Let the Wrong One In

I stumbled upon the 2021 horror comedy "Let the Wrong One In" by random chance here in 2022. And of course with it being a horror comedy and a movie that I hadn't already seen then I had to sit down and watch it. Now, I hadn't even heard about "Let the Wrong One In" prior to watching it, so I wasn't sure what writer and director Conor McMahon had in store for me.

And as it turned out then "Let the Wrong One In" was actually surprisingly entertaining and enjoyable. It was a nice approach on the vampire genre, and the comedy in the movie was good. Not really the type of comedy that had be toppled over laughing, but it was a make-you-feel-good kind of comedy. And it definitely worked in favor of the movie.

The storyline was adequate, albeit somewhat on the generic side actually. But luckily then the character gallery more than made up for the shortcomings of the storyline. And also the acting performances did quite a lot to alleviate the somewhat generic storyline.

I was surprised to see Anthony Head on the cast list in "Let the Wrong One In", but it was a nice surprise, because he usually does add a lot of charm and flavor to the things he stars in. And such was also the case for "Let the Wrong One In". I wasn't familiar with lead actors Karl Rice (playing Matt) and Eoin Duffy (playing Deco), but they were nicely cast and carried the movie quite well.

Something that really worked out for "Let the Wrong One In" was the blood and mayhem. That was quite a treat, and it was a nice surprise, because I wasn't expecting that from a movie such as this.

If you have the chance to sit down and watch "Let the Wrong One In", then do so. Especially if you enjoy horror comedies with a vampire theme. I was genuinely entertained by this movie.

My rating of "Let the Wrong One In" lands on a six out of ten stars.

Okay.. So, it's actually kinda funny. Lots of "blood" and injuries.

Reference to Twilight was something unexpected.

But the accent was something terrible. And I know that's the point here. That it's supposed to be funny, but in some parts it was very annoying and unlistenable.

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.

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.

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?
