Let the Right One In (movie review)


"Are you really twelve?"
"Yes. It's just I've been twelve for a very long time."

I remember watching the trailer for this movie and thinking to myself that it might be a fairly interesting movie to watch. Then it came out, getting remarkable amazing reviews, currently as of now rottentomatoes.com scores it at 97%. So of course i had to watch it, and so i sat down and watched it over the instant player on my netflix. Annnnndddddddd....!!!!!!!!!! It was good... not amazing, didn't blow me over as phenomanal but just decent. It wasn't that scary, sure there was some pretty unique scaring scenes and some of the situations are pretty intense but nothing really jumped at you. But from the start, this movie wasn't really made to scare you, but to introduce a young boy who gets bullied alot at school and becomes friends with the new girl next door (who is a vampire). Thats pretty much it...... in a very short and abrupt summary, people get killed, and highschool testosterone flows rappidly. Sure the directing was very different which did add to the "scaryness" of it, but i felt some parts kind of dragg... but overall it was a decent watch, watch it with your girlfriend (or boyfriend) at night and you'll get some scares, just don't expect to want to go purchase it.
