Twilight Watch: Let the Right Vampire In
Thompson On Hollywood — True confession. I am into vampires. Raised on Hammer Dracula films starring Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing, when I was nine I dressed up as a Chinese vampire on Halloween. F.W. Murnau's Nosferatu is a fave. I devoured Bram Stoker's novel Dracula, as well as the classic movie starring Bela Lugosi. ("I don't ...

RacsOview: "Let the Right One In"
RacsO Ledger — Quite possibly the best vampire movie ever made. "Let the Right One In" stands out as my favorite movie of the year after I saw it. It was bleak, poignant, mesmerizing, stunning and highly memorable. Beautifully shot, perfectly acted and crisply edited. A coming of age story about mortals and non mortals. Not necessarily breaking grounds on the whole vampire genre, but definitely the best among them. A+

Let the Right One In (2008)
Dave's Blog About Movies and Such — dir. Tomas Alfredson As most of my readers have probably guessed by now, reviewing current movies ain't exactly my bag. It's not that I don't enjoy new movies, I just don't go to the theater that often. When movies stop costing twelve goddamn dollars I'll reconsider my viewing habits.* It's sad for a movie geek like me to admit this, but I probably go to the theater an average of only six times a year. The movie theater experience is unparalleled and seeing as it will probably go the way the way of the dodo bird, I should take advantage while I can; but, as I said earlier, I'm a broke-ass motherfucker who can't afford to spend twelve ...

Let The Right One In DVD Is In Stores Now
Addicted to Films — What a surprise I had when I made my weekly trip to one of the local CD/DVD stores and saw Let the Right One In DVD on their new arrivals shelf. I had been wanting to watch this movie ever since I've heard of it. It had opened in Singapore in mid February. And in fact, last week I had actually deliberated going out to the theaters and see it. But, but...the only thing that stopped me from doing that, is that I am absolutely determined to read the book first before watching the movie. And from what I know, as of now, there is still one lone theater in Singapore that is still showing it. So if you want to see it on the big screens you better hurry. ...
