Let the Right One In (Swedish movie)

[Vic Strangeways]

Hi,

I don't know if this has been discussed here before...
Last week I saw an fantastic swedish horror movie called Let the Right One In...it was based on a book with the same name.
Just wondering if anyone knows if the name was inspired by 'Let the Right One Slip In'?!
Thanks

Yes it was.

 

[nightcrawler]

yes it was. The book has even another Moz-Reference. It begins with a quote from "Last of the famous international playboys" ("I never wanted to kill, I am not naturally evil. Such things I do just to make myself more attractive to you, have I failed?")

The author Johan Ajvide Lindqvist is a huge Moz fan, as far as I know most of his book contains Moz qoutes and references.

Uncanny. But there is a piece in the last New Yorker magazine about vampires in popular culture and there was a quick reference to this Swedish work. First thing that came to my mind was the Morrissey song. Small world, eh?

Moz has always been huge in Sweden. Lucas Moodyson is a huge Moz fan as well.

I love his reference to morrissey in the wondeful film f*cking amal..the morrissey posters on the wall of agnes room. ..

F*cking Åmål,Tillsammans,:Lilja 4-ever

Hi Vic, what is the film like? It looks good from the trailer although a bit scary (I am a total wimp). I'm reading the book at the moment. It's taking me a lot longer to read than usual as I don't want to read it at night (like I said, wimp) but it's very good. I will never listen to the song in the same way again now!

John Ajvide Lindqvist is about to write a new novel about two undead friends biking, singing smithssongs. weird as it is.
I don't think he's a good author, it's horibble books. and the picture is totally worthless
but the moz references is great.

such a good movie! I just saw it last week and wondered if the title was a refence. Makes so much sense now, especially as someone pointed earlier "i neverwanted to kill, i am not naturally evil.."

must read book now!

Spoilers!
Yes, his third book, called Manniskohamn ("Human harbour"), don't know if there is a translation avaible but that book has several quotes and references to Smiths/Morrissey. For example when one of the characters is performing a killing his quoting Smiths by saying: Fifteen minutes with you I wouldn't say no". Another character is sometimes referring about the line, "I was happy in the haze of a drunken hour, but heaven knows I'm miserable now."

Nope, it wasn't me.

I left the thread in general discussion which was posted by vic strangeways who was mentioning Morrissey reference.

Let the right one in.....

This hit Swedish vampire film made by a director who is a big fan of Morrissey and I believe the film name comes from the Smiths song, well, one of the actresses in it, Karin Bergqvist, is the 2nd cousin of my fiance, and when I move to Sweden next month, we'll be taking over her rented apartment in Malmo. Just thought it was a bit cool.

It's a really good film, very creepy in parts, excellently acted and directed.
