Tomas Alfredson's Let the Right One In (review) (Lat den ratte komma in), about first love between a young boy and the vampire next door, won the feature prize as the Tribeca Film Festival named the winners of its seventh annual competition. Competing were 120 features and 80 shorts from 40 countries. Over the weekend we discovered that Hammer Films has acquired the remake rights for the US. The film follows Oscar, an overlooked and bullied boy, finds love and revenge through Eli, a beautiful but peculiar girl who turns out to be a vampire.

What do you want me to say? OK; I want to see the movie. Now when can we make that happen?

I saw LET THE RIGHT ONE IN at Tribeca this year and while there’s no doubt it’s a good movie this is clearly a case of the hype machine getting a little ahead of itself - well that and the selection at Tribeca this year blew (as it has for the past 5 or 6 years – zing!) Keep in mind the festival opened w/ BABY MAMA so that should give you an idea of Tribeca’s prominence. Again, LET THE RIGHT ONE IN is a solid movie but it clearly benefited from nothing else at the festival. Solid camera work, solid direction, a great ending, some good gore – but overall the movie is a little slow. And no, I’m not confusing “atmosphere” with a movie being just plain slow.

I have to agree with shamrock33. I saw the film at Tribeca and really enjoyed it. However, it has its weaknesses, and I was surprised that it won. It's very much worth seeing, but I agree that it needs tightening up. Too many threads that can't be developed in enough depth, yet slow down the pace. Again, a really good film, especially in comparison with most vampire movies, but not a flawless classic.
