Let The Right One In

0:22LeeRight right we are now officially recording. Right exciting shake your tits it's Friday. So

0:29ChrisIs that a phrase?

0:31LeeI used to work with a woman who always used to say it.

0:35ChrisI like it I'm writing it down.

0:41UnknownOh she's not listening

0:45ChrisThis is the best bit.

0:46LeeI normally leave all this preamble in.

0:48UnknownDo you?

0:49ChrisYeah shake your tits it's Friday that's the new that's the new welcome to horror slogan that is.

0:55LeeAll over it.

0:56ChrisYeah we t-shirts with it a lot.

1:00LeeGood evening and welcome to horror I'm Lee.

1:03ChrisI'm Chris.

1:04AdamI am Adam.

1:06UnknownI'm Jennifer.

1:07LeeThat's right we are joined by lady Jennifer as this is her birthday pick it'd be wrong for her not to be here really. so for our main feature this evening we watched the absolute stone cold classic that is let the right one in.

1:27LeeI'm so I was like a proud parent when Jennifer said

1:31ChrisOh I get to make a birthday choice and I was like oh shit.

1:35LeeYeah of course she can and he said can we watch let the right one in and I was like oh yes yes yes

1:42UnknownListeners know I don't sound like that.

1:45ChrisOh I was just thinking how perfect an impersonation

1:50UnknownWhat's wrong with your ears?

1:52ChrisYou never hear yourself as you sound.

1:53UnknownWhat's wrong with your mouth?

1:57ChrisIn in my head I sound I've got a lot of really thick Mexican accent so

2:03Chrisit's a surprise when I hear this episode back like who's that?

2:10Leebut yes so before we get stuck into this although we're all I'm sure very excited to discuss it. Chris have you had the opportunity I know it's short because we're recording early so don't feel under pressure but have you had the opportunity at all to watch anything in the last week?

2:31ChrisYes let me just switch my Wi-Fi because it's going a bit funny one second. And I'm back am I back?

2:38UnknownNo.

2:39ChrisNo you still

2:41LeeBack in the room.

2:42ChrisI'm back I'm back now.

2:44AdamIt's still it's still a sad clown icon.

2:46ChrisOh no come on come on I'm shaking my phone do something. There we go there we go. Right so yes of course of course I watched something amazing and so perfect once again it was Eli Roth's history of horror I skipped an episode and went straight to the vampire one knowing knowing a little bit about this film but not a lot.

3:13ChrisAnd and I was even careful when it when they suddenly mentioned let the right one in the masterpiece as they called it. I for stop quick and I stopped it.

3:24ChrisSo I'll tell you what they did cover though and you can see what you think. They they first all talked about Dracula Mhm.

3:33LeeCarl

3:33ChrisNot a big surprise they started with Bella Lugosi.

3:36AdamOh.

3:37ChrisThen and so I haven't seen any of these. I've only heard him mentioned one or 10,000 times. So so we're left to look forward to.

3:48AdamI don't think we've done Oh no he was in the Wolf Man.

3:52ChrisOh was he?

3:54AdamHe was he was the gypsy called Bella.

3:56UnknownBella yeah.

3:59ChrisSo but he didn't have a big part there was he was only in it for Was it five minutes?

4:04AdamYeah yeah.

4:05ChrisAll right but yeah fair enough okay. Now Bella Lugosi as Dracula didn't have fangs I learned.

4:12AdamNo.

4:12ChrisNo you never see any fangs.

4:14AdamNo and then Christopher Lee ramped it up a bit he had fangs and he was a bit sexy bit erotic. That that was the paradigm shift at that point then

4:29ChrisYeah he shags my basement.

4:33LeeIs that Claire Loxham doesn't she?

4:35AdamShe does actually yes.

4:37LeeSo she'll be excited if we ever watch

4:39AdamClaire is very fond of Christopher Lee. Christopher Lee.

4:44ChrisYeah.

4:45AdamCould you put back on the phone please?

4:50ChrisThen we had Bram Stoker's Dracula from

4:54Adam92

4:55ChrisCoppola yeah oh Francis Ford Coppola yeah.

4:58LeeCoppola yeah.

4:59AdamWith Gary Oldman.

5:01ChrisGary Oldman yeah.

5:02UnknownWinona Ryder.

5:02LeeNow Keanu Reeves.

5:04ChrisYes yeah now I've only seen a bit of it I would like to watch the whole film because I showed some clips and it looks great. I don't know why well you're not a fan Lee

5:14LeeI'm I'm shaking my head violently.

5:17UnknownI guess in comparison to all the better vampire films out there but you know I mean it's a classic and I think it's got its place.

5:24ChrisAll right but that's got Gary Oldman.

5:26LeeIt has.

5:27AdamI think the only thing that goes against it is calling it Bram Stoker's Dracula.

5:32LeeYeah.

5:32ChrisAnd adding loads of stuff that ain't there because it's really French.

5:37LeeOne of the furthest from the original source material and then calling it Bram Stoker's Dracula.

5:42ChrisWell okay.

5:43UnknownThe Keanu Reeves.

5:45LeeWell no when I Keanu Reeves terribly recast but that's not against Keanu Reeves like

5:50ChrisHe's still awesome.

5:51LeeIt

5:51UnknownIt should just be

5:53ChrisBut maybe not he's just

5:58UnknownOne of the Wicks.

5:59LeeJoe Wick little skinny bloke with long hair

6:02ChrisYeah yeah Joe Wick is never shot anyone because they shot his dog. Carl

6:06AdamHe can't and he can't say he can't say Wesley Snipes either.

6:12AdamNo seriously look it up he's a right prick of himself.

6:16ChrisWell more so.

6:18LeeMore of a Bella

6:19AdamYeah.

6:20ChrisAre we still talking about Joe Wick?

6:22LeeYes.

6:23ChrisExercise guy I still I quite like him.

6:26LeeOf course you do.

6:27ChrisYeah he's he's all right. Why why don't we like him what's he done wrong?

6:33LeeHe's just a little bit positive and a bit happy.

6:40ChrisYeah but that but that that is good when you're trying to get kids to do exercise.

6:44UnknownYeah.

6:45AdamHe did punch my grandmother in the tank.

6:50AdamNow that's not true but it would explain how I feel. So yeah.

6:56UnknownMaybe we could start that rumour Adam and see if it carries on.

6:58AdamYeah yeah.

7:00ChrisShe's so

7:02AdamShe'd been dead five years as well sick bastard.

7:06ChrisNow that's getting more on topic.

7:10ChrisSo right so so Bram Stoker's Dracula he changed to become a bit of a tragic character that was a a new element. you know so that's good and then Anne Rice which I'm also assuming Lee's not a big fan of.

7:28AdamNo

7:29UnknownYeah.

7:30ChrisWell I really liked him in Queen of the Vampire. And that's possibly one of the better roles that Tom Cruise I mean Tom Cruise does do a good job in films just not in real life.

7:42UnknownHe generally does as an actor I've got time for him just not as a

7:44ChrisYeah he does.

7:47AdamBeing a being

7:51Unknownactor not being human the rest of the time it'd be okay.

7:54LeeMy my downfall with Anne Rice is my downfall my problem with Anne Rice should I say sorry is that yes that she did interview the vampire and then all of this as as we'll talk about

8:07ChrisYeah.

8:08Leemine and Adam's hatred of Sexy Drac came from there and that's why I written vampire movies off for an entire decade pretty much.

8:17ChrisSexy Drac Sexy Drac get off my back.

8:21LeeIt was terrible.

8:21ChrisI wrote songs about it Chris.

8:23AdamWell well I did

8:26ChrisBeing a bit of a goth in the teen years I quite liked it.

8:29AdamSee the worst part for me is I actually liked interview with the vampire then I read the book

8:35ChrisOh wait now

8:36AdamAnd that pissed me off slightly.

8:36ChrisNow that's interesting.

8:39AdamAnd and then I read whatever the follow-up the vampire Lesat and at that point I was I was ready to like blind someone with a soldering iron.

8:43ChrisYeah.

8:47ChrisWell I see that's funny because because I thought the books were awesome. I thought they got better and better and they got more into philosophy and more into like time and it just got crazy.

8:57AdamIt's just when Lesat suddenly becomes Marilyn Manson.

9:01ChrisSo I don't I don't actually remember the book Lesat someone

9:02AdamWrite up my tunes that this

9:04ChrisRight yeah.

9:05LeeI I sort of think I think I'm thinking of Memnoch the son. It's been a long time.

9:09ChrisOh yeah there is Memnoch the destroyer or something Memnoch the devil.

9:13AdamYeah but I'm I'm sure I seem to remember them getting a lot deeper than interview did and yeah I was impressed with it I mean again you know I read it when I was quite young.

