The year has been, without a doubt, a good year for vampires. A vast array of vampire films and tv shows have appeared. Whilst some push ground, others appear to be little more than styling gel adverts. Let The Right On In takes vampires seriously; something that is not easy to do. More than this, it is a film about childhood, about parentage and about children understanding love. The film may be about love, but it is devoid of tiring sentiment or romance. It is dark and grim and full of the dark, distinctly not sexy world that vampires should truly inhabit. Murnau would be proud.
