I doubt I would have known about this movie if a friend didn't tell me I should see it and even if I had found out about it, I probably would have avoided it, since it looks too violent. There were definitely scenes where I wished they were speaking English or Spanish so I could close my eyes and still understand what they were saying, but most of the movie wasn't too gory.
The story of Let the Right One In is very interesting and only overly predictable in one area (which I won't mention). The cast is good and the story of a vampire that concentrates on the issues of trying to exist in society without concentrating on the sexual aspect is refreshing.
I definitely recommend renting Let the Right One In.

As long as you're okay with reading subtitles (or understand French), I would definitely recommend Tell No One. The story is interesting and had me guessing about many aspects of the case throughout the film. The cast is amazing and the movie held my attention until the very end. I figured out portions of the story, but never fully put everything together until it was spelled out and that's rare for me in a movie.
I recommend renting this one and dealing with the subtitles. It's worth the trouble!
