A new friendship develops when Eli - a pale, serious young girl who only comes out at night - moves in next door to lonely, 12-year-old Oskar. Coinciding with her arrival is a series of inexplicable disappearances and murders. Eli must continue to relocate in order to stay alive, but when Oskar faces his darkest hour, she returns to defend him the only way she can... A well-crafted horror film in the tradition of Guillermo del Toro's THE DEVIL'S BACKBONE, Swedish import LET THE RIGHT ONE IN ably blends genre chills with genuine feeling. Oskar (Kåre Hedebrant) is a 12-year-old outcast who is frequently picked on by his classmates. He dreams of getting his revenge, but he never stands up to the boys. With the arrival of his new next-door neighbor, 12-year-old Eli (Lina Leandersson), Oskar may finally have found a friend, ally, and first love. But Eli is no ordinary girl: she must keep her pale skin out of the sunlight, she can perform inhuman physical feats, and she has thirst for blood. The bodies begin to pile up, but Oskar can't stay away from the girl who has finally given him courage.
Based on the novel by John Ajvide Linqvist (who also wrote the script), LET THE RIGHT ONE IN is the best kind of horror film: one that transcends the tropes of the genre to become something new. This is director Tomas Alfredson's first foray into horror, and he doesn't hesitate to include bits of vampire mythology. But his background making comedies and dramas gives the film a surprising depth; the relationship between Oskar and Eli is tentative and sweet, even though their interactions may be surrounded by blood and violence. Composer Johan Soderqvist and the sound department create a fascinating palette of music and sounds that add to the film's perfectly chilly mood, and setting the film in a snowy Swedish suburb gives director of photography Hoyte Van Hoytema a starkly beautiful environment for shooting. Though LET THE RIGHT ONE IN is ostensibly about a pair of children, this is a horror film for adults. There are plenty of scares, but it remains moving and intelligent, a rare feat for the genre.
Let The Right One In Reviews: 3 stars out of 5 -- "Swedish director Tomas Alfredson's moody coming-of-age drama, based on the screenplay and novel by John Ajvide Lindqvist, splits the difference between gothic romance and schoolyard angst..."-- Amy Nicholson, Box Office "Tomas Alfredson's import is like a Scandinavian TWILIGHT minus the teen-steam schmaltz, packing in great gooey scares..." -- Grade: A--- Chris Nashawaty, Entertainment Weekly "LET THE RIGHT ONE IN is atypically literate and unexpectedly affecting suspense fare. Complex characters, ominous situations fraught with mortality and the recklessness of youthful ardor create a tense and subtly shaded narrative."Hollywood Reporter "In this sinister but gorgeous and compelling film by Tomas Alfredson, being human and acting human don't always go together."-- Carina Chocano, Los Angeles Times "[A] spectrally beautiful Swedish vampire movie....The film's cool is largely expressed in visual terms, in the enveloping snow, the wintry light and the cinematographer Hoyte van Hoytema's meticulously and steadily framed compositions."-- Manohla Dargis, New York Times 3.5 stars out of 4 -- "Stick your neck out for this Swedish horror show. It's a winner, full of mirth and malice....The two young leads are dynamite. And director Tomas Alfredson knows how to pin you to your seat."-- Peter Travers, Rolling Stone Let The Right One In | List Price | $14.98 (You save $4.89) | | Studio | Magnolia Home Entertainment | | Orig Year | 2008 | | All Time Sales Rank |  12378  | | CD Universe Part number | 7769457 | | Catalog number | 10173 | | Discs | 1 | | Release Date | Mar 10, 2009 | | Rating | R (MPAA) | | Rating Reason | for some bloody violence including disturbing images, brief nudity and language | | Running Time | 114 Minutes | | Additional Info | Widescreen; Dubbed; Subtitled | | Movie Details | Color; Widescreen; Dubbed; Subtitled |
Let The Right One In Video Let The Right One In Movie Review Average Rating: (3.5 out of 5 stars)   PRETTY GOOD
NOT A BAD LITTLE VAMPIRE MOVIE. IT SEEMS A LITTLE SLOW TO START WITH BUT DRAWS YOU IN A LITTLE MORE AT EACH PASSING SCENE. I THINK THE ENDING WAS PRETTY COOL TOO AND KIND OF UNFORGETTABLE AS WELL. VERY BRUTAL.IF YOU ARE A FAN OF VAMPIRE MOVIES THEN YOU HAVE TO GIVE THIS LITTLE MOVIE A ONE TIME VIEWING.

 Subtitle change?!
I love this movie, but the dumbing down of the english subtitles in the DVD version is appaling. Did you think the people who love this film were too stupid to notice or were you just too lazy to get it right. No, you couldn't have been too lazy because then you could have just left the old subtitles that were already written. I just don't get it. Do not buy this DVD.

 AVOID THIS DISC!
This is a fabulous movie, but this DVD is the dreadful American overdubbed version only - the original soundtrack is missing - Avoid like the plague.

$10.05
Part of the onslaught of grim, new millennium French horror films including HIGH TENSION (2003), THEM (2006) and INSIDE (2007), FRONTIER(S) is a punishing TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE-inspired tale intended for viewers who like an extra side of gore with their scares. Initially intended to be released as part of the 2007 Afterdark Horrorfest, FRONTIERE(S) was dropped after being refused an R-rating by the MPAA due to extreme violence. Xavier Gens's uncompromising vision of backwoods brutality is definitely painted with several shades of crimson. Amidst 2002 elections that see a conservative regime taking control of France, riots rage in Paris. A gang of young thieves sees the tumult as a good chance to pull off a heist, but one of their own is fatally wounded in a scuffle with a police officer. The four remaining members of the group pair off and retreat to a remote country hotel, run by a family of cannibal neo-Nazis led by uniformed patriarch Le Von Geisler (Jean-Pierre Jorris). Separated from her fellow thieves, lone female gang member Yasmine (Karina Testa) finds herself alone in the fight against the sinister family--who want her unborn baby to help reverse the effects ...

$21.15
The first film based on a book by postmodern transgressor Bret Easton Ellis to also count the author’s name among its screenwriting credits, THE INFORMERS is lit with a cold, cologne-commercial sheen not unlike the one that charged AMERICAN PSYCHO (2000) with a sensation of sharp disconnect. But rather than an absurdist satire (an approach that director Gregor Jordan rejected by excising the original script’s vampire subplot and oddly lighthearted tone), this sprawlingly dreamlike ...
