voiceofjon-300-80771 The story itself was a rubix cube, and the photo from the photo booth was the first clue. This is where you start to find out how the relationship would insue. The story was that of "A Romeo and Juilet" curse. Were the love feels submerged. Or forbidden, they just don't allow such a love to exist with in two different seasons. One an aged Man, all grown up, but maintaining boyish thoughts. Because the love felt for her kept him on a lock. You find ways to keep your boyish charm, espically if the one you love, never stops holding your arm. The other, was a inquisitive young girl, with ageless eyes. Masking a fully grown vampires mind. Over the years, they had created a cover. I'm her father, and she's my daughter. Years ago though, he must have fell for her hard. This story is loaded with little reminders, back when he was only a boy, but never minders. We are in the present? A time traveler would wonder. Because now we see what must have happened between those two lovers. Even though the story is in the present. I am sure that is what will happen in the future. He has grown old, while her age, never seems to be solved. Do you think in his mind, he had ever questioned what had happened between her and father time? Now, a Life of routine, was all that he would see. Only to find the blood she would need. Like a Gurdian, keeping her safe inside, while he would go out at night. Dawning a dark mask, with holes for the eyes. A role suddenly to be preped for another. This led him to discover and wonder. Maybe I want to be caught. As she has found a new lover, in replacement of this old worker. We see flashing lights just over head, as we hear a passenger talking to a driver. The man in the mask lieing in the back seat, still contemplating; is this the end of me? With a roll and a struggle, the car is pinned, lieing there with a stranger. Who was going to become the young vampires next dinner. It's not everyday a car crash saves a rider. The man knowing his fate opens the mysersous canned jar, as the only way to escape the car would be a can opener. A Splash of acid acrossed his face, a burn, a singe, and no longer appearing apart of the human race. He had finally wished his fate, he had been caught. Now lieing there not putting up a fight. Just outside in the crisp cold air, with snow on the ground, a girl walks into a hosptial, with not a shoe to be found. We see the on call nurse at the desk, asking her self could it get any colder? "I'm looking for my father" was all that the young girl could utter. She didn't want everyone to know that her, and the old man once were lovers. That would only reveal her as a vampire. Time drags on, but like I said there are a lot of reminders. A long time ago when he was a boy, he had met a young vampire. I'm sure, a knock on the window, was all that she needed to convince the boy to let the right one in. Like a unfamialr sound, the knocking pulls him up from his lie down. It must have been ages of time, since he had last heard that sound. She has had permission for so long, until now. But, this time would be the last time. The faceless men with the courage, prepping to walk right up to the ageless vampire. He throws off his blanket, and strolls to the window. A calm cool wisk of wind through the wind, and a question. "Can I come in? The man grasping his throat, signing to her "Nope". The words can't be found, his body has been ripped apart from years of service. But this will not leave her in the lurch. This was not the end of the story, there was a new one to follow around. As the vampires curse in itself, curses all those that fall prey to the spell. That at the end, will always conclude with a fall.
nuurhasan There are some strange inconsistent in this film. The main problem I have is with the message of this film: it is OK to do evil things if you have a problem. The film offers no explanations on the origin of the main character. There are many needless deaths in the movie. The slow pace is tedious. The dialogue is forgettable. The acting is good though. The movie is an overall slow paced dark propagation of evil with no remorse or counter attacking by good. The ending as you'd expect is quite terrible. Without giving any spoilers, I'd leave it at that. The movie is bad, don't watch it. It promotes all the wrong ideas.
morrison-dylan-fan When reading about the history of Hammer studios in the UK film mag The Dark Side I noticed a recurring theme on each attempt to revive the studio-the new owners bring out a "big" movie to bring attention to Hammer Horror returning,and then fail to match it (in terms of praise/box office) in their next two or three productions. Whilst having heard about the film when it came out at cinemas,I was not aware that the remake of Let the Right One In (which I've not yet seen!) was a "Hammer Horror" until I saw it mentioned in the BBC listings.Catching a lot of Hammer Horror during IMDb's Horror board October Challenge,I decided to let them in. The plot-The US:1980's Winter:Bullied at school and his divorcing parents having little interest in him,Owen tries to pass the time by spying on the neighbour. Looking in the telescope one night,Owen notices that a young girl and her dad have just moved in. Crossing paths with the girl, (who is walking in the snow barefoot) Owen learns that her name is Abby and asks if she would like to be friends.Accepting his offer,Abby starts to think about how she can hide something from Owen:That she is a vampire. View on the film:Gripping the cold snap seasonal setting of the title,writer/director Matt Reeves & cinematographer Greig Fraser step on the fresh blood snow in stark white lights that give the vampire tale an icy atmosphere. Aiming to keep the film grounded, Reeves sets an inconsistent tone with the special effects,via "practical" (done with under the roof CGI) sequences (backed by a hauntingly dour score from Michael Giacchino) such as a car crash being given an earthiness thanks to Reeves superbly held tracking shots,which are disappointingly undermined by rubbery vampire attacks and fire CGI that appear to have been rushed in post-production,and stand completely at odds with the mature nature of the film.Bringing John Ajvide Lindqvist's novel to the US in the 80's, Matt Reeves smartly uses the period setting to blend pop culture nods with a sharp allegorical theme under the surface,as the TV screens show Reagan making the "Evil empire" speech and putting good/evil in black and white terms,being a complete contrast to the "grey" areas of horror that Owen finds with Abby. For the outbreak of vampire feeding,Reeves keeps the horror linked to the heart felt relationship between Abby and Owen,whose slow-burn growth in their relationship allows Reeves to gradually peel the garlic of Abby's vampire life.Walking in the real snow barefoot (shivers!) the graceful Chloë Grace Moretz gives a mesmerising performance as Abby.Looking ill at ease over revealing the dark side of her life, Moretz sinks her teeth in Abby's wild animal vampire attacks,which are smoothly linked by Moretz to the ice breaking in Abby's romance with Owen.Joined by a terrific Richard Jenkins and Cara Buono, Kodi Smit- McPhee (who reunited with Reeves on Dawn of the Planet of the Apes) gives an excellent performance as Owen.Beaten to a pulp by bullies,McPhee builds on the bruises of Owen with a striking sense of confidence lit by Owen's realisation that no one is simply good or evil,as Owen lets the right one in.
the_doofy This is a remake of "Let the right one in"-The original makes some camera and timing mistakes, the remake corrects these--the remake loses the whole meaning of the original, which is a character development of the kind of individual that would wind up serving a vampire its whole lifeThe remake misses this concept completely in typical Hollywood fashion, and then it gets lots of accolades, no surprise thereIn the original the boy has a dark side which the vampire observes and is drawn to, a boy who would never cry out, a boy who has the capacity to killThese characteristics are discarded in the remake, and it gives the ending very little credibilityIn the original good people can and do get killed, in the remake the bad get killedWatch the original, and bypass the Standard Hollywood tripe
