Preview: Let the Right One In (2008)

• Poster: C+

Review:

The poster is hardly appealing. While it does a sufficient job explaining the lead of the film, it lacks any visual panache that often accompanies horror films which is both an asset and a detriment.

• Trailer: B

Review:

The concept is new. While we had a child vampire in Interview with the Vampire, that film was ostensibly about adult vampires. This film seems to entirely focus on the plight of young vampires and their relationship with outside forces when they are barely eld enough to understand the concept of fidelity and friendship.

Oscar Prospects:

Horror. Next.

Release Date:

• October 24, 2008

Full Review Synopsis:

An engrossing realism-based twist on the vampire mythos following a young boy as he comes of age with a best friend who he discovers is a vampire.
