I thought the opening passages were great and created an unsettling mood, but once it turned away from the horror and became this entirely different movie I sort of lost enthusiasm. That final scene is a gem though.Glennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08194113062830373898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-62623909629208297102008-09-25T17:33:00.000-04:002008-09-25T17:33:00.000-04:00Thanks for the suggestions!My slate's filling up, ...Thanks for the suggestions!<BR/>My slate's filling up, and I've managed to wrangle "Wendy and Lucy" and "I've Loved You So Long" from a fellow reviewer who's now perma-frowning at me. :DAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-81969820334448712952008-09-25T12:01:00.000-04:002008-09-25T12:01:00.000-04:00Beg to differ on "Let the Right One In" .... it mi...Beg to differ on "Let the Right One In" .... it might not be very "scary," but I think it succeeds on almost every other level, and is the rare horror film I would describe as 'lovely.'<BR/><BR/>When I saw it at Tribeca, I thought it was just the sort of film that would slip under the radar, so I'm actually glad it's getting the sort of hype/word-of-mouth that it is.Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06869577550036962998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-4412442778130843072008-09-25T09:11:00.000-04:002008-09-25T09:11:00.000-04:00Ladeedah, I haven't scoured the program but if O'H...Ladeedah, I haven't scoured the program but if <I>O'Horten</I> is screening do go and see it.
