Netflix is another "social" site I am on, and it sent me a notification from theSeed. It seems that he really, really, really liked the Swedish moody vampire love study, Let the Right One In. When I saw it, I knew it was right up his alley. Anywhoo, here's a comparison of the book to the movie. Who knew the girl was supposed to be a guy?

Amazing blend of genres and yet it was effortless in it's story telling. Really well done film.
I didn't think I was going to like it that much. Most of the films I hear about always tout the films as "best ever" or "completely original" but most fall by the wayside. I'm usually skeptical upon hearing reviews and recommendations.
This one the other hand actually was everything and more. It's sort of like how Seven Samurai is every movie you ever wanted to see in one film. Heh.
So are you going to read the book?
It doesn't help to have Let's Golf on my iPhone.
I really wasn't expecting to like it as much as I did. I thought I'd just be seeing some cool genre horror film, but came away with something cooler. I thought it would be like The Host or something.
