Calling to mind the work of Anne Rice and Stephen King, atmospheric adaptation of Swedish author John Ajvide Lindqvist's bestseller is well directed by his countryman Tomas Alfredson.
An American remake seems inevitable, but it will be hard to re-create the haunting spell cast by this wonderfully strange film about being young and going steady with a monster.
John Ajvide Lindqvist's script (from his novel) nails adolescent pain perfectly and is realized by Tomas Alfredson's expert direction.
A really nice little movie.
This is a really good movie.
[Director Tomas] Alfredson's style is as elegant and laconic as Twilight is amateurish and campy.
One of the best foreign language films of the year
Let the Right One In is a shot in the arm for the anaemic vampire movie genre, a thrilling transfusion of fresh blood.
Swedish vampire tale is much grislier than Twilight.
As singular as any vampire film.
Beautifully shot, moving yet unsentimental, restrained in tone and consummately performed, Let The Right One In is a horror film of near universal appeal, and already has the feel of a classic about it.
The film is a bevy of contradictions - beauty and horror, young love and violence, innocence and guilt. The fact that it works at all is impressive. The fact that it's a mind-blowing sensory experience is inexplicable.
Let the Right One In is a slow burning film with an engulfing atmosphere that leaves you feeling moved and mesmerised long after the credits have finished.
Lovelier than most bloodsucker flicks, but it doesn't quite transcend its well-chewed genre.
A remarkable vampire film, as raw and frightening as it is tender and intelligent.
Una película fascinante, bellísima en su formulación visual y sonora, y narrada con sorprendente precisión. Más una historia de amor y amistad entre dos seres solitarios que una película de vampiros, definitivamente no recomendable para quienes busquen al
For every moment of bloodshed [and] special effects ... there are subtleties and surprises that transcend this exhausted genre.
Svim horor-fanovima koji ne podnose Sumrak ovaj film %u0107e do%u0107i kao melem na ljutu ranu
Acaba funcionando também como uma contundente alegoria sobre a imprevisibilidade da natureza humana, que traz, em sua imensa diversidade, monstros infinitamente piores do que aqueles com longos caninos.
this is a moody, original take on the vampire film. ... Anyone interested in vampire films or relationship films will enjoy this fantastic picture
If Twilight is the Vampire film for starry-eyed teenage girls, Let the Right One In is the Vampire film for everyone else.
Anyone who's ever felt marginalised will find their heart captured by this subtle, touching, highly original take on vampire mythology.
The body count piles up, but it's the way a boy named Oskar is treated that may get your blood boiling.
