Critics' Reviews

100
Washington Post: John Anderson
In the basest of terms, a horror flick. But it's also a spectacularly moving and elegant movie, and to dismiss it into genre-hood, to mentally stuff it into the horror pigeonhole, is to overlook a remarkable film.Read Full Review »

Philadelphia Inquirer: Steven Rea
Funny, fear-inducing, with periods of voyeuristic gore and an undercurrent of anxiety and dread, Let the Right One In is up there with the bloodsucking classics.Read Full Review »

ROLLING STONE: Peter Travers
Stick your neck out for this Swedish horror show. It's a winner, full of mirth and malice, plus a young romance you'll never see on the Disney Channel.Read Full Review »

CHICAGO SUN-TIMES: Roger Ebert
The young actors are powerful in draining roles. We care for them more than they care for themselves. Alfredson's palette is so drained of warm colors that even fresh blood is black.Read Full Review »

Boston Globe: Wesley Morris
The beauty of Let the Right One In resides in the way the horror remains grounded in a tragic kind of love.Read Full Review »

NewsWeek: David Ansen
Let the Right One In unfolds with quiet, masterly assurance.Read Full Review »

LOS ANGELES TIMES: Carina Chocano
In this sinister but gorgeous and compelling film by director Tomas Alfredson, being human and acting human don't always go together.Read Full Review »

Village Voice: Elena Oumano
A coolly balanced and utterly compelling examination of alienation and love.Read Full Review »

The New York Times: Manohla Dargis
There is a remarkable stillness to many of the film's most indelible images, particularly the exteriors, which are so carefully photographed, and without the usual tiresome camera jiggling, as to look almost frozen.Read Full Review »

Salon.com: Andrew O'Hehir
An ingenious mixture of satire, dead-end suburban realism and gory vampire fantasy.Read Full Review »
