Let the Right One In

[the Platinum Poppy]

I saw it in cinema here, and really liked it. I didn't expect another vampire movie to be any good, but then reviews were starting to come in and everyone seemed to love it, so I got curious and went to see it. And it was great. (I checked it out at rotten tomatoes too... it had like 97-98% or so positive reviews).

After this I learnt more about the story in the book it is based on... apparently, the movie follows part of the book pretty accurately, but large chunks have been cut out. So lots of things that are explained in length and detail in the book are left open to various interpretations in the movie. I think that works to the movie's advantage.

I also think Oskar is a little like those kids that one day get a gun and go to the schoolyard trying to take out as many people as possible... Only difference is he doesn't kill people himself, since he doesn't have to, with his vampire buddy murdering around.
