Let the Wrong One In

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?

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.

'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.

With the added vampire experience by the one and only Anthony Stewart Head. A great funny role he has here, even if he is not front and center. But he lends quite a lot of gravitas. And his acting choices ... genius - even if it is only a facial expression for example.

Overall the humor is hit and miss. The logic is out of the window (with sunlight obviously "hitting" characters at time without it affecting them, vampires not being shown in mirrors but through video calls and other stuff like that) ... if you don't mind those things, you can have quite some fun with this. And you really shouldn't overthink it.

If you are an animal friend, you might have some issues (emphasis on some, not less or more) with how a certain pet is treated ... but maybe in the end you can have a laugh! Pun intended.
