rather a film which I saw at the local theater a month or two ago after very much looking forward to seeing it.
I feel it's a disappointment, far too "talky" and it pales next to the vastly superior "Let the Right One In."
After three great films, I wasn't surprised that he didn't keep up the high level but still...... I was disappointed.
It stands at 82% approval on RottenTomatoes, in general but has a pretty low 68% with critics. I side with the latter. It started really well but dribbled down into a repetitive mess of ghoulish gore.

  gore unsettle you after awhile? It seemed gratuitous to me and I'm not squeamish when the plot necessitates it. It seemed too much time was spent on the actual acts of violence and little, relatively, between them. After awhile, I didn't care for any of the characters. Now, I don't mean to say it was a terrible film; I'd say it's worth watching. But it's certainly FAR below his trilogy.
