Review of Let the Right One In (2008)
Review refers to a copy seen at the dead-centre “sweet spot” of a jam-packed 450-seat theatre ten minutes after I came within an inch of missing the film completely.
A horrific pubertal love story from the book by John Ajvide Lindqvist; yes please. There is some weak acting, mainly by Kåre Hedebrant, and a number of special-effects glitches. Cat attacks never work and I also question the choice of Eli’s money shot, but the mood sticks. A damned good way to do a child vampire.
