#231. Let the Right One In
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/c/c9/Let_the_Right_One_In_%28Swedish%29.jpg
Dir: Tomas Alfredson
Genre: Horror
Year: 2008

Let the Right One In is the best vampire movie, full stop. Not because it necessarily introduces anything new or has a unique take on established tropes, but because it's simply shot so damn well. Maybe Nordic peoples just take to the camera naturally, but everything from the lighting to the makeup to the effects is just perfect. It genuinely feels like magic.

I have never seen the remake, but if I were to guess, I bet:
-they use way too much CGI
-they fuck up the pacing entirely
-they lose the androgyny subtext altogether
-it sucks
