Let the Right One Slip In

Ever read a book or seen a movie that drew you in so completely that you find it hard to shake off even days later? Something that captivated you so utterly that you feel the atmosphere of it even in the most mundane settings? Let the Right One In did that for me. Every time I step outside I expect to see snow filtering down from a black sky onto a ( Read more... )

Did you see it on DVD or in the theater? Seeing the comparison between the theatrical subbing and the sparse DVD version gave me a fit. Luckily, I still loved it and want to see it again and the NetFlix watch it now version has the theatrical subs.
Did you read the book? I just ordered it from Powells.

We saw it in the theater, fortunately. I wanted to get the DVD but Blake warned me about the subtitles -- hooray for Netflix! (Grace came for me today, but I don't have time to watch it until the weekend. Alas.)

I've been meaning to read the book since I discovered that it was a book (always feel like I'm late to that) but haven't had too much free time for pleasure reading lately. It's been more copyright/patent/preservation/horribleness reading.

i watched it on netflix a while ago while house sitting for a friend and i thought it was about as close to perfect as a movie can be, horror or not.

I just watched this movie last night, partly because netflix predicted it would be a 5/5 star fit for my movie tastes, and partly because of this review.

I really, really liked it. I haven't fully processed all of the reasons why, but it resonates with me.

Netflix has an eerie ability to gauge what I would and wouldn't enjoy.

It's such a lovely story about two people who are on the outside (but for different reasons) and how they're able to find a sort of solace in each other.

I'm anxiously waiting for the book to arrive from Powell's now.

Glad you liked it.
