Review:
Horror movies are generally known for their unsettling content, the gore, monsters or sense of dread. Rarely are they known for their stillness and beauty. Tomas Alfredson’s Let The Right One In, based on the novel of the same name (Låt den rätte komma in in Swedish) by John Ajvide Lindqvist, is a rare film that combines all the above. I have never seen a horror film as beautiful as Let The Right One In.
