Speaking of Vampires, Here’s a Quirky Swedish Vampire Movie
Since I was on the subject of Vampire movies in the last post, I couldn’t move on without mentioning one of the most original entries in the genre. Last year’s Swedish import, “Let the Right One In” is a new very original take on the vampire legend. It is all the more moody and atmospheric because of the dark Swedish winter setting. The two protagonists in this film are 12 year old’s, that makes the film slightly disturbing. This is a film that could only be made in Europe. Like I said, I’m a sucker for vampire movies, and this is one of the best of the genre… forget your “Twilight” films and watch this.
Here is the trailer for “Let the Right One In”:
The most disturbing thing I’ve heard lately is that an American remake of this film is in the works. I am not looking forward to it. As one poster on IMDB said ‘there should be a special place in hell for American directors who remake foreign films, that I like’.
