Leave your thoughts about Let the Right One In.
| QuickflixSimon MiraudoThe film is a bevy of contradictions - beauty and horror, young love and violence, innocence and guilt. The fact that it works at all is impressive. The fact that it's a mind-blowing sensory experience is inexplicable. |
| NPRMark JenkinsLovelier than most bloodsucker flicks, but it doesn't quite transcend its well-chewed genre. |
| MoviedexAnders WotzkeIf Twilight is the Vampire film for starry-eyed teenage girls, Let the Right One In is the Vampire film for everyone else. |
| SFX MagazineIan BerrimanAnyone who's ever felt marginalised will find their heart captured by this subtle, touching, highly original take on vampire mythology. |
| Movie HabitMarty MapesExcellent storytelling and a handful of very good shots add up to one of the year's best |
| Sky CinemaRob DanielAs layered as its title (lifted from the Morrissey song, Let The Right One Slip In), this is the most original vampire movie since Guillermo del Toro's Cronos, and is likely to hit every top ten films list of the year. |
| Observer (UK)Philip FrenchIt's a major addition to the vampire genre. |
| Daily Mirror (UK)David EdwardsThe fact that it doesn't feel like a vampire flick at all makes it one of the best of its kind. |
| Daily Express (UK)Allan HunterBeautifully crafted and expertly acted, Let The Right One In eschews the easy options of excessive gore and cheap laughs to create a haunting, emotionally involving journey into the macabre. It can only become a classic of the genre. |
| FHM [UK]Charlotte SmithA beautiful, brutal yet understated film. |
