It was definately better than Twilight. I'll give it that.
But, on its own, it's mediocre and not as great as people think it is. I'm not saying it's bad. It's just not as good, in my opinion, as people claim. -

Tomas Alfredson apresenta um excelente trabalho de direção e narrativa para contar uma tocante história sobre a amizade e a infância.
Critic Reviews
[Director Tomas] Alfredson's style is as elegant and laconic as Twilight is amateurish and campy. full review
Let the Right One In is one of the essential horror films of the decade. It's also one of the most enthralling romances and one of the best films about children. full review
Funny, fear-inducing, with periods of voyeuristic gore and an undercurrent of anxiety and dread, Let the Right One In is up there with the bloodsucking classics. full review
Remove the vampire elements, and this is the story of two lonely and desperate kids capable of performing dark deeds without apparent emotion. full review
[Melds] genres with a haunting poignancy that's mildly undercut by a script that, during its last act, bounces around like a jeep on a dirt road. full review

May 4, 2009Definitely a cult-classic! A fresh new take on the old vampire myth. Bought the movie and going to read the book, a great addition to my vampire movie collection.