9:23LeeWell the Queen of the Damned one of those as well

9:26AdamYes.

9:26LeeYeah and that's a massive pile of steaming dog shit.

9:29UnknownI don't know if that was Queen of the film though not

9:31ChrisNo the film wasn't great but the book I still would say as far as I remember it was excellent. I'll have to re-read it one day.

9:38AdamI don't think I ever got to Queen of the Damned actually I think I just got stopped reading the vampire Lesat I was like quit at that point.

9:41ChrisOh okay well that's that's

9:46ChrisSo you're you're a you're an early quitter.

9:49AdamYeah.

9:50LeeWith Anne Rice I think to be on chapter three is quite an achievement to be honest.

9:50UnknownI'll take it all the way.

9:54UnknownWell I would give it he is upstairs you can borrow it and give it a read and

9:58LeeI haven't got time to read stuff I care about I'm never going to read anything

10:02AdamYeah.

10:03ChrisAll right well anyway so so that was that was you know sexy romantic quite a bit of gay culture in there then we got True Blood. So what's what's the view on that?

10:17LeeSame same fair enough.

10:18UnknownI I liked that I read some of the books but again it was more veering to the oh let's get women involved in horror perhaps you know because it's a bit more about the relationships and the you know a bit more like a soap opera but with vampires so it was entertaining but I can Lee is making the decision making the decision.

10:34ChrisAll right well

10:39ChrisWell now

10:40AdamIt was when you said soap opera and I just lost the will to live I was because I'll I'll be honest I've never seen True Blood I kind of assumed it wasn't my thing but I've never like I can't speak against it having never seen it but I'm kind of assuming that it weren't going to be up my street.

10:55ChrisNo I'm I'm getting a bit mixed up with all the True films we've got True Romance True Lies and True Blood and True Blood

11:01LeeYeah I'm nothing like one another in any way shape or form.

11:05ChrisTrue Romance

11:07AdamTrue Romance is Tony Scott directing Quentin Tarantino's first script True Lies is Arnold Schwarzenegger and what's

11:15UnknownIt's mine yeah.

11:16Adamand Jamie Lee Curtis and Tom Arnold as spies and Art Malik jumps on a Harrier jump jet. And then there's True Blood so I think there is a sort of there's essentially a lot of differences.

11:30ChrisWhat's the one that Lee likes?

11:32LeeTrue Lies.

11:33ChrisTrue Lies.

11:35LeeIt's a 90s movie from the 80s it's awesome.

11:38ChrisFair enough.

11:38AdamIs that is I am sure that's 90s because I saw that at the bloody cinema.

11:41LeeIt ain't 90s oh it ain't 90s you're right sorry yeah but one you know when he was still like punching justice into the face of anybody you'd stand still on her.

11:49AdamYeah.

11:49ChrisWell well now

11:50AdamIt's when he rides a horse in a lift that's when it's the

11:54UnknownLee I've got no problem with any of that or jumping onto a jump jet like I I I I I think it's all fantastic it it's lunacy obviously but

12:00AdamIt's all good.

12:03AdamYeah.

12:04LeeIt's

12:05ChrisExcept for lunacy.

12:06AdamYeah.

12:08ChrisAll right now now I'm going to get you really excited the next one up was Lost Boys.

12:12UnknownYay.

12:13AdamUh-huh.

12:14LeeGood movie.

12:15ChrisYeah yeah but but they do have a bit of dark sexy elements in it. Just it's not too much.

12:23AdamIt doesn't become the driving force of it I don't think.

12:25ChrisNo.

12:26LeeYeah.

12:26AdamI think there's a it's clearly there's a lot of vampiric eye candy for the ladies. But it's not like it's not like

12:38ChrisThat's not the main yeah.

12:39AdamYeah it's not oh don't you feel sorry for him because they get to remain young and live forever and like kill people with impunity no I don't I think you're unlucky cunt.

12:50ChrisNow I thought it's funny Joel Joel Schumacher said he didn't want to make excuses for the movie he just wanted to make the best teenage vampire film ever or die trying fair play I think he probably probably achieved that.

13:03LeeI think he did a very good job.

13:04AdamYeah.

13:05ChrisYeah. now it's interesting right who's Mick Garris?

13:12AdamMick Garris is a film director who's done he gathered together the masters of horror and he he's directed quite a few sort of bits and pieces but quite a few Stephen King adaptations actually.

13:31Chrisokay.

13:32AdamWhat's that?

13:33ChrisOh that makes sense well he's he's commented I think on in every episode so far and I thought I've heard the name I might be mixing it with Mark Garris but you know

13:42AdamI I I think I think weirdly enough I think you're in the right ballpark in a way in so much as much in the same way as you couldn't get rid of Mark Garris if you were if you were doing a documentary about horror in the UK you would not be able to stop Mark Garris from being in it I see no matter how hard you try and I think Mick Garris would be much the same for an American audience.

14:08UnknownYeah.

14:08AdamI think he would definitely be he you know he's he's out there

14:13ChrisHe's been there.

14:14AdamYeah.

14:15LeeHe's done some he has done some cracking films though just checking his filmography here because I've got to admit I didn't recognise the name yeah Hocus Pocus the Fly two and Critters two so you know

14:28AdamYeah oh yeah no he was yeah he did

14:30UnknownAnd Critters included.

14:32ChrisAll right.

14:33LeeYeah.

14:34UnknownHow don't you say?

14:34LeeHow don't you say and he is

14:35ChrisI think I should watch that.

14:36AdamAre you sure you're not look you're not looking

14:37LeeHe did Writers.

14:39Chrisno it's directors you people looking

14:42AdamIn his directors bit.

14:44LeeOh he's got even more in directors so

14:47UnknownHey Critters two still Freddy's Nightmares.

14:50AdamYeah.

14:51LeeYeah.

14:52AdamHe def- definitely did

14:54UnknownAll the Stand Stephen King

14:55AdamHe did the Shining like the TV version of the Shining he did

14:56UnknownOh yeah.

15:00UnknownHappy Town

15:00LeeOh Happy Town which we really liked he yeah he directed one episode.

15:05UnknownYeah lots of good stuff.

15:07LeeYeah.

15:08ChrisFair play.

15:09UnknownYeah.

15:10ChrisUp next we've got Fright Night.

15:12LeeYes.

15:13AdamWhich we've covered.

15:14ChrisYes.

15:15LeeEpisode

15:18AdamOh Rice knows.

15:20ChrisDon't know.

15:21LeeThat's pretty what we like fucking episode there's no point in asking me what

15:24UnknownLook in the comments below and someone would have

15:28LeeThey want

15:28ChrisAnd then

15:28LeePeople should have means Carl tell everyone listen.

15:31ChrisOh that's true then we got Near Dark I don't think they mentioned much about that.

15:35LeeLove it.

15:36AdamFuck them then.

15:37ChrisYeah well well so is this might have been

15:39UnknownSit there talk about bleeding True Blood and you don't get much from here though.

15:41ChrisWell this could have been made and distracted a little bit at this point but I haven't written much about it but then they have got Dust till Dawn which they they didn't mention too much about as well but they did say that the vampire makeup was a bit different than we'd seen previously.

15:57LeeYeah.

15:58ChrisYou know and apparently they had green blood in order to get past certification.

16:04AdamYeah that that dates back to

16:05ChrisThere's a lot of green blood and it's all right.

16:08AdamThat dates back to Evil Dead.

16:10LeeYeah.

16:10Chrisyes yes

16:11AdamLike where they were meant to have blood running through all the walls and everything and then they just chased different colours and yeah.

16:13ChrisYeah. Yeah.

16:19AdamThey're fine with that because it's not recognisable as blood.

16:22ChrisYeah. And then they they talked a bit about the the different roles of each different vampire story film you know not everyone picks or or uses all of the roles you can sort of choose which ones you want.

16:35LeeYeah.

16:38Chrisalthough a lot of them do seem to accept stakes as a a way to kill and sunlight.

16:44AdamYeah.

16:45LeeOne of the things I watched this eve I watched and I'll be covering in a bit yeah was a a vampire movie from China and their roles are totally different so yeah.

16:57AdamWas it Mr. Vampire?

16:58LeeBut it was Mr. Vampire yeah.

17:00AdamOh they're bringing that out on Cry terion or no Eureka I think

17:05UnknownThey are

17:06Adamand I am buying that.

17:07LeeHe's like best part of 30 quid but

17:10AdamOh yeah no I'm but I'm still getting involved yeah.

17:13LeeAbsolute masterpiece sorry Chris.

17:17ChrisFair enough well I look forward to hearing that and and that was it then they mentioned let the right one in and I jumped for the stop button.

17:24LeeI would probably in between that I would have put 30 days of night I think was possibly one of the let me double check the date.

17:32AdamI think it's 30 days of night later.

