Do you like the concept of Twilight but hate the fact that it sucks? Well then Swedish coming-of-age-with-vampires tale, Let the Right One In is perfect for you. Superb cinematography turns the wintry Stockholm suburb into a cold, eerie and isolated place. Not your typical atmosphere for a story of young love but then again this isn't a typical film. Frightening in a psychological way, the violence and gore remains reserved until one last outburst at the climax of the film. With an excellent cast and overall engrossing story, it's easy to forgive a few flaws and hicoughs here and there. Intelligent and artsy, the slow-burn pace of the film may put off the MTV generation, but if you let it, this film becomes increasingly enveloping with each passing shot and victim.
