly fit the english voices matched to them. I wish there was more expansion on the setting, we don't get to see much of where the action is taking place aside from tight shots of buildings, streets, the school, and wooded areas.

The movie builds up to a shocking climax which, although we see coming from the beginning of the film, will undoubtedly leave you pressing the rewind button again and again.
