  1. #Iwatched the 2008 Swedish #vampire film #LetTheRightOneIn whose 2h runtime is mostly due to its glacial opening. It picks up when a sweet relationship develops between bullied 12yo Oscar and the vampire girl Eli. The film lives of the natural skills of the two child actors and excellent sound effects. The story however has either been cut down too much from the book or not enough, leaving us with weird remnants like a view of her sutured crotch, her nondescript father and an inept happy end.

    Remember that there is actually only one child in "Let the Right One In." The other character just looks, um, very very very young for her age.

  3. One of my favorite horror films is a Swedish vampire story with children as the lead actors. It’s by Tomas Alfredson, based on the 2004 novel of the same title by John Ajvide Lindqvist, Let the Right One In /
    Låt den rätte komma in.

  4. I finally watched #LetMeIn and the reviews I read are right: It's a very good #Hollywood #remake of the original #Swedish, #LetTheRightOneIn (#LåtDenRätteKommaIn); maybe the best such #movie I've seen.

    It sticks to the story and looks great. I especially love the lighting of the railroad, bridge (b/w!), and pool shot (you'll know them when you see them).

    I liked the treatment of the parents, especially mom, but the religiosity added nothing.

    It's still a #LoveStory. In a way.

  5. With the announced merger of Paramount+ and #Showtime, the cable channel has pulled a number of short-lived and under-performing series from its platform including #AmericanGigolo, #LetTheRightOneIn, #Kidding, the first season of anthology #SuperPumped, #OnBecomingAGodInCentralFlorida and #AmericanRust. Super Pumped was renewed for a second season but its fate now is unknown. American Rust was picked up for a second season by #Amazon's #Freevee. #television #streaming

  6. In a surprise announcement, #ParamountGlobal has revealed the #Showtime will no longer be a stand-alone entity with a rebrand as Paramount+ with Showtime, combining the two brands (in the US only, for now). This has also led to the cancellation of #LetTheRightOneIn and #AmericanGigolo, plus the dumping of #ThreeWomen, with #ShaileneWoodley & #BettyGilpin, which has completed production but has not yet been broadcast. but will be shopped. #television #streaming

    It's currently on #CriterionChannel along with #LetTheRightOneIn and many other vampire flicks like #TheHunger, the #LesVampires silents, #Dracula 1931, #Nosferatu and #NosferatuTheVampyre, #NearDark, #IrmaVep 1996 and several more.

    Many of these are leaving the service December 31 though.

  9. Is there a third film I can add to the unofficial modern female in love series, along with (young love), and (young adult love)?

    They're both well done and subversive, and I highly recommend them even though I don't like bloody, violent movies in general.

    These are stories about real and acceptance; more so than just about any , ever (I don't know if holds up, especially after how flawed seems now).

  14. Watched the season finale of Let the Right One In last night, and Holy Shit I did not see that twist at the bend coming. Please let there be a next season

  15. Just watched the season finale of #LetTheRightOneIn. It was quite good in places, ploddy in others. This last episode took too long to get going, although the final scene was an interesting twist.

    Overall, I enjoyed it and will watch another season. #Television #Showtime
