Let the Right One In

If you're a fan of vampire flicks but aren't in a tizzy over Twilight, check out Let the Right One in, now playing at the Alamo South Lamar.

Let the Right One in is a Swedish film, but it has been making waves a film festivals worldwide. The film focuses on the relationship between two children--Oskar a lonely boy who is often the target of school bullies, and Eli, a 12-year-old vampire.

The film evokes snippets of the famous vampire genre, but is more of an emotional tale than typical horror movie. Sure, theres blood and guts, but this film manages to communicate more about emotional pain than physical.

I won't give too much away. So, I'll just say this: believe the hype.