17:36LeeI am

17:36AdamBecause I think the comic

17:38Leespeak

17:39AdamBecause I think the comic's quite early but the film is later than let the right one in I think.

17:43LeeOh it's the year before 2007

17:45ChrisOh right okay sorry.

17:47Leeyeah because that's what I was going to say when you were saying about vampire movies and I I mentioned Anne Rice she had put me off of vampire movies and I think the only good vampire movie that I remember seeing between interview with the vampire and let the right one in was 30 days of night and that totally blew me away that movie so

18:10ChrisOh okay.

18:11LeeYeah that's a that's a good film we'll have to cover at some point. but yeah but it's good that it it does get the kudos it deserves let the right one in on yeah on that type of a list I I don't feel that you could do this show and miss this film.

18:30Leefor vampire movie certainly.

18:31UnknownFeel like doing a podcast and missing out until someone says let's do it.

18:36LeeShut your poor mouth.

18:39ChrisI can I can honestly say I think that the merest concept that there is any form of organisation behind this whatsoever.

18:48UnknownI did try and I gave up just heard

18:51ChrisYeah oh oh Cats is topical.

18:54LeeOh yes yeah.

18:56UnknownWe've got that in a minute yeah.

18:57LeeWe will so Adam have you ventured into the horrory world of TV or cinema since our last meeting?

19:06Adamonly thing I've caught up with the latest on I think there's two episodes left of the second series of what we do in the Shadows.

19:14LeeYes.

19:15AdamWhich is which is still fantastic I've now seen the Mark Hamill episode.

19:19LeeOh yes.

19:20AdamSo I'm very happy about that. and actually not a not a horror book I did finish reading Lovecraft Country.

19:32LeeOh nice yes I saw that on Instagram yes.

19:34AdamAnd yeah that I'm I really want to see I really enjoyed the book I really want to see what they're going to do with the TV version because there's enough basically I do trust you know Jordan Peele and J.J.

19:51AdamAbrams to not fuck it up. You know to to the point of being a polling but I do you know I would I want to see it and compare it and everything else like that and see what they've changed and stuff.

20:04AdamBut the book the books really the books really good and sort of I would imagine will lend itself to being a TV series because it's kind of like a series of short stories that come together.

20:16AdamWe're not It is it's a proper novel and it's basically like a sort of someone's extended family is the subject of the book and how they're touched by various aspects of weirdness and strangeness that's going on.

20:33Adamand then finally all sort of like ties together at the end but yeah I'd be I'll be really interested to see it because it's very because the point of the thing is is that the book is called Lovecraft Country but that's because someone in it basically the the main one of the main characters in it or the main character and his uncle were both really into sci-fi and horror books.

20:58AdamSo they describe something as being Lovecraft Country because they mistake the county of Aldum they misread it as Arkham at first. And so they're like oh it'll be like Lovecraft Country and they're like I hope not then they go there and it is quite Lovecraft.

21:14AdamSo

21:15UnknownInteresting.

21:15AdamBut yeah so I'd recommend the book and then just yeah now I do I I really am sort of up for seeing the series because I think I think there's enough I think there's enough good material in the book that will turn itself into an episodic series much more so than if you were to adapt it as a film it would probably feel a bit too sort of piecemeal.

21:39AdamBut as a series I can see them really sort of going with it.

21:42UnknownNetflix hello Netflix get calling them you know.

21:45ChrisWell it's HBO and then

21:47LeeOh okay I thought No no no sorry so that's why Adam said so now this wasn't his like Fantasy Football Jordan Peele and J.J. Abrams are working on this season done.

21:56UnknownYeah I thought I thought this was Adam's dream to listen to

22:00LeeNo no no.

22:01ChrisNo no.

22:02LeeIt and I agree I think that I I think both of those are definitely trustable with pretty much any material really they've proved themselves as long as it isn't Jordan Peele's own.

22:15Leeand therefore I think

22:18ChrisRules.

22:20Leebut yeah so I I think he's a fantastic filmmaker and I think between him and Abrams I think they'll be able to bring something that you're this excited about I think they'd be a fantastic pair to work with.

22:30AdamYeah I I'm really I really hope that it becomes you know I hope it becomes a hit because I think it's something that's you know the material the material's there to have an interesting TV show and quite frankly HBO need the money these days.

22:47Adambecause Game Game of Thrones is finished and they've also decided they're not going to do thankfully they're not going to do the various stupid prequels and Suicide Squad versions of Game of Thrones where it's like you know oh well you you didn't know about the time that Sam was hanging around with fucking Tyrion or fuck off.

23:09AdamDidn't happen did it?

23:10LeeThat's cursed and Netflix are already on it.

23:16Leeso I have watched a metric fuck ton of stuff since our last meet I don't quite know how I managed to find time to watch all of this but I have.

23:26Leeso literally following our last epi-

23:29ChrisI had a bit of a spate of insomnia and I managed to watch so which is Brew which we discussed.

23:36AdamOh is that the the 60s version of the 80s version of Night of the Evil?

23:42LeeYes with Terry Gar.

23:43UnknownYeah. Was that a good

23:45LeeYeah. It's very different it is an 80s TV sitcom version it's full comedy pretty much. and it felt like bewitched. So then they take the story and turned it into the the only thing that was missing was a last take.

24:00AdamRight okay.

24:07AdamYeah.

24:07LeeYeah but and the story was different in that and so the three women were all friends and Terry Gar's husband basically so he's looking he's trying to get that promotion same as in Night of the Eagle.

24:21LeeAnd she says right you've got to cover yourself in I think it was like chicken blood and cat's urine or something and sleep outside 12 hours under the moon.

24:30LeeAnd he goes look I've had enough of this witchcraft shit. It's stopping now. I don't care what you and your friends are doing. I you know it all stops now and she says well okay but it's not a good idea.

24:41LeeAnd then basically her friends don't realise that he's let that that she's let down the defences for the pair of them. So all the Ouija that they're doing against him basically gets him into the same trouble effectively.

24:57LeeBecause but they're not doing it maliciously. They're all just trying to so basically the idea is similar that you put out into the universe what you want to get and the universe finds a way of making it doable.

25:09UnknownYeah.

25:10LeeSo because the other two women are doing so much to further their husbands' careers the universe finds the best way of doing that is to totally screw him over.

25:20LeeSo he ends up in a massive mess which is no real fault of his. yeah and there isn't an eagle in it. It is it's a giant like eight foot egg that's outside the university.

25:32Leeand it cracks open and a full on demon comes out.

25:35UnknownRight, okay.

25:37Leebut a lot of it's done in the dark so the fact that it's made for TV cheapness is is kind of hidden. It's fairly entertaining. It's the whole thing's on YouTube.

25:48LeeSo

25:49UnknownOh right, cool.

25:50LeeYeah, it's never been out on DVD so it's VHS quality but that's the best you're going to get it so

25:55UnknownYeah.

25:56LeeIt it's worth an hour and a half of your time. I found it I found it interesting as a to see how differently somebody could handle such material effectively.

26:06UnknownYeah. To get a screwball comedy from what is essentially Night of the Demon Two.

26:11LeeYeah, that's what I mean like if if if you hadn't told me and I'd watched them both separately a couple of weeks apart I would never have said it was the same story.

26:21LeeBut yeah it is interesting. I also watched I tried the new Ju-On Origins that's on Netflix.

26:32UnknownOh yes.

26:34LeeI got three episodes in and bailed out really.

26:40UnknownFair enough. Because that's the grudge, isn't it?

26:43LeeYes, yeah.

26:44UnknownYeah.

26:45LeeSo

26:45UnknownThere's not that much there isn't there really to spin out as a prequel or series.

26:51LeeThey've so they've made so the ghost is already there so basically I think from what I've I've gathered is that the ghost that we get to know is a later ghost who is created in this series from a previous so a previous ghost creates the ghost that we then see who is then grudge.

27:14Leeyeah so basically it's just a bit of a nasty spirit turning a house into like a massive mess of domestic violence and nastiness with not enough supernatural element for me.

27:26LeeAnd behaves in a very strange manner that doesn't seem realistic. and I found it a bit boring so

27:35UnknownFair dos.

27:35LeeSo it's not recommend but I would you know put it out there yeah if you're 50/50 don't bother.

27:44Leeas previously mentioned yeah Mr. Vampire I've been watching. I watched that one and I watched the fourth one as well which is Mr. Vampire Saga.

27:56UnknownOh right, okay.

27:58LeeI unfortunately watched them the wrong way round. I watched Saga first. And it was like it was so for Chris who doesn't know and for our listeners who don't know Mr.

28:10LeeVampire is a series of four movies that started in 1985 in China. and it's comedy horror. It primarily it's

28:25Leeprimarily it's it's comedy but it's about vampires. But yeah it's it's it's got a lot of like kung fu elements and stuff so it's a bit like watching a Jackie Chan movie really.

