Let the Right One In - Tiny Queer Vampire in Love

Published: Oct. 29, 2018, 9:10 p.m.

Let's round out October with a quiet, spooky little love story about tenderness in a brutal world. Let the Right One In is closer to being a Vampire Chronicles movie than Queen of the Damned ever was; the remake is a pile of stinkgarbage; the author comes off as intensely dudebro; and yes, we're going to have a sit down and talk about The Gender Thing so that Vrai's brains don't melt out their ears.
