Let The Right One In(2008)Drama | Horror | Romance | Thriller ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() A fragile, anxious boy, 12-year-old Oskar is regularly bullied by his stronger classmates but never strikes back. The lonely boy's wish for a friend seems to come true when he meets Eli, also 12, who moves in next door to him with her father. A pale, serious young girl, she only comes out at night and doesn't seem affected by the freezing temperatures. Coinciding with Eli's arrival is a series of inexplicable disappearances and murders. One man is found tied to a tree, another frozen in the lake, a woman bitten in the neck. Blood seems to be the common denominator--and for an introverted boy like Oskar, who is fascinated by gruesome stories, it doesn't take long before he figures out that Eli is a vampire. But by now a subtle romance has blossomed between Oskar and Eli, and she gives him the strength to fight back against his aggressors. Oskar becomes increasingly aware of the tragic, inhuman dimension of Eli's plight, but cannot bring himself to forsake her. Frozen forever in a twelve-year-old's body, with all the burgeoning feelings and confused emotions of a young adolescent, Eli knows that she can only continue to live if she keeps on moving. But when Oskar faces his darkest hour, Eli returns to defend him the only way she can. For more details about Let The Right One In on Blu-ray, see the Let The Right One In Blu-ray Review Let The Right One In Blu-ray, Video Quality![]() Presented in its original aspect ratio of 2.39:1, encoded with VC-1 and granted a 1080p transfer, Tomas Alfredson’s Let The Right One In arrives on Blu-ray courtesy of Magnolia Pictures. This recent Swedish film reveals a unique look that most definitely enhances the eerie atmosphere its story instills. For example, its color-scheme is very intriguing – blues, whites and blacks are well saturated but exceptionally cold. This being said, contrast is notably pleasing. There are large portions of the narrative that take place at night, but the VC-1 encoded transfer handles them just as well as it does the daylight footage. Furthermore, edge-enhancement is not an issue of concern (the snow scenes in particular look very strong). More importantly, however, the transfer Magnolia Pictures have provided is totally free of DNR. Finally, I did not detect any debris, scratches, or stains to report here either. To sum it all up, Let The Right One In is definitely one of the better Blu-ray releases that I have seen courtesy of Magnolia Pictures (together with The World’s Fastest Indian and The War Within). (Note: Even though this Blu-ray disc is marketed as Region-A, it is in fact Region-Free. Therefore, you will be able to play it on your PS3 or SA regardless of your geographical location). Let The Right One In Blu-ray, Audio Quality![]() There are two audio tracks on this Blu-ray disc: English DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 and Swedish DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1. I opted for the Swedish DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 track (should you want to experience the film as envisioned by its creators, I insist that you do so as well) and, frankly, I could not have been any more impressed with it. Well, here it is folks – a rich, incredibly nuanced and very well mixed audio track that does not test the muscles of your audio system…yet, it is absolutely perfect. The Swedish DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 track captures the dark aura of Let The Right One In so well, during large portions of the film I was actually far more pleased with the terrific audio than I was with the story. Simply put, the balance is perfect, the sound incredibly rich (with a good dose of surround activity, though nothing excessive) and the dialog crystal clear and very easy to follow. For the record, Magnolia Pictures have provided optional English, English SDH and Spanish subtitles for the main feature (the subtitles appear inside the image frame). Also, I quickly tested the English DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 track, but there is absolutely no basis for comparison between the Swedish DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 track (the emotions the main protagonists reveal are totally lost in the English dub, and so is the very impressive ambient tone of the film) and the English dub. Once again, I strongly recommend that you opt for the original audio.
