... OK, now I finished it. I'm underwhelmed and quite disappointed. While the film is not bad, I found that it lacked any real substance. I found an 'exterior' movie, who did something quite good (the representation of the beast inside the vampire, via sound effects mainly; the cinematography; the last shot which is simply genial), and something terrible (the writing; the pace; a direction that was undecided between gritty realism and magical surrealism).
All in all, I'd say 6 out 10, or maybe even 5.5

Shame you didn't enjoy it that much. I understand that this isn't a movie that everyone will appreciate/like. Personally, I absolutely love Let the Right One In. It's become one of my favourite films. I even went so far as to get a tattoo of Eli.  As Roper Klacks said, the film is a breath of fresh air, especially compared to how stale the vampire genre is. I'm sick of all these mainstream/Hollywood vampire flicks, so this was just what I needed. Of course it did help that I read the novel first.
