'Let the Right One In' is Too Coldnew
Bookended by shots of falling snow, Right One seems to take place in a snow globe, just as still, just as quiet, its compositions just as stiff, with plastic figures arranged in stock situations.
In 'Let the Right One In,' the Suburban Setting is Part of the Scarenew
The juxtaposition of vampire lore and mundane reality is especially powerful in this Swedish import. Set in a dank suburb of Stockholm, it proves once again that horror stories can be even more frightening when exposed to a little daylight.
