Quickie: Let the Right One In
Let the Right One In (2008)–****
Quickie Review
A 12-year-old boy is bullied at school, but finds a friend in a vampire girl who looks his age. A puncture wound of a film, this Swedish vampire picture is so small and so simple you hardly know how deep it goes until the infection sets in. The film has more in common with dark indie dramas than other horror movies, but it burrows inside your mind like the best of the genre. Watch for Lina Leandersson’s amazing debut performance as the young vampire whose childlike glances morph into the determined looks of an aged soul with serious agenda. Directed by Tomas Alfredson and starring Kåre Hedebrant as the boy.
