Vampire films are the dogs bollox! Well, there are some really bad ones. Just last night I watched some tosh called Night Junkies. A London based vampire flick. Total and utter crap. I wouldn’t even wipe my arse with it. Let The Right One In on the other hand, brilliant! It’s a Swedish film based on a book by writer John Ajvide Lindqvist.
This very dark film is set in a proper shit part of Sweden during the early 1980′s. The area is a bit like Blackpool, only without the rides or stag parties. It focuses on this weirdo lad called Oscar who’s being picked on at School and is a bit of a loner. The only person who shows any interest in him is this freaky vampire girl. Now she is Proper off key, not like the fit ones you usually see in vampire flicks. He ends up falling for her, this messed up relationship forms, paedophiles get killed, a woman turns into a vampire, spontaneous combustion happens, you see a castrated boy… some real messed up shit.
Surprise surprise, the Yanks are doing a remake… but with all the freaky shit cut out, apparantly. Trailer doesn’t look too bad though… have a gander below. It’s due out 29th October this year. I’ve also added the trailer for the original for those interested.
Blood sucking Bosh!
