Let the Right One In

This Halloween, Forgotten Horror 7 sinks its teeth into one of the most hauntingly beautiful vampire films ever made, "Let the Right One In" (2008).

Both Mike Butler and Mike Field are huge fans of this Swedish horror masterpiece. With stunning direction, striking cinematography, and incredible performances, the film redefines what a vampire story can be; blending the supernatural with young love.

The Mikes explore how "Let the Right One" In approaches vampire lore in fresh, unexpected ways while telling a much deeper story. They also touch on the inevitable American remake; understanding why it exists, but still questioning why anyone felt the need to remake something already so perfect.

Whether you’re revisiting it or discovering it for the first time, "Let the Right One" In is the perfect film to close out spooky season: chilling, heartbreaking, and unforgettable. All on a snowy backdrop that's perfect to usher in the winter season.

What's your go-to Halloween watch?

About the Podcast

Forgotten Cinema
A podcast about forgotten films that deserve a second chance
Welcome to Forgotten Cinema! Each episode, Mike Field and Mike Butler highlight a film that for a variety of reasons was forgotten by audiences. Whether it be because a more popular movie was released at the same time or the movie simply didn’t catch on with an audience in the its initial run. We’ll discuss what we love about the movie or perhaps don’t love about it and decide whether the movie is worth a revisit.
