This is the best surrealistic/futuristic noir I've ever seen. Such a marvelous film, it reminds me a lot of the short movie "The Crimson Permanent Assurance", but way deeper and disturbing. An instant favorite!

Let the Right One In
This is the sort of plot which in wrong hands would be an unpleasant cinematographic experience.

By 'wrong hands' I mean Hollywood standardization, also know as picking an annoying kid as protagonist that will certainly spend most of the film whispering and... being generally annoying. They would also choose a terrible soundtrack composer such as James Newton Howard, to make sure the average audience wouldn't leave the exhibition room without jumping scared in the chairs due to sudden and loud noises. They gotta make your ticket worthy, you know. I don't think Steven Spielberg would pick a pagan's script as well, 'cause the plot isn't kosher enough for him, so the producers would go after a foreign cheap director from south-east Asia.

Luckily for us there is no such awful production being planned. Oh wait, there is!!! Damn. We are screwed.

Skip the remake and watch the original Swedish horror flick.

P.S.: The film climate reminds me a lot of one of my childhood's classics readings: Der Kleine Vampir. But way creepier than the juvenile book series written by Angela Sommer-Bodenburg.

What a great movie! It actually made Formula One appear somewhat interesting.
I only missed listening to "Push it to limit" when Senna threw his car against Prost's =D
