Has anyone seen this movie? - Blu-ray Forum

"Let the Right One In"

It was on 4 different top 10 list for 2008 and has a mid-90's rating on rotten tomatoes.

From a CNN reviewer: Preteen vampires. This is what "Twilight" would be if it were five times better, Swedish and told from the point of view of a lonely 12-year-old boy.

I haven't seen it personally but my brother has and he was raving about it. We need a GOOD vampire movie these days.

This is a description from Netflix.

Twelve-year-old Oskar (Kåre Hedebrant), the constant target of bullies, spends his time plotting revenge and collecting news items about the grisly murders plaguing his town. Things change for Oskar when he meets new girl Eli (Lina Leandersson), a misfit vampire who steals his heart. As a serial killer continues to prey on teen boys in the small village outside Stockholm, Sweden, Eli helps Oskar find the courage to stand up to his tormenters.

It is a fantastic film, 3rd favorite of the year so far.

quexos · 12-31-2008, 10:23 PM

Is that a Norwegian film ? Cause I checked IMDB and the only movie that comes is a Norwegian one.

johnarnold101 · 12-31-2008, 10:34 PM

I do believe so. The author of the book is Swedish.

Blu As Hell · 12-31-2008, 10:49 PM

According to our friends at The Digital Bits, it will be released on Blu-ray on 3/10!

I's a fantastic film but don't let the hype drive up your expectations. It left me thinking about it now for a week after seeing it.

johnarnold101 · 01-01-2009, 12:54 AM

I'm about to turn in my man card, the women I work with told me I couldn't make fun of the Twilight book series until I read it. I read it and I'm making fun of it anyway even though the last book was pretty good. I'm reading the Sookie series (HBO series) now...women at work again, I like it better.

When I read the review for this movie and told them the reviewers like it better then twilight they scoffed at that.....yes, I said scoffed.

I'm going to buy the book for this movie and make them read it.

Thanks for the information from those who have or know someone who has seen it. I got a PM saying it is "The Dark Knight" meets "Twilight". Does that sound right to those who have seen it?

Red Hood · 01-01-2009, 12:56 AM

Already got it preordered, blind buy for me.

Crim122 · 01-01-2009, 12:59 AM

Its a very dark movie though, almost to the point of being depressing lol.

I wouldn't call it Twilight Meets TDK.

I think its more like

[Show spoiler]

meets an adult version of Twilight(minus werewolves and clans and crap) still with kids but younger and way way better.Toss in a dash of Fright Night as well and even a little Karate Kid.

johnarnold101 · 01-01-2009, 01:06 AM

Glad I could find something that the majority hasn't seen. I'm looking forward to the book.

I'm just waiting for that Blu! I've heard great things.

assydingo · 01-01-2009, 01:25 AM

It looks like Little Manhattan meets Twilight. Which is something I want to see but can wait for the Blu.

Crim122 · 01-01-2009, 01:31 AM

Guys its nothing like Twilight at all, the girl in Let The Right One In would eat everyone in Twilight...and I mean the fact that those little kids out acted the whole cast of Twilight was cool too.

johnarnold101 · 01-01-2009, 01:34 AM

Sweet!

erowe83 · 01-01-2009, 01:51 AM
