#SilverScreenBlack reviews: 'Let The Right One In / Låt Den Rätte Komma In' (2008)

(1hr 55 mins, Sweden)

⭐⭐⭐⭐1/2

📣Love Song For A Vampire: A friendship begins to blossom between two lonely 12-year-olds, despite a river of blood and an ocean of time.

👍Permission to enter:
Forget 'Twilight', or Oldman & Ryder, this macabre tale of vampiric loneliness, love and Luleå is magnificent!
Superb acting from Lina Leandersson and Kåre Hedebrant that will play on your mind from dusk 'til dawn.
And featuring the best swimming pool scene in cinema history...

👎Bullies that remember:
The movie may feel underwhelming on first viewing - don't begin it expecting 'Blade'!
It missed out on an Oscar nomination for Best Foreign Film due to a technicality.
And it's SUCH a cool film... but I'm going to have to wait at least five years before I can show it to any of my children...

🥇Best quote:
"To flee is life;
To linger, death."

🙁Best depressing quote:
"Don't you celebrate your birthday? Then you don't get any birthday presents, do you?"

😭2nd best depressing quote:
"I'm twelve. But I've been twelve for a long time."