28:39Leebut with vampires. And their vampires are very different so and as Adam knows in their law they hop they sort of jump. They have they jump everywhere. They don't walk.

28:52UnknownYeah and they and you have the curse or the the holding spell is like a a line of paper attached to their forehead pinned to their heads.

29:02LeeThat's right yeah so if you write in chicken's blood on a piece of paper and slap it on their head it stops them in their tracks.

29:10UnknownIs it like how you hypnotise rabbits? Where you sort of have to I don't know pull them along a line their head and their eyes and then they hypnotise No that's how you hypnotise chickens.

29:19UnknownApparently you have to hypnotise rabbits by dazzling them in a bright light. Oh there you go. Lucky I didn't try that one out. Because there's there's a weird thing apparently this thing called lampers.

29:32UnknownAnd lampers are I mean I don't know if you can count it as hunting but it's people who go out with like spotlights. Oh and hypnotise the Hypno hypnotise rabbit and then shoot it and take it home too.

29:43UnknownCheating.

29:44LeeOh yeah lazy hunting there.

29:46UnknownThat is not really hunting. I I wouldn't count it as

29:50Leeyeah and the other thing in the movies is if you have you seen Adam?

29:55UnknownI've seen I've yes I've seen oh no. Is it Mr. I think I've seen Mr. Vampire Two.

30:03Leewhich which I am I've ordered it and he's yet to come so that is they find a family. so it's basically a man, woman and child and they find their coffins and they're like ancient so they're bringing them to a museum or something and the paper falls off so they'll to life.

30:21UnknownYeah. It it gets really It gets really

30:25LeeUnfinished stories.

30:27UnknownIt gets really quite sort of it it gets sort of farcical because it's like the paper the paper drops off one who starts moving and then it comes off another one but then they stick the other one back on.

30:40UnknownAnd it like you know someone's just not noticing that they're it gets a bit like Abbott and Costello meet Frankenstein like the early bits in the wax museum. It's like this guy doesn't realise that he keeps dropping the paper off and activating them and then he puts it back on and then I was very pleased that that was I got very excited in the Ouija episode of what we do in the Shadows because a Chinese hopping vampire Yeah.

31:05UnknownYeah turned up. And yeah but no Mr. Vampire are like they I didn't realise there was four actually. I knew there was I knew there was I knew there was at least three.

31:16Unknownbut yeah I know and I definitely want to I definitely want to get the the release of one.

31:26LeeYeah.

31:27UnknownWhen it's on its way outside yeah. Adam you weren't very

31:30LeeDemon now. Yeah it wasn't intentional. He was scratching his ear.

31:35UnknownOh sorry.

31:38Leebut yeah is it but so I watched the fourth one and I thought right it was fun and I really enjoyed it but I didn't get what was going on so I thought that's all right because I've got the first one as well so I'll go back and I'll watch the first one and then it all makes sense.

31:51LeeAnd it doesn't. So because what confused me is so the Taoist

31:59Leemaster basically goes out into the forest for days on end with a load of vampires who he has who have all got this piece of paper stuck on their head so they have to follow his instructions.

32:10LeeAnd he just hops through the forest with them. And they do this in the fourth one so I thought that doesn't make any sense. I don't understand but that's all right because I'll go back and rewatch the first one and it all makes sense.

32:21LeeAnd the first one is exactly the same. He just at the beginning goes I'm going out with my legion of vampires and out they go. And that's it. You don't see them getting to but yeah the other the other facet that they've got I've never seen before if you hold your breath the vampire can't see you.

32:39LeeSo as long as you hold your breath you're invisible.

32:42UnknownExcellent. And that's what you're saying about the rules. That's a an unusual one. There are there are so many because I think I've said about it before but there's the thing about putting if you steal a vampire's sock put garlic in it and throw it in a river or something like that.

32:58LeeYeah.

33:00Unknownthe other things are so if you get bitten by a vampire you can suck the evil out by putting dry sticky rice in the wound and it sucks the poison out.

33:10LeeOh like if you drop your iPhone in the toilet.

33:12UnknownExactly yeah.

33:13LeeYeah.

33:14UnknownThat's probably how they found out about the iPhone. Somebody died in if you watch the vampire

33:18LeeLike if you were going to extract the evil from an iPhone That would be like in Poltergeist Two when he throws up half a man.

33:27UnknownRight in in the urine where you dropped it in the toilet. I know just the evil that Apple is.

33:35Leeyeah and then so there's the rice thing and they can't walk on sticky rice either. And if

33:41UnknownWho can?

33:42LeeYeah, that's much.

33:44UnknownAnd if you get bitten by a vampire the the poison can only take effect if you stay still because it makes your limbs solid. So as long as you keep dancing for long enough for the rice to take effect Is this all just made up for this comedy?

34:03UnknownBecause I don't see how the dancing could be humorous. No I don't see how the dancing could be humorous.

34:06LeeIf I think this is more Chinese law that we don't know about for the Chinese vampire.

34:11UnknownIt it's definitely it'd definitely be something worth looking into because there is a lot of I know certainly there's a lot of extremely strange stuff in like in Japanese myths as well and Chinese legends and you know they do have they have a similar sort of there's just a I don't know what it is.

34:36UnknownIt's just a it's well I do know what it is. It's an utterly different culture creating a myth and yeah you just get so many sort of strange what well what would seem strange to us but it's probably perfectly natural to have hopping vampires coming around your gaff you know if you're expecting it.

34:57UnknownBut like you say I think I think that's the point as well like you say it's I think it is part of Chinese vampire law in so much as there's no explanation for it within the films.

35:11UnknownBecause they don't need to explain it because they don't Because they don't need to explain it much in the same way as it's like why is he wearing a cape?

35:17UnknownHe's a vampire. Come on. You know.

35:20LeeYeah so it is very much so but yeah I mean it was as I I found it entertaining so they were all good. yes but I've waffled on long enough now so let's get into this evening's main film.

35:33UnknownOne point before you do even though it links very highly I will have to mention that Adam Adam Law did send us the article about a vampire hunting kit that had gone up for auction.

35:44LeeYeah I did see that. Yes.

35:46UnknownYeah, a lovely little

35:48LeeI saw a couple of those.

35:49UnknownYeah I'm going to I'll post it on I'll post it on the on the Instagram so people can see it. This beautiful little box with a pistol and a miniature Bible and weirdly enough a vial of shark's teeth.

36:03Unknownand I am not I'm not too sure about spending three grand on this box because I know for a fact that there is a vending machine in Cambridge that has shark's teeth in it.

36:14UnknownOh. Well because I got some. Oh. Seriously it's the the Cambridge like Natural History Museum or something like that and they just yeah they just had you know like the gumball machines or like little yeah and yeah one of the things they had was shark's teeth so yeah that's all I have to say.

36:29LeeSo so you can put them in your mouth and pretend to be a vampire.

36:33UnknownNo no no it's just so I can go hey I've got some shark's teeth and people go really and then you realise oh yeah we're not eight anymore. So no one's ever come round and been impressed by my shark's teeth.

36:45LeeI was thinking more for the Vampire Hunter. Why is it in the kit?

36:48UnknownYes, I have no idea. It's probably you know maybe it's like the opposite of powdered rhino horn. You know that's that's that's supposed to sort of that's supposed to be an aphrodisiac maybe something like powdered shark's teeth.

37:01UnknownEveryone knows vampires hate it.

37:01LeeOh is that?

37:03UnknownYeah. Not not only that but also sharks famous for their love of garlics so they're probably quite tainted. You know because woe betide you that you don't serve garlic bread with yourself when a shark attacks you.

37:16UnknownOff off Bondi Beach. Eat bread a lot. Well yeah. Keeps the that keeps the vampires and the sharks away.

37:21LeeThere you go.

37:22UnknownYeah.

37:24Leeyes so Chris what did you on your first viewing of this film? What did you make of let the right one in?

37:32UnknownIt's a very I'd say deep film.

37:38Unknownyou know almost the the vampiric side of it didn't necessarily need to be there. And yeah obviously that does add large part to it. so like yeah I definitely enjoyed it.

37:54UnknownI would say

37:57Unknownyou might need to go over the story just to make sure that I fully understood it.

38:04Leeso a strange boy who is is finds it difficult to make friends.

38:09UnknownGet alone that yeah. Yeah. I blame his ear cup.

38:13LeeYeah I do as well. befriend a small quote unquote girl that we'll get into that later because that's a whole mess. who moves in near him. It later transpires that she is a vampire and the man who we think is her father is actually her familiar who goes out murdering people for to bring blood back so that she doesn't get caught.

