Wow – now here’s a freaky-lookin little spookfest: LET THE RIGHT ONE IN (dig that title)… Horror movies that deal with the traumas of childhood are always intriguing, and seem to get under the skin a little more than your average gorefest (if they’re well done, of course). This one appears to hit some intense notes.
LET THE RIGHT ONE IN is a Swedish vampire film from director Tomas Alfredson. Here’s the deal: Terrorized by bullies, lonely 12-year-old Oskar befriends a new neighbor, a mysterious young girl whose arrival coincides with a series of gruesome deaths and attacks. Though Oskar realizes that she’s a vampire, his friendship with her is stronger than his fear.
Go HERE to check out the trailer (which is certainly worth a look), stills, and another poster. The film currently has no U.S. release date. Here’s hoping that changes soon… (You can’t see it, but I’m lifting my drink in a saluting-gesture now.)
