What better way to avoid the UK Snow than a a trip to the local googleplex you might think. Unfortunately something hits you pretty quickly as you glance through the now playing listings –yep, pretty much every film out this January is designed to send a shiver – either of horror or of boredom – down your spine, and Vampire Actioner Daybreakers is a trite case in point.

Somewhere out there in movie fan land, there’s a hardcore group that dare not speak their name. I’m talking of course, about the Dracula: Dead and Loving It aficionados. Every night they sit in their care home, drooling and guffawing as Leslie Nielson falls face first down a staircase, a strange cloud of melancholy clouding the mood as they realise that, try as the Wayans Brothers may, there will never again be a vampire film that shit.
Until now.

Swedish director Tomas Alfredson’s version of John Ajvide Lindqvist’s novel, Let The Right One In, finally limps on to British and American screens…just in time for the DVD release. That said, this is definitely a film that deserves a big screen, and a night-walk home through the park afterwards.
This is stunning, catching the ethereal beauty of a Scandinavian winter and juxtaposing it with the modern, concrete grimness of the cold war. Despite being firmly rooted in the 80s, the film spends a lot of time building an atmosphere that is both timeless and ageless.