38:40Leeand he befriends her and she ultimately helps him out with his

38:46UnknownRelease

38:47Leedifficultness.

38:47UnknownDifficult is yeah.

38:49Leeyeah and then like it transpires that he's just as helpful to her.

38:53UnknownYeah so so that's what I thought was happening that she essentially befriends and I imagine it's normally a lonely boy who's potentially getting bullied and they fall in love with her and then they become her familiar.

39:10UnknownAnd that's the cycle.

39:12LeeIt is but it's a very it it is strange because that's the thing like the the relationship that she has with the older man at the beginning is very they they effectively is a kind of paedophilic relationship.

39:25UnknownIt is in the book definitely. But that's but that's how it would then become as the boy grows up.

39:29LeeExactly that's the thing so it isn't so that's where why it's and again that's why I find it so thought provoking is the idea that because she doesn't age and he does they both love at the same age but then he ages beyond her and later then it becomes

39:40UnknownYeah. Yeah. Yeah. And at some point he needs to die and she will eat him. Well all also also because I mean that's the because the I mean not sort of like not sort of skipping ahead or anything else like that but I believe that the intention within the film is is that he she was going to turn him into a vampire after everything like after the end of the film is that they were going to go off and turn her into a vampire.

40:19UnknownIn the book it's much more as you say where it's the sort of the entrapment of a familiar almost or it's like you know it's the and frankly you sort of you see the reason why you wouldn't turn someone because two 12 year olds can't really get much done.

40:40LeeYeah.

40:42UnknownNo she was going to turn him. I didn't get that part at all. No I didn't get that impression.

40:46LeeOh no I think this is this is something that they sort of talked about behind the scenes of the film and everything like when they were sort of discussing about you know it's not I don't think it it's certainly it's not within the film.

41:00UnknownNo it's not

41:00LeeAnd yeah and it and it does make more it does make more sense that you'd let someone grow up because frankly the her familiar who she starts off with you know he's an he's an adult man who can therefore you know rent a room without anyone batting an eyelid or he can you know go and do bits and pieces which you know a 12 year old can't sort of really do.

41:32LeeI mean it's even the bit with the even the bit where she goes into the hospital. And she asks about oh you know she where's my when he when he's been captured and burns his face off.

41:46LeeAnd then she's in hospital and then he's in hospital when she comes in. And the best she can do is to just sort of play innocent then leave and then go and do what she rather than you know someone who could come in and I don't know bringing bringing a sense of authority or something like that.

42:03UnknownYeah.

42:03LeeBecause even though she comes in and says she's his daughter there's no way the police are going to take her

42:08Leeto see him or the hospital you do you know what I mean everyone would be more concerned with well what's happening to you and you know we'll get social services which is like the worst

42:13UnknownYeah.

42:17Leepossible fucking scenario. but yeah so but certainly in the book it's much more that it's the the start of a new cycle kind of thing where she you know she's she's got another familiar not necessarily in her thrall but certainly you know he clearly loves her.

42:36UnknownWill it I mean he didn't really have much going for him. No. And then really it was her that gave him inspiration to start going to gym class and and take on the bullies.

42:46LeeYeah.

42:48UnknownOh just as an aside on that how good is the PE teacher? Was it was it Mr. Mr. Alvy or something like I don't remember his name but Yeah.

42:57Unknownhe is just spot on.

42:59LeeYeah.

43:00UnknownDo you know what I mean you know he's just a spot on spot on teacher. It's when he's reading the newspaper when he's lifted away he's struggling with her

43:08Leebeing pressed and he doesn't try and help him. He just carries on reading and stuff.

43:11UnknownYeah classic teacher. That's why I got into his teaching. I thought it just be reading papers a lot but it turns out not anymore.

43:19LeeYeah well

43:19UnknownBurning out fires. Yeah that's it finding dead bodies in the ice you know. I mean that's because funny enough I know like like you when we were talking about it before we were watching it and Lee you'd asked whether Claire was going to watch it with me.

43:38UnknownAnd I was when you said oh no it's actually you know I'm I wasn't sure you know whether it would be something she'd watch. And it hadn't occurred to me because I was kind of like oh there's nothing in this.

43:51UnknownYeah I forgot violent it can be But Yeah but it's it's much more the facts and the thing that Claire said that was the chilling part is the reality of it.

44:04UnknownIn so much as yes it's a vampire film but literally everything else is plausible. Everything plays out.

44:10LeeAnd horrible.

44:12UnknownYeah. And it's you know it's grim in that sort of sense.

44:15LeeYeah. So that you're saying that I was going to bring that up because it surprised me that Lee likes it because for the whole film and this why I was a bit hesitant in how I said I liked it because I did really like it but it was desolate and very reminiscent of an Aronofsky film.

44:34LeeHowever the end is quite uplifting. It's almost the reverse. You know why he so it's like it's quite bad throughout. He's got nothing going on. She's kind of not got much going on.

44:45LeeIt's bad for all of them. But then yeah obviously she helps him at the end but even that is a bit you know it's it's good for him. He's now got you know a purpose in life and he feels good about it but

44:57UnknownBut it might not be for him actually.

44:59Leefor for his purpose in life is murdering people.

45:01UnknownYeah yeah so exactly so it's not like ultimately it's not fantastic and and obviously the boys that were bullying him you know

45:06LeeNo.

45:10Unknownthey're all horrible really and not all of them. Some of them were being coerced into it. One of them was Oh but he was all right. He was alive at least.

45:16Unknownstill alive. Yeah Sandy the Sandy Tocksfield one. Yeah he was still alive wasn't he? Yeah.

45:22LeeThe one who looks like Sandy Tocksfield was fine.

45:24UnknownOn the end of the pool at the end yeah. Yeah.

45:26LeeBut but he's not you know where's all the others had been ripped to shreds and

45:30UnknownYeah. I'd just like to say good.

45:33LeeWell it's point.

45:34UnknownBecause because I know I know we should be you know we should be nicer about this sort of thing and yes children are murdered but I can't imagine we've we ain't lost you know.

45:45UnknownWe didn't lose a cure for cancer. We didn't lose you know a great humanitarian or anything else like that. Just some little trinkets. They were they were just going to grow up to be pricks.

45:55LeeYeah.

45:56UnknownAnd and the brother is perfect example of that. He's very much older and he's still just a knob. He's not he's not progressed anywhere.

46:02LeeYeah.

46:05UnknownI think

46:05LeeIt's actually some something else that and this goes back to weirdly enough to Nightmare on Elm Street Two Freddy's Revenge. I think that also the fact that you've got two 12 year old well someone who has the body of a 12 year old and a 12 year old played by 12 year olds.

46:22UnknownYeah.

46:22LeeI think that helps rather than the sort of American high school you know 48 year old high school senior. You know it it it's certainly not the Grease effect.

46:34LeeYou know they're actually they do look like kids which sort of makes it again again the you know makes it so much more real. They've done they I mean frankly those all all the kid actors not just like Oscar and Ellie.

46:51LeeBut like all the kids in the class and the bullies and everything else like that they're so good.

46:57UnknownYeah.

46:57LeeThey are really really good actors.

46:59UnknownI don't think there's a single performance in this that lets it down from any even people with much smaller roles. I just thought it it was even down to that was the other thing I said the alternative title for this should have been Vampires versus Winos.

47:15UnknownBecause they're all winos who are

47:17LeeYeah.

47:18UnknownVersus winos with cats.

47:20LeeYeah.

47:20UnknownYeah.

47:21LeeLike even them they're so realistic. They're so believable. They're just they're just fantastic performances for

47:30UnknownBut but that additional bit with the the woman who gets turned but then just wants to die. You know like it it's all a tragedy really.

47:41LeeOh there's there's no basically I mean from what I can't remember. I tried to find the bloody article and I couldn't for the life of me. I bet I know where it is.

47:53LeeMy DVD copy of this has an exclusive little White Lies magazine in it which is just all about the thing. Maybe I should have looked in there rather than searching online but I know that because the film's set in '82 and apparently it was like proper that was Sweden had like a a serious unemployment problem.

48:20LeeAnd so the the group of like you say like the group of winos. And even the dad where like you know the dodgy yeah with the dodgy like Frankenstein's reimagining of Kevin Eldon turns up.

48:36UnknownI'd always taken that that his father had left his mother and that was a game. No, I took it there possibly a game Yeah, it did look like that.

48:47UnknownSo his mate comes over and encourages him to drink which obviously

48:49LeeYeah, which upsets us And weirdly enough this is the first first time watching this as a dad and for the first time I've been like I was being a judgmental prick.

49:02LeeIn that I was like oh fuck you mate off you look at his face the poor little cunt you know because you can see because you can see that like Oscar's like having he's just spending time with his dad.

