Review here.

Sweden’s newest vampire flick, Let the Right One In (Låt den rätte komma in, also the title of the book it is based on), tears away from the cheap trinkets that have cheapened American vampires for years. Instead of a ridiculous dark romance or a soulless action thriller, the film is the tender, terrifying, and frigidly melancholy story of growing up and finding the dearest things in life, whatever their terrible forms. In a fashion befitting of its wispy vampire, Let the Right One In also crept by, deft as smoke, unnoticed by all but the fortunate few.

Review here.

Though the mythological reference may fly past some, Ovid’s legend of Dryope is a tale of tragedy, blood-gushing flowers, and tree-hugging. Theatre Suburbia’s newest production, Dryope and Iole, delves into family secrets, filial love, and a few poplar trees. How do these time-crossed stories compare? Dryope and Iole features a talented cast and more pronounceable names, but Ovid’s packs far more originality.
