Rolling Stone, 11/30/2008, p.136, 3.5 stars out of 4 -- "Stick your neck out for this Swedish horror show. It's a winner, full of mirth and malice....The two young leads are dynamite. And director Tomas Alfredson knows how to pin you to your seat." Los Angeles Times, 10/24/2008, "In this sinister but gorgeous and compelling film by Tomas Alfredson, being human and acting human don't always go together." Box Office, 11/01/2008, p.81, 3 stars out of 5 -- "Swedish director Tomas Alfredson's moody coming-of-age drama, based on the screenplay and novel by John Ajvide Lindqvist, splits the difference between gothic romance and schoolyard angst..." Hollywood Reporter, 10/23/2008, "LET THE RIGHT ONE IN is atypically literate and unexpectedly affecting suspense fare. Complex characters, ominous situations fraught with mortality and the recklessness of youthful ardor create a tense and subtly shaded narrative." Entertainment Weekly, 03/13/2009, "Tomas Alfredson's import is like a Scandinavian TWILIGHT minus the teen-steam schmaltz, packing in great gooey scares..." -- Grade: A- Distributor Notenew friendship develops when Eli – a pale, serious young girl who only comes out at night - moves in next door to lonely, 12-year-old Oskar. Coinciding with her arrival is a series of inexplicable disappearances and murders. Eli must continue to relocate in order to stay alive, but when Oskar faces his darkest hour, she returns to defend him the only way she can… Release NoteDVD Features: Product NotesA well-crafted horror film in the tradition of Guillermo del Toro's THE DEVIL'S BACKBONE, Swedish import LET THE RIGHT ONE IN ably blends genre chills with genuine feeling. Oskar (Kåre Hedebrant) is a 12-year-old outcast who is frequently picked on by his classmates. He dreams of getting his revenge, but he never stands up to the boys. With the arrival of his new next-door neighbor, 12-year-old Eli (Lina Leandersson), Oskar may finally have found a friend, ally, and first love. But Eli is no ordinary girl: she must keep her pale skin out of the sunlight, she can perform inhuman physical feats, and she has thirst for blood. The bodies begin to pile up, but Oskar can't stay away from the girl who has finally given him courage.

Some of you may be wondering if those who are complaining about the bad
subtitles are exaggerating. They are not!
I am listening to the English
language 5.1 audio and just discovered theyre reading the original "good"
theatrical subtitles. They make many scenes much more sensible.
If you want
to experience complete frustration, play the English 5.1 audio with the English
subtitles on. You will understand why there is so much anger. The bad subtitles
really do change and/or ruin some scenes.
Unfortunately, some of the English
language voice work does not do the justice, so listening to the Swedish and
reading the original subs would be ideal. But you cant!!!
What a shame! This
is the sweetest yet most haunting film Ive seen in years. I dont want to admit
how many times Ive watched it the past eight days.
But... this is a very
quiet, slow movie. If you expect a lot of screaming and bloody fangs, youre in
the wrong place.
This is basically a love story... with moments of real
horror and dread. Plus some understated but eerie special effects. Theyre not
flashy, just effective. This movie makes you believe there might actually be
vampires lurking about.
Speaking of love: thats what I feel for this.
Love
the movie hate the subtitles debacle. Again: If you want to hear the theatrical
subtitles being read, listen to the English language 5.1 audio. (I am using the
5.1 English audio. I cant vouch for 2.0. They may have botched that.)
Im
hoping this situation wont lead to a Catch-22: Theyll release DVDs with the
original subtitles AFTER the pressing with the "bad" subtitles is sold out. But
few people want the bad subtitles! Are we going to be stuck with the
incomprehensible English subs? Stay tuned horror/romance fans...
Oh... make
sure you watch until the closing credits start or you may miss an important last
scene.
Enjoy. This is a real gem. I wonder if this is the type of movie that
inspires people to make movies?
I love the understatement of this movie. No
screaming and running around. A gentle, sympathetic vampire movie? Thats what
this is.
I cant stop thinking this is the type of movie that inspires others
to make movies but Im afraid the American remake will be much louder and
bloodier.
Is this a minor masterpiece? Even the very effective special
effects are subtle but eerie. They dont have to pound you over the head,
Hollywood!
How can they improve on the girl walking barefoot in the snow or
her stomach growling (slightly) when she smells blood? The silent but unsettling
way she climbs trees and buildings?
Im afraid Hollywood will have her snarl,
growl, and moan loudly when the boy slits his palm.
Hopefully, theyll prove
me wrong but dont bet the rent on it.
This makes most other bloodsucker
flicks seem lurid and grotesque.