49:14LeeAnd then like say Frankenstein's Eldon turns up and suddenly yeah suddenly it's like oh no look we've got guests we've got guests dig out the vodka you know and yeah

49:26UnknownAnd drink it in massive shots they just straight just yeah

49:32LeeBut I think so yeah I mean that's the thing is there's no one in this in a good place.

49:38UnknownNo, no I agree with you there Chris I think it has got an almost Aranofsky type everything is grim everybody's life is shit. And the only good thing is the vampire that kills people ruthlessly as as as a requirement to survive.

49:56UnknownYeah, that's the irony perhaps.

50:00LeeI mean I have to I have to admire the familiars like going out kit. Yeah, you know funnel, bottle, gas mask you know

50:13LeeI I love that that it's so sort of like homemade as well where it's like this sort of briefcase with the false front and everything but it's it's basically it does have the feeling of you did say to your dad can you build a murder kit and like your middle-aged dad did that's what it feels like it's like it's someone someone who's got a shed and all the and the tools are all outlined on the wall.

50:44LeeIt's got that sort of feeling to it and he's just built a very nice sort of yeah quick quick exsanguination kit which

50:55Leehe was coming to the end of his usefulness wasn't he really?

51:00UnknownAgain in the book it doesn't sound like he's been particularly useful up to this point sound like they've been together as you said like maybe for the boy very much was picked up as an older man and it sort of says you know he's had two failures already and then this is his sort of last chance to kind of prove himself and obviously it fails as well and he ends up with the acid and yeah Yeah.

51:28UnknownSo I think it's probably time to address the elephant in the room really which is the strange sexuality of of Ellie. And so Ellie is very much a a girl or appears to be.

51:42UnknownIn the movie there's a very quick scene where we see she says I'm not a girl in an early and you take that to being because she's Yeah, she's actually yeah yeah But you quick shot when Oscar looks in at her getting changed where she got massive scar.

52:04UnknownAnd if I've got it right from what I vaguely remember from people talking about it when it was released so she was a boy cut her jungle

52:15LeeNo, no it's in I believe it's in the book it's it's well it's definitely in the book they have a flashback that basically Ellie as a young boy was sort of taken to like your classic sort of sexual sadist's castle.

52:39LeeAnd basically

52:42Leecastrated and then turned to remain as a child for this lord.

52:50UnknownOkay.

52:51LeeSo and it's like it's it's very sort of like lot say I mean Jennifer thank you you bought me the book many Christmases ago I think it was like that year or whatever but because you'd read it yourself and but yeah and so in the book there is a long flashback where they sort of explain that but essentially yeah Ellie has Ellie has been was a boy who had who was castrated essentially had all her bits cut off.

53:21LeeAnd but she because that's the weird thing she doesn't although although she ostensibly appears as a girl she denies it to what she not denies it but she says to Oscar I'm not a girl a couple of times so it's not even it's weird that it's not necessarily an identification.

53:43LeeAnd it's actually quite sweet where Oscar's like well doesn't matter Yeah. Yeah. He just wants a mate you know he just wants a friend or you know which is very sweet.

53:54UnknownAnd that's the thing and you do feel for him at times but he's such a horrible weird little fucker. What when he's talking to a tree and stabbing it.

54:03UnknownBut that's that's his way of trying to you know stand up to the bullies. Anyway back to the whole she he thing what was interestingly because I kind of skim read back through the book over the last couple of days.

54:14UnknownSo yeah the pronoun she is used throughout until page 425 suddenly she's addressed as he. I I kind of looked back on the lot you know pages I was like have I missed something?

54:31UnknownAnd just suddenly in that last sort of part yeah it's really weird I can't work out I mean I probably need to read it properly again but literally kind of right at the end

54:41LeeThey sort of they sort of switch over

54:42UnknownIsn't that isn't that after the reveal then? No, not particularly. It's not after the bit where where he's after the bit obviously where she said I'm not a girl but it's not sort of directly after because it's literally the last sort of that little chunk of the book there.

54:57LeeYeah.

54:58UnknownSee and that's what I love about this is there's so much for a film that's so short there is so much depth in this in this movie. And as you say and the depth of the characters as well so like Oscar you follow Oscar and you don't dislike him but he's weird and he's friends with him at school definitely not because he is the kind of kid who would one day stab someone for no reason.

55:26UnknownBut that's probably because he's got no friends.

55:35LeeYeah, that's weird

55:40UnknownYeah. It's an odd thing isn't it and you just like why are you doing that but it so perfectly embodies that loner weirdo you know and you don't like you don't hate him but you feel a bit repulsed by him you know No.

55:55UnknownThey I one of the notes I've got here is too much snot with three He's always got snot on his face always.

56:03LeeIt is it is a cold country though I do wonder.

56:07UnknownBut the others didn't have that.

56:11UnknownAnd again this kid actor is absolutely perfect. I just and the thing is you only need one week linking a film like this and it spoils it and it drags you out of it.

56:23UnknownAnd and to have so many kid actors and as you said Adam from alter to yeah just bring such a fantastic performance to this is yeah nothing short of brilliant.

56:34LeeI I think everyone weirdly enough and also now now we're sort of discussing it it's interesting how much of it is

56:44Leebackstory that you that you aren't spoon-fed. You know you you it basically it's an intelligent film that treats you with the intelligence to be like all right so I that so he's his mom and dad have split up and you know it's but you don't need to create like you know it doesn't needs exposition on

57:11UnknownYeah.

57:11LeeYeah.

57:12Unknowntell you all this stuff I think that's quite refreshing because you do watch it and maybe that why it's more believable because you don't normally have someone in real life turning to the camera Explaining everything this so that's that's why you you buy into the characters so much.

57:26UnknownAre you drinking the game Dave? You know that's why mom left you don't so just

57:32LeeExactly. We've got but we've got a lovely level of ambivalence there I mean the the director went on to do Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy which I fucking loved but I know it wasn't necessarily to everyone's taste.

57:50LeeBut it's but again I think it was suited weirdly enough I think it was suited because it was that same thing of everything in Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy is kind of washed out and used.

58:03LeeEverything is very sort of like it's very much fag end of the 60s sort of brown wallpaper sort of feel to it and I think yeah he brought that you know I think that's the that you can definitely see as a through line from this.

58:21LeeFunnily enough I hadn't actually remembered until I was it was a bit earlier actually not earlier today. the there's the film that I 've spoken about on here before Boulder which is the film about the troll who works for customs.

58:38LeeThat

58:39UnknownThat sounded interesting.

58:40LeeWell that is based on a short story by the author of Let the Right One In. So it's one of yeah one of his John Ajvide Lindqvist which I probably said really insultingly so I do I do apologize John.

59:03Leeyeah and but that seems to be because he he did another book which was about

59:10Leewhich was like a a zombie story but again like I say Boulder obviously is the one about the troll working for the customs. And it's it weird thinking about it now that makes perfect sense although it's a different director for Boulder story-wise it has it feels in that same sort of way where it's basically right right here's the real world here's this supernatural or folkloric element that abuts into it.

59:42LeeBut it's still everything feels real.

59:45UnknownYeah.

59:46LeeAnd there's no basically it's the thing of no the world is still the same world that it is it just these things are in it without necessarily like oh well that means you've got to rethink the entire way that the world works you know but it's it's not one of those films where it's like oh well you know it's set in an alternate 1938 vampires have been recognized since 1838 and yeah you know so Count Dracula was Prime Minister for six years and co-consort to Queen Victoria who herself is now undead so yeah it's so I do if you like this I do recommend Boulder again because I think there is there's a lot similar funnily enough it's the same thing of it being you know kind of a fucked up love story essentially.

1:00:38Leealthough Let the Right One In is is a much sweeter story.

1:00:45UnknownPerhaps depending on what you read into it.

1:00:48LeeOh that's true I I think it I think the central relationship between Oscar and Ellie is pretty pure.

1:00:52UnknownYeah. Oh yeah yeah yeah

1:00:54LeeLike it as it's how how that may go on where he becomes her familiar then you start getting into Gilmerro in what we do in the Shadows territory where it's like we did promise me 11 years ago you're going to turn did I?

1:01:13LeeI don't think I did but so yeah how much how sort of used he may be at that point I don't know. so law-wise what what do we have in this we obviously have sunlight.

1:01:28UnknownWell I've got a Yeah. Yes, sunlight burns ages without blood and the interesting thing there did anyone else work out the extra actress? Because I totally forgot about it till Ellie pointed it out.

1:01:44UnknownYeah, so the so the scenes in this there is a couple of flash scenes where it's it's a much older well not older but yeah a woman in her probably 30s who looks a lot like the younger actress and they just flick it so you just see her for three or four frames and then they cut it back

1:01:50LeeYes.

1:02:01UnknownYeah she'll just look at some point and it's older face yeah. You don't realize it it just yeah really just look I just thought that was makeup but Yeah.

