Here's the difference between a good movie and bad one...

Today, I want to make some contrasts. There have been 2 vampire movies released recently in the Salt Lake Valley. The first, Twilight. Based on a series of books.


The second, Let the Right One In. Both are about Vampires, and love and all that stuff. However, one is done the right way, and one is done the wrong way.


Both movies are centered on a sort of love story, which fits based on the psychological and literal history of vampirism. However, Twilight is all about teeny bopper high school kids. It's just another teenager about beautiful kids who just "aren't understood". It's so full on teenager angst, that I almost had to call in a trip to mall, just to calm the kids down. If you don't want to pay the full price for a movie ticket, you can also see the horrible movie, The Covenant and get the same thing.
Let the Right One In, however, is about a young man being bullied and made fun of. It's the perfect story about early adolescence and about gender confusion. It's a simple love and admiration story. There's nothing sexual about it, but there definitely is some sexual tension between characters. The movie itself captures the feelings of trying to figure out early sexuality. The story has some brilliant camera work. Sometimes covering a gruesome scene, and other times giving it an all too real feeling. Overall, it's a great piece of film. Much better than a Hollywood style dribble that's created for every novel written. Anyone who wants to see a good vampire flick. Ditch this Twilight crap, and see Let the Right One In.
