Top 5 favorite movies everThis is a master piece. It does everything right. How it's shot, the acting, dialog, the score, the plot, everything. I'm sure any negative reviews are simple looking at it as a Simple horror film when it's more. It's a very bright film. The simple minded who just want blood guts and none stop action will hate it and I feel sorry for them..Score: 5/5

Humble, Yet GreatThis is a very humble Swedish film based off of a book that very people, myself included, have ever read. Yet, this is sublime. This is greatness and it trumps the immensly popular Twilight in every regard. This is a story of something beyond love: acceptance. Oskar is a bullied boy with dark thoughts and Eli is a vampire longing to find stability in a world she cannot live in. Along the way, they solve each others problems by very violent means and they find that long sought acceptance within one another. Yet, there is also the sublte manipulation of Oskar by Eli that is present, but that only adds to its depth. This is a classic that will go under-appreciated, but will be a welcome find to anyone who happens to stumble across it. This film is a diamond in the rough, and it will live on in the annals of the vampire mythos in a manner befitting itself: humbly, yet with grace and beauty beyond compare..Score: 5/5
A Dark And Witty MasterpieceThere is literally nothing wrong with this movie. If Shakespeare directed movies, this would be his masterpiece. Such dedication to detail and story and the characters come alive as we see them through their daily struggle. I appreciate how Alfredson develops the world, not only introduces us to it. Next to "The Thing" by John Carpenter, this is one of my favorite horror movies. Actually, I lied. This is one of my favorite movies period..Score: 5/5
WonderfulIf you enjoyed Dreyer's or Murnau's vampyres this film is for you, and you will never regret it. It will stay with you because it works on many levels: mythical, sexual, political, social, historical and psychological with elegance, tenderness and subtlety. But if you enjoyed the Twilight series, Interview with... and other similar vampyre products, recent and old, you will not be able to appreciate this small masterpiece. So move on and watch what you deserve. This is based on a novel, which are almost always better that their filmed versions. Do read Le Fanu's Carmilla, though, on which Lindqvist got inspiration for his own and for the script of this gem. By the way, this is in Swedish, so If you are not able to read English subtiles, go back to school..Score: 5/5
If this isn"t considered a masterpiece i dont know what is.This has to be one of the very few films that overall captivates and draw me into the story in terms of pure originality and uniqueness. I've watched this film more than 40 times and it preserves its brilliance and attractiveness very well. The acting and cinematography are superb beyond recognition. Eli and Oskars bond that accumulates gradually in this film is heartwarming and magical. This is just such a beautiful film which hit me on a variety of emotional levels simultaneously. Out of all the films made that are considered to be the greatest films of all time, this particular film let the right one in is a film that i would firmly state is one of the top 3 greatest movies ever made worldwide. I have phenomenal admiration for this film and implore people to give this magnificent film the rating it deserves. Its an undeniable masterpiece..Score: 5/5

Let the right one inAbsolutely one of the finest this year. I am quickly becoming a fan of foreign films because in many cases, the story is told with the scenery and setting(s). Not over the top blood and guts but still not for the faint of heart. If you enjoyed the setting in "Girl with the dragon tattoo" and the darkness of it, this is a movie for you. I am so glad they didn't dub in english as the language is beautiful and does the film justice..Score: 5/5
Great atmosphereI love a good vampire flick and this is one of those. It's not your typical vampire movie as it's a young girl who is the blood sucker but the story is great..Score: 5/5
Loved it!A nice change from the typical hollywood horror movie. it's a nice story where we care about the characters. the ending is a bit over the top and IT'S NOT DUBBED! why are people in the comments saying that? Swedish w/ english subtitles. is there a dubbed version on itunes?.Score: 4/5
AnelieseThe story of Eli & Oskar is haunting and not likely to be forgotten. Both the novel by John Ajvide Lindqvist and the movie capture the reality of childhood innocence and how it's lost as people grow up and into such dark situations. The entire story is centered around the fact that there can be love without lust, and that that kind of love is truly genuine..Score: 5/5
So Brilliant!This movie was completely fantastic! The visuals were astounding and artistic. I'd lost all hope in vampire movies ever since Twilight came out, but this amazing movie has restored my faith! It's chilling and beautiful and disturbing and everything a real vampire flick should be. Watch it once, and I guarantee you'll be watching it over and over again. Not to be missed!.Score: 5/5
The Atmosphere Makes This FilmI liked this movie a lot, I liked it's atmosphere. Wintery Swedish landscapes, empty and desolate spaces, evocative music, silences. The innocence of childhood contrasted with horror; interesting variation on the 'beauty and the beast' mythos. If you can relate to being a sensitive and lonely child, then you will understand Oskar. If the trailer draws you in, then you will like the movie. Enjoy! This movie is in Swedish with English subtitles..Score: 5/5
Theatrical SubtitlesThis version has the (proper) "theatrical" subtitles. I had begun to watch this movie with the other subtitles (I downloaded it off the Internet somewhere), but I knew I'd gotten the lame version -- it just didn't have spark. So I rented this version, and it's MUCH better -- full of sarcasm and nuance..Score: 5/5

Beethoven in movie makingThere was a twist in this movie, I guess, if you really were looking for it. As a matter of fact, there was a lot about this movie that was there if you really looked for it. Because the details were fantastic... if you were to appreciate those details. But along with the details, there was also the parallel contrast pacing the relationship. What was best about this movie was the contrast between the innocent attraction and very quick bursts of rapture. The mix was perfect for the purpose of the story..Score: 5/5
