Review of Let the Right One In (2008)

This movie sits atop almost every best of 2009 horror list out there, and it seems nearly everyone, including me, missed its theatrical run. It's a Swedish coming of age film about loneliness that happens to also be about vampires. Not just a good horror movie, but a great film. Arthouse cinema at its best. Eerie and emotionally charged, it has almost a poetic or lyrical feel to it. And since I'm convinced Swedes are all half-vampires themselves, the whole creature of the night culture couldnt be in better hands. Let the Right One is a great addition to vampire mythology. Definately see it before the American remake comes out.
