Let The Right One In.....viva la American theatres

Great, great news....actually news that I read a few weeks back, but I figured it's worth mentioning here, to hopefully ignite some little bit of buzz amongst friends and associates.

An amazing, haunting, and touching little "horror" film, called Let The Right One In, is getting an extremely-deserved theatrical release here in the states, starting October 24, just in time for All Hallow's Eve. It's from Sweden, and won the top prize at the Tribeca Film Fest a few months back. I caught it during Tribeca, and absolutely adored it. I'll write more about it closer to release, but basically, it's about a shy, socially-awkward little boy who moves into a new apartment building and befriends a little girl who lives nearby, and who just happens to be an immortal bloodsucking vampire.

What was so amazing about the film, really, was that, despite a few striking and creepy "horror" sequences, it's really this heartfelt and dark love story, showing how these two vastly-different children forge a close, loyal bond in the face of murder, mayhem, and societal outcasting.

I'm telling you....international cinema is fucking bodying anything American studios are doing, genre-wise. And of course, some dumbass studio is already prepping a remake.

Losers. Do yourselves a favor and catch this original one when it drops in late Oct. Here's the great-lookin' poster.





....and the trailer:




It's a special one, I swear.