1:02:11UnknownNo, well I I say I did originally when we saw it the first but yeah rewatching it again this time in HD yeah you can see it's an old and I went and even checked it on IMDb yeah it is it's an older actress they've got it's almost identical to her they've made her look almost identical.

1:02:29LeeAnd I'm sure I'm sure that at certain points I don't know it might just be the actress but I 'm sure at certain points they've like enhanced like made her eyes big

1:02:38UnknownHer eyes look big don't they? Yeah.

1:02:40LeeBecause there are certain points where they look really like unnaturally huge.

1:02:45UnknownBut subtle enough that you're not quite sure which is clever

1:02:48LeeYeah.

1:02:48UnknownYeah.

1:02:48LeeYeah. And actually actually she's dubbed as well. they got they got an actress in because they wanted to have a more androgynous voice.

1:03:00UnknownOh okay.

1:03:01LeeSo but yeah so Ellie Ellie's actually dubbed for for the film but yeah sorry yes.

1:03:07UnknownOther rules yeah so the one about asking to come in well I particularly liked about that was she makes him like or or he makes her prove it not realizing and she sort of like okay fine you know I'm going to show you what happens here and just actually pause with blood which is really

1:03:23LeeYeah.

1:03:24UnknownIt's just really horrible you know because normally she's like oh I can't come in oh I'll just stand here and even makes that comment doesn't he oh there's like

1:03:32LeeYeah, is there barrier

1:03:33UnknownYeah yeah yeah She's like right okay then Yeah. Yeah.

1:03:36LeeAnd I I have to say I much prefer that to sort of like the Marcel Marcel like you know guy trapped in a box acting from and I can't and then she just walks in and then just begins to sort of like disintegrate in front of him.

1:03:52UnknownBecause I've not seen that before And it's like

1:03:54LeeNo, I've never seen that before and I think it's a really good

1:03:55UnknownNo. Yeah.

1:03:57LeeWhat it makes more sense that you would be you know rather than some invisible force field it kind of makes more sense that it's like no you actually have a physiological consequence to this

1:04:08UnknownBlind to fix somehow isn't it

1:04:09LeeYeah.

1:04:10UnknownYeah. And she's sick if she eats human food so that's another

1:04:13LeeYeah.

1:04:14UnknownThat is in some I've seen Oh yeah but again I do like the fact that in a kind of attempt to try and keep it all the time Oh I know Yeah.

1:04:23UnknownIt's like all right then she's just yeah I guess that shows that it it's not just her kind of taking his affection like she is trying to Yeah. you know Yeah.

1:04:34Unknowngive back to him as well isn't she which is kind of

1:04:36LeeYeah.

1:04:39Unknownshe flies or at least sort of jumps fly which again is clever because straight away flying looks really fake and everything so you see her kind of jumping up the hospital So so that's why so she reminded me of a cat the way that they made her look and she seemed to have sort of a purring noise which I know was her being hungry but it seemed like they'd made it more of a purr than

1:05:02LeeYeah, it's like a well it's like an animal noise isn't it?

1:05:05UnknownYeah and so I mean obviously I wasn't sure if there was more significance to that or it was just me seeing it because they had the whole you know tons of cats in it as well.

1:05:16LeeI I have to say not having seen this film for quite a while those CGI pissed off cats are crap.

1:05:23UnknownI know that was the worst bit everything else you know there's no it's just it's perfect but I did make a note here because they can't do an uncanny or an uncanny anymore they can't throw cats at people and No.

1:05:35UnknownWell that that would have been a lot of cats as well. Yeah, but you know in the old days that worked really well didn't it? It is but this was one of my big arguments when we discussed it's going to come up at some point so you might dive in now the remake let me in.

1:05:51UnknownNo, the only thing is the title makes more sense because I didn't know why there was a wrong one you'd let in.

1:05:54LeeYeah.

1:05:59LeeLet the right one in is a Smith's reference I believe.

1:06:04UnknownOh really? No.

1:06:05LeeYeah, I'm sure it's I'm sure I read somewhere that it is like it's from a Morrissey song or a Smith's song. so but I mean you can't hold that against it can you?

1:06:17LeeSo but yeah so in the remake they do away with that whole cat scene which makes perfect sense because

1:06:24UnknownYeah yeah

1:06:26Leeit didn't seem so necessary.

1:06:29UnknownBut the problem is they took that away which makes sense but then what they did put in which they CGI'd for no reason whatsoever is the scene in the underpass when she attacks the one of that group.

1:06:47Unknownyeah it is from a Just slipping up yeah Morrissey song Let the right one slip in is the

1:06:53LeeNo.

1:06:54UnknownAnd it is apparently about yeah vampires not being able to come in unless they're invited. yeah so for no apparent reason the scene in which the the guy's trying to help her in the subway and he leans over and he kind of climbs up.

1:07:11Unknownyeah they CGI'd that so that she springs up in the air and bounces off the walls and that looks just as shit as the cat. But but that didn't have to be in there for any reason whatsoever and I was like well you took that scene out because no matter what Which was fine the way they'd done it.

1:07:28UnknownFantastic

1:07:33UnknownI think something that doesn't need to be CGI'd that's what angers me that scene looks amazing got for nothing with just a girl jumping at a bloke like you don't you don't have to have her flying around like Yoda.

1:07:45UnknownMaybe I assume it's American actress maybe you know that it's in their clause oh I don't jump on people. it is that can't be the case because it is Chloe Grace Moretz who we've all seen in Kick-Ass.

1:07:58UnknownOh she jumped oh okay Yeah. Yeah. So she was trained for that you know. I'm sure she hadn't forgotten this is only a couple of years like that's one of the other things I did like about the remake is I don't think I'd seen her in anything after Kick-Ass in which she was amazing.

1:08:13UnknownAnd I I remember thinking you know when you see a kid actor who really says anything like I really hope that their career they get an opportunity. yeah so when this came out and then literally the next year the remake was was in production.

1:08:30UnknownAnd yeah the fact that she got the lead role I thought was was was brilliant and has obviously done a lot for her career.

1:08:36LeeShe's she's she's done quite a lot actually especially recently she's been just cropping up in loads of stuff.

1:08:44UnknownShe had again I I think for someone her age she's she's a fantastic actress and it's great that she hasn't done the totally going off the rails thing that a lot of

1:08:57LeeYeah.

1:08:58UnknownAdam how would you know?

1:08:59LeeMind you it's mind you it's this is there's a weird there's a weird sort of pre-history with sort of talented like young actresses play like either playing vampires or moving on to play vampires.

1:09:17LeeBecause obviously you've got oh from Interview with the Vampire why why can I not think of her name?

1:09:25UnknownNo, Kirsten Dunst, Brad Pitt yeah yeah

1:09:27LeeSo obviously

1:09:29UnknownSo I thought you know her role in that is is enough to say it's a good film.

1:09:33LeeShe's brilliant in that that's the best probably the best thing she's done.

1:09:35UnknownYeah yeah Yeah.

1:09:37LeeAnd then you and then you've got Anna Paquin who wins an Oscar at 11 who ends up being in True Blood.

1:09:43UnknownYeah.

1:09:43LeeSo there's obviously you know there's there's obviously a lot of vampires and things there will you know we can ignore Natalie Portman I don't think she's done a vampire film but other than that yeah.

1:09:51LeeIt's sort of the you either end up playing a vamp either end up playing a vampire or you get noticed playing a vampire seems to be the

1:10:04Unknownyeah just to cut back one of the other things I love I've just looking through my notes and I just thought I'd mention it now as a good time.

1:10:11UnknownI mentioned it briefly earlier the pool scene. I've forgotten just how little you see of that attack. yeah no it's that was done really well. Yeah, it's all shot from underwater.

1:10:23UnknownYeah, that's great I do. And it happens and then the camera comes up and it's it's it's all a cat and it's you see that kid's Yeah yeah feet dropping it all on and they shoot out the ball.

1:10:31LeeYeah yeah Kicking along like that funniest bit in the whole film.

1:10:37UnknownYeah.

1:10:38LeeJust because you just think yeah that's it you wanker. Because because you can't you can't help but cheer when he twats him with that rod.

1:10:46UnknownWell yeah yeah And again it's that it's it's not like a big Hollywood they don't put noise on it or anything

1:10:52LeeNo.

1:10:54UnknownIt's just the right impact yeah

1:10:56LeeYeah.

1:10:57UnknownAnd it takes him a little while and then he then he sort of grabs A little while Yeah yeah It's that pause it just feels Real completely real it's amazing.

1:11:04UnknownYeah. I think

1:11:06LeeAnd also also you think it's cold. It's just going to sting just that wee bit more isn't it?

