Watched this movie about 9-10 years ago and i liked it. it is different, it does not need a lot of action because that's not the point of the story and should not be an important part of this movie. when there is action it's because the situation leads to it, it's not free and there just to give you cool things to watch, it's there to make the story prove it's point and bring you to the level that what being with that girl is. it shows you what she is and how being around her is a amazingly huge thing and heavy with consequences. the US version has some good situation but again it's not telling a story but more showing action and focusing on that Chloë Grace Moretz, i can't stand her anymore. the US version has more likes than this version but if you've watched this version you probably think it's better like me. most people don't know the US version is actually a "remake" or a second go at the story in the book but the swedish did it better.

One of the most haunting films I have ever seen. I still remember the fist time I saw this. Went in knowing nothing about it and at the end I was in a daze and speechless. I laid awake in bed all night thinking about it. This is a damn near perfect horror movie. Beautiful setting, wonderful acting, brilliant story, bloody carnage.

It was a very different kind of vampire movie or should I say that its a different kind of love story. Well its just something new and fresh, something that will stick to your head and make you believe that even today, love story of a vampire can be just so beautifully told. Unlike some other sparkly vampire movie filled with stupid ideas. Pacing might feel like a little bit off at times but its a necessity in this movie so no problem there. If you want a different type of vampire movie experience, go for it.

Sometimes you may wonder if every different version of those infamous blood-suckers hasn't already been done to death. The big screen has had every incarnation from a planet run by vampires (Daybreakers) to vampires that came from space (Lifeforce) and twinkling vampires (that franchise that cannot be named). So, here we have a Swedish offering based on the book of the same name – 'Let the Right One in.' It's set in the eighties if you're wondering where the 'bad' haircuts came from and we're introduced to a young lad who is being bullied at school (Oskar). Now, rather than tell a responsible adult about his troubles, he enlists the help of the 'new kid on the block' (Eli). And, it just so happens that the little girl who has moved into the flat next door is full of secrets – mainly associated with the blood-thirsty deaths that have been happening in the community ever since the girl moved into the neighbourhood.I can't compare the big screen adaptation to the book as I haven't read it, but it certainly is an 'earthy' take on vampires. By that I mean that if you can suspend your disbelief to appreciate immortal bloodsuckers living among us, then you will be able to believe that this is probably how it would go.It's a pretty bleak film, not just in content (killer-child vampires are hardly happy-go-lucky types), but also in look and feel. The snowy setting is quiet and eerie and also used to perfection to create a look and feel for the film. There's plenty of great shots that are brilliantly-framed and even have a slight 'Kubrick-feel' to them (my opinion, anyway).'Let the Right One in' won't be for everyone. It's hardly fast-paced and you'll have to put up with the subtitles (those foreign films, eh?). Plus there is a decent amount of gore and red stuff flying here and there. I noticed a couple of slightly cheap-looking CGI effects in there, but I'm guessing the film didn't have the budget to do any better and I can forgive those on account of the overall story and feel.There is an American remake out there and it's not that bad either, however it's so similar that if you like the sound of this sort of deep, slow, arty vampire tale then you might as well just watch the original.
