Based on Steig Larsson’s bestselling trilogy, Millenium: The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo is possibly the bleakest of his interwoven tales that began with The Industrialist, finally making it to these shores after wowing those critics with harder stomachs at Cannes, it kick-starts the trilogy – The Girl Who Played With Fire and The Girl Who Kicked The Hornet’s Nest to follow in the near future – in fine style. An uncompromising mystery thriller with some truly memorable – and disgusting – on-screen executions.

Let The Right One In

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.
