Let the Right One In?

Asked by trumi (6501points) January 14th, 2009

I’m a big foreign film fan, but not a big horror fan. Like, not at all.

This film is coming to my favorite local theater, but I don’t know if I’m going to be watching an interesting foreign film or a freaky suspense and bloody horror movie.

I can handle Quentin Tarantino, but I still get freaked out when David is ripped open in Shaun of the Dead :P

Has anyone seen it? Would you recommend it?

Isn’t being freaked out a part of the horror experience?

My boyfriend and his family saw it. I wish I’d gone! He didn’t enjoy it, but his film buff father did. (My boyfriend is also noted for, ahem, “hating everything”.)

@cage: Which I don’t enjoy.

I don’t like horror films, but this one was well worth seeing. Two scenes stand out as sorta disturbing, one right at the beginning, but nothing so bad as to ruin the film. One of my favorites this year.

The right one out! You do the Hokey Cokey and you turn around, and that’s what it’s all about!
Oh Hokey! Hokey, Cokey!
Sorry couldn’t resist…

One of the best movies I saw last year. There’s at least 1 very graphic violent scene, but I’m a horror fan and therefore a little immune to most.

Love that movie. It’s definitely an interesting foreign film and also a horror film. I would say it’s not so much creepy as it is fascinatingly, beautifully macabre (okay, it’s creepy). My wife who loves horror films and I who am bored by them both give this film rave reviews. You may be more sensitive to fake scariness, though.
