Matthew Spence’s Edinburgh Film Reviews

Directed by: Tomas Alfredsson

This is more of a drama film until the immersion of the vampire. Let the Right One In centers around Oskar, a young schoolboy. Oskar constantly harassed by the school bullies, begins to develop a friendship with Eli when they meet in the apartment courtyard. This film adds a twist of horror, when revealing the existence of a vampire that begins to kill the townspeople.

Let the Right One In was a great film in my opinion. My reasons for enjoying this film were how well they kept the aspects of a vampire in place. They kept the weakness of sunlight, the age staying a constant, and the weakened state when they haven’t eaten. I even learned a new fact about vampires, they cannot enter your home unless they are invited in. I always love to learn new facts, especially about the things I love.

Trees: 3.5/5
