Lat den Rätte Komma in (2008, SWE) C-115m. SCOPE ** D: Tomas Alfredson. Starring Kare Hedebrandt, Per Ragnar, Henrik Dahl, Karin Bergquist, Peter Carlberg. Slowly paced horror drama set in wintry 1982 Sweden, where a bullied, neglected 12-year-old boy befriends his new neighbor, a girl, who may be a blood-thirsty vampire. Acclaimed, but only asset is wintry cinematography, there seems to be no point in the time setting or, in fact, the entire plot. It's INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE less style, less suspense and less stars. There's little texture to be drawn from the ponderous proceedings. The gory effects left me as cold as the Swedish winter. English title: LET THE RIGHT ONE IN.
