source: Let the Wrong One In

After a wild night out, a man's brother returns home with a series of strange ailments and a story that seems entirely too much like a vampire attack, and as they try to cure him with the help of a vampire hunter, they soon realize his vampire powers might help them more than hinder them. There was a lot of fun to be had with this one. Among the better features here is the hysterical comedy that comes about from the goofy setup and premise at play here. The engaging opening that tells how he came to be bitten by the vampire and his quest to return home to his brother who's entirely too convinced of everything from the start offers a fantastic series of sight-gags and jokes about the situation, from trying to remain out of sight of his mother despite the incoming sunlight burning his skin or the comments at his stupidity in not realizing what's going on. The back-and-forth banter here is just a start as the type of comedy present here carries on throughout this one with all sorts of humorous situations detailing the need to keep him away from others only being caught up by their clumsy behavior and ineptness for a grand series of hysterical slapstick comedy and wordplay jokes. With this in place, the series of horror ambushes at play here are quite fun and have a lot to like. The opening attack that shows the vampires turning the bride into their kind and going wild on the rest of the bridal party starts this on a strong note, while the flashback getting to see the attack on the brother that initially turns him into one mix together laughs with some solid blood splatter. The later scenes at the house where they battle the hunter trying to stake his brother continues that kind of goofiness and genuine genre action, while the scenes involving the female crew coming together to stop them from getting the upper hand provide some rather fun times. The finale, where he races to get his captured mother out of their compound while the vampires try to kill them off, has a lot of fun graphic battles ends this on a high note with a lot of fun action and a nice bit of blood-spray in the graphic kills to both human and vampire to give this quite a lot to like. There isn't much to dislike with this one, but it does have a few minor problems. The main drawback here is the films' sudden decision to suddenly turn the brotherly relationship into a growth experience between the two which feels incredibly out-of-place here. The sudden decision to turn this whole thing into a growing experience as a means of how they originally got separated and brought back together again just doesn't have the same interest level as it comes out of nowhere with very little point to doing this. As well, the confusing nature of the finale where the introduction of random characters and some jarring revelations for several characters that makes no sense for the sake of creating light-hearted action on display which is quite a big letdown. Along with some cheesiness due to the attempt at comedy that might not be readily accepted by most out there, these are the only real issues to be had here. Rated Unrated/R: Extreme Graphic Language and Graphic Violence.

Okay.. So, it's actually kinda funny. Lots of "blood" and injuries. Reference to Twilight was something unexpected. But the accent was something terrible. And I know that's the point here. That it's supposed to be funny, but in some parts it was very annoying and unlistenable.

With the added vampire experience by the one and only Anthony Stewart Head. A great funny role he has here, even if he is not front and center. But he lends quite a lot of gravitas. And his acting choices ... genius - even if it is only a facial expression for example. Overall the humor is hit and miss. The logic is out of the window (with sunlight obviously "hitting" characters at time without it affecting them, vampires not being shown in mirrors but through video calls and other stuff like that) ... if you don't mind those things, you can have quite some fun with this. And you really shouldn't overthink it. If you are an animal friend, you might have some issues (emphasis on some, not less or more) with how a certain pet is treated ... but maybe in the end you can have a laugh! Pun intended.

Absolutely fo-kk-in hilarious! From beginning to end, and even after that, 'cause it still gives you a treat in the credits. Great job, and one of the best comedies I've sunken my teeth into this year, if not the best one. This is a very close second to "Shaun of the Dead" in terms of quality, and definitely a keeper.

Then have a look, irish bloody good vampire comedy, with a stash of blood gore and hilarious humour, made on the budget n1/1000 part of draculas. Acting fun, speed and jokes very nice, feels like an amateur bot but really hits the good old nerve of a grumpy old man that reviews this one. Am norwegian and look forward to some cc'd version, cause irish a full speed is kauderwelsh at times. Its a must see.

With the last three years we had this film gave us some hearty laughs to enjoy. I highly recommend. A great film to sit back and just enjoy. It doesn't take itself seriously and that's honestly the charm.

I stumbled upon the 2021 horror comedy "Let the Wrong One In" by random chance here in 2022. And of course with it being a horror comedy and a movie that I hadn't already seen then I had to sit down and watch it. Now, I hadn't even heard about "Let the Wrong One In" prior to watching it, so I wasn't sure what writer and director Conor McMahon had in store for me. And as it turned out then "Let the Wrong One In" was actually surprisingly entertaining and enjoyable. It was a nice approach on the vampire genre, and the comedy in the movie was good. Not really the type of comedy that had be toppled over laughing, but it was a make-you-feel-good kind of comedy. And it definitely worked in favor of the movie. The storyline was adequate, albeit somewhat on the generic side actually. But luckily then the character gallery more than made up for the shortcomings of the storyline. And also the acting performances did quite a lot to alleviate the somewhat generic storyline. I was surprised to see Anthony Head on the cast list in "Let the Wrong One In", but it was a nice surprise, because he usually does add a lot of charm and flavor to the things he stars in. And such was also the case for "Let the Wrong One In". I wasn't familiar with lead actors Karl Rice (playing Matt) and Eoin Duffy (playing Deco), but they were nicely cast and carried the movie quite well. Something that really worked out for "Let the Wrong One In" was the blood and mayhem. That was quite a treat, and it was a nice surprise, because I wasn't expecting that from a movie such as this. If you have the chance to sit down and watch "Let the Wrong One In", then do so. Especially if you enjoy horror comedies with a vampire theme. I was genuinely entertained by this movie. My rating of "Let the Wrong One In" lands on a six out of ten stars.

This film was laugh a minute. The accents, the jokes in the background, the acting, it was absolutely pitch perfect. Me & the missus were killing ourselves laughing. Seemingly, nothing could spoil this film. And if it could have stayed like that beyond the halfway point, then this film would have been perfection. But like a lot of films, you can't maintain that level of awesomeness forever. The second half of the film didn't float my boat. The missus still found it funny, so don't dismiss my second half review of this film. You too many find it as amusing as she did, in which case, this film could be your almost perfect EIGHT.
