Based on the novel by screenwriter John Ajvide Lindqvist, Swedish vampire film Let the right one in has school-bullied boy tormented by spineless sleaze and befriended with a vampire "girl" - actually a castrated boy - who shows her the importance of revenge. Yai! Idea of school-bullies tasting their own... medicine in long and repeated intervals is great one. Unfortunately, execution is terrible. It is slow-moving, with drab and ugly photography and visuals - people calling this movie beautiful boggles the mind. No gorgeous dream-like atmosphere and symbolism of best vampire films here. Being a vampire movie fan I can only say I disliked this film. Let the "unhelpful" votes to come.
