Let the Right One In

If you live in NYC I highly, highly recommend the movie "Let The Right One In" - a Swedish vampire flick at the Angelika right now. I went to see it a while ago with my husband and a friend and it was awesome. It's actually an excellent film AND it's a vampire movie.

I am into vampires as I have been for a while. I have read the Twilight series (a film that does not promise to be good, but one I will see and enjoy, I'm sure), I watch True Blood with all the dedication of a fanatic but I swear to you this is not why I'm recommending this film.

The sound is incredible, the characters are real and interesting and the pace and tone make it unusual and captivating.

Okay, I've said enough. I went to see it after scanning the Voice's review (which is what made me want to see it) and didn't really know anything about it. That was a good way to see it - without watching previews or reading plot synopsis.
