My Thoughts:
I decided to watch this one with Brittany today. This is the first time she ever seen it.... and the first time I seen it since I was a teen. So I probably haven't seen it in a good 30 years! It is very strange... even after all those years there was a lot of stuff I remembered. After all those years I was telling Britt ohh.. watch this part it's funny. I remembered so much while watching you would have thought I watched it less then a month ago. But to be fair I did watch it countless times when I was a teen. Sure this movie goes with the obvious jokes... and some of those jokes are rather dated... but all the same this film is a lot of fun to watch! Brittany said it was a fun movie... but nothing there really got her laughing all that much. I am afraid I may have hyped it up for her a little too much. Plus this movie was made in 1980, so she didn't get all the references and such. But she said it was fun all the same. I, myself had a blast watching this one again after all these years. Definitely recommended.My Rating:

Shortened Review:
Cannibals "Let the Right One In"? Absolutely not. Something new? To a point, yes. For me, it was a film of two halves with the first half working better, not as a cannibal film, but as a film about a family struggling to cope after the death of the head of the family. The fact that they eat human flesh to live didn't feel like the main part of the story at this point, despite the film largely focusing on the brothers struggle to get along and to find a victim. The second half of the film felt like a cannibal film, victim finally bound and gagged, violence exploding but shot in a way in which, for the most part, we don't see the maliciousness of the attacks, but the way it is shot still gives you a rather vivid idea of what has happened. A good example of this was when the mother, Patricia, hits a victim repeatedly with a golf club. We see the hatred in her actions and her eyes, and we see the club get viciously swung towards the victim, but we don't see the actual contact, or the victim at all during the attack. The acting ranges from mediocre for the brothers, to above average for the mother, to excellent for Sheila, the sister, who does not get enough screen time to shine. Script wise the story could've flowed a little better at times but as a whole it is better than most films of the genre. The soundtrack was suitable but didn't really add to the atmosphere or build tension as much as it should've, which was a shame. As a whole I would say don't believe the hate, or the love this has received. I didn't find it to be anything new apart from the way the first half of the film develops and the fact it is set in a city rather than the middle of nowhere (and the city setting could've been utilised to a greater extent) yet I do feel that as a debut, Grau hasn't done bad and is a name to look out for in the future.

The sequel series to Ai Yori Aoshi, which brings conclusion to the story (although different ending than the manga, because that one was still ongoing at that point).
Who liked the first series will also like this one.
