Let the Wrong One In

Comedy about Deco, a slacker drug-addict in recovery who turns vampire. He races the sun home only to be heckled. Vampires aren't that uncommon here in Dublin. He needs help from his brother but his family have had it with him fokking up so much. This is like the Irish Bordello of Blood. Instead of a bordello they go to a night club hosted by the OG vampire queen bee. This flick is cute, silly and funny.

For an indie film, it's not that bad. With a bigger budget and better effects, it can be a decent movie. The problem is Karl Rice, he still needs some acting lessons. If he wants to be a better actor, that is. Oh, and about vampire lore, the writer should be more consistent with it. Some vampire just dead when staked, some have their faces melted, some turn into ashes. Just pick one and stay with it, can you?

I've spent many weeks looking for a new horror movie to watch that I can actually enjoy.

So much garbage is being made these days, it's painful for the eyes.

That's why I normally watch old films because then I know they'll be worth viewing.

But something about this film struck me before I even watched it and that was the play on title, Let the WRONG One In. Haha.

This film is a little gem. Excellent humour and brilliant knockabout stuff. All the cast are brilliant. Nothing is forced, it just happens naturally.

I don't usually like horror comedies as the humour often doesn't work. But yes, this is a fun watch definitely. I'd say this is a 6/10 film but I am gonna bump that score up to 8/10, because it deserves it, holding my attention and I enjoyed it.

'Let The Wrong One in' is a 2021 horror comedy by Conor McMahon. I was familiar with his previous movies 'From The Dark' and 'Stitches' which I both liked. This movie is kind of a mixture between those two movies. It's a vampire movie like 'From The Dark' and it has the comedic aspects from 'Stitches'.

Younger brother Matt is visited by his older brother Deco who lives a questionable lifestyle and got thrown out of his house by their mother. But Deco does not visit for a family reunion, he got bit in the neck by a woman and now seems to turn into a vampire. Now Matt has to decide if he wants to help his brother or needs to stop or even kill him to save others.

The movie did a good job for its low budget and the british humour was good. Also there was lots of blood and some gore involved. The movie overall has a similar vibe to 'Shaun of the Dead' but obviously with the much lower budget and not quite as good. If you like light horror comedies and don't mind the low budget you will probably enjoy this one. [5,1/10]

Enjoyed this movie very much. All cast picked perfectly and blended very well together. I laughed so much. The special effects were veru good. This move is a vampire shaun of the dead. Definitely worth a watch.