1:11:13UnknownTop of your ears off in the freezing cold and whacks on the big trumpet Do you use that over there though? But yeah back to the pool scene so it reminded me of when we watched it as the stage show.

1:11:24UnknownOh yeah And that was very stark there was literally like trees and that was pretty much the main stage with those sort of trees on it. So the yeah so the the stage itself all the way through was a forest with a bed in it and everything took place Somehow in the forest or on the bed but it was snowing the whole time as well.

1:11:48Unknowna bit but do the pool now have I imagined this have I muddled it up Rocky Horror it was almost like a tank and you could yeah so obviously there's no water I don't think Yeah.

1:11:55UnknownIt's like No, there was there was full of water but it was about a meter square with a ladder kit and they basically wheeled it out onto the stage and it was in a corner of the stage for the whole of the second half.

1:12:01LeeYeah.

1:12:09UnknownAnd then at that point your attention obviously switched to it because the lights went when they came back up he was in it sort of paddling in the water.

1:12:17UnknownYeah and then the others all came and the stage show was It was very cleverly done yeah

1:12:22LeeI forgot you guys saw it as I saw the stage adaptation.

1:12:25UnknownYeah. We did with Sharon previous guest on the show hi Sharon.

1:12:31LeeHello.

1:12:33Unknownyeah, the stage show was was fantastic, and and that was what I loved most of all about it was the fact that it all took place. They they'd created such a such a a way of laying the set out that everything just felt right.

1:12:51UnknownIt's either It sort of flowed together but with minimum kind of movement and, you know, fanfare and everything else. And I guess that's what the film is like, isn't it?

1:12:59UnknownIt's very quite low key. You know, it just kind of poodles along, but it really works. So I guess that why it works so well as a stage show really.

1:12:59LeeYeah.

1:13:05LeeYeah.

1:13:08UnknownIt's a shame it hasn't sort of come back or

1:13:10Unknownyou know. Yeah, 2014 we saw that in so it's years ago. if it were to return, I would definitely

1:13:13LeeRight.

1:13:18LeeYeah, I'd watch that.

1:13:20UnknownEven without seeing the film, I think like it was it worked well as a stage show. So it yeah. Oh, without it, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Definitely worth seeing, yeah.

1:13:29Unknownbut yeah. So Adam, you've seen the remake. Is that right?

1:13:33LeeI have seen I've known half the remake, I think. I just I I didn't see it from the start. I came in in the middle and then quit before the end.

1:13:45UnknownI was going to say first half, second half, but the middle. So yeah.

1:13:48LeeThe mid the middle segment. So yeah.

1:13:52UnknownAnd what did you

1:13:52LeeAnd I'm and I was just sitting there going there's no beginning or or end to this.

1:13:58LeeI don't know. I was just I to be honest, I don't remember it that well. I mean, because they do change they do change sort of change it a fair bit as I remember.

1:14:11LeeIt's not just it's not just a a shot by shot,

1:14:14UnknownNo.

1:14:15Leeyou know, let's translate it into English for people who want English subtitles. You know, they did actually seem to have worked at it. Was it is it in in my head for some reason?

1:14:25LeeWas it a Hammer film?

1:14:28UnknownI'm not sure. Let me look that up. It might have been.

1:14:33LeeBecause I think it's part of like the sort of Hammer revival.

1:14:39UnknownThinking correctly. I think it might have been one of the first.

1:14:45LeeYeah, because it was around the time because they did what was it beyond the rave or beyond the which was like the vampire rave movie, and then they did the one about a tree.

1:14:55LeeGod, this just sounds like my dreams now.

1:14:56UnknownWake wood.

1:14:58LeeWake wood, that's it. Yeah. One about a tree.

1:15:03UnknownThat Hammer tree or just a tree?

1:15:05LeeJust tree.

1:15:06UnknownI can't yeah, it is. Yeah, Hammer Films. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It was one of the production companies.

1:15:11LeeSo I was kind of, you know, on that level I was I was prepared to go with it, but I just I think it was just so compared to the original what I saw of it, I just did not think was particularly sort of memorable.

1:15:26UnknownYeah, it just wasn't needed really, was it?

1:15:28LeeYeah.

1:15:28UnknownIt wasn't as good, so it was fine. And if you'd only watched that version, you'd be like, yeah, yeah, it's all right. It's entertaining. But I think when you compare it with the original is when you see that stark sort of contrast of now this film was kind of amazing and that version was all right.

1:15:44UnknownI I totally agree, but I do and I'm I I've said before obviously I've been very anti remake generally, but what I do think is a low budget independent foreign language horror movie is not going to reach many people.

1:16:03UnknownWhereas the fact that it's it said right this is amazing, 90% of people won't give a shit. So what we can do is we're going to remake it and give other people the opportunity to enjoy it.

1:16:14UnknownBut maybe then people go back and watch the original because they've seen the Yeah, and I I think I think that I think let me in although it wasn't for us, I think as a gateway to a lot of people it would have been Yeah.

1:16:28LeeI I think what I saw of it it just came across as certainly it wouldn't be 12 years down the line we're doing this show. Jennifer says I want to do let right one in.

1:16:38LeeIt was like fucking yes. You know, I I don't think it would be the same with let me in.

1:16:46UnknownNo, no. I and I do agree, but again as you said Adam as well, I felt that they didn't just go that's brilliant. Let's remake it in American. Like they did change the story up enough.

1:16:58Unknownit's again I I was hoping to rewatch it but didn't. But

1:17:03LeeI think as as I recall as well, I think it's also that classic case of ironing out the what could be what would now be called problematic or not I don't think it is, but but the stuff in there that would be like well you can't have a mainstream audience where there's, you know, you know, when there's a pdo with acid on his face and there's you do you know what I mean?

1:17:25LeeIt's sort of they they sort of do

1:17:28UnknownAgain because the the familiar character although I don't remember it being a factor, I've got it up here in front of me on IMDb. So Richard Jenkins who we obviously love the crap out of plays the familiar, and he's credited as the father.

1:17:42UnknownYeah. So I think they made him the father of Abby, which is why he's got that protective

1:17:43Leeyeah.

1:17:49Unknownbut without having the whole mixed feelings of yeah.

1:17:53LeeYeah.

1:17:54UnknownAnd then having to allow an American audience to think well hang on a minute he clearly has got a loving and lustful relationship with her, but if they both had it the same relationship at eight years old and now he's ace and she hasn't is that wrong or you know keeping it nice and simple with her dad.

1:18:14UnknownThere you go. Done. Yes. And it takes that element out of it I think.

1:18:19LeeYeah.

1:18:19UnknownAnd it felt like those type of tweaks as well. It felt like things as you say Adam just it is dumbing it down unfortunately, but

1:18:28LeeI don't even necessarily think of it as dumbing it down, but it's just it's sugaring it a bit.

1:18:33UnknownSmoothing the edges off.

1:18:34LeeYou you know taking it, you know, so it's not quite so I suppose not quite so grim, but

1:18:39UnknownNot quite so enough

1:18:40LeeI like grim.

1:18:41UnknownI like grim.

1:18:41LeeYeah.

1:18:42Unknownof waking which is what I like about it. It's interesting in it. Yeah.

1:18:44LeeYeah.

1:18:44UnknownI couldn't agree more. It puts another element on vampires. It's not just all they're pretty and sparkly, you know. Yeah.

1:18:52LeeThat I got to say, and it might upset you Leon Adam, but that does remind me of Anne Rice, the way that she took vampires, that you know over a longer period of time what happens between them and humans and you know it it gets more complex if you think you live for thousands of years.

1:19:04UnknownOh, yeah.

1:19:09UnknownWell, that's the thing is I think the interview with the vampire

1:19:12LeeSo you don't know. I mean they don't

1:19:13Unknownstill still stands like the book. I still stands. Yeah.

1:19:17LeeI just I think I I read it and I was like you know maybe because I was I think I was because I was like the film's pretty good, so the book will probably be better.

1:19:28LeeAnd then it was and then I read it and I was like actually I'll probably watch the film again rather than read the book again. And and then reading the subsequent ones and I was like oh no I think that was a because I think the actual book Interview with the Vampire gets it spot on in terms of like like you say that whole living of you know like the the lifespan compared to other people like to to ordinary humans.

1:19:57LeePlus also the thing of the frustration of a child like being in a child's body, but you are older than most people that you encounter. And actually I mean that's something that's even even that's in Near Dark

1:20:04UnknownYeah. Yeah.

1:20:11Leelike Homer the boy. At certain points there's the implication that he's actually the oldest one there.

1:20:13UnknownYeah. Yeah.

1:20:21UnknownYeah.

1:20:22LeeBut again because he's trapped in the body of a boy's body, he relies on he's reliant on the others

1:20:25Unknownin the boy's body. Yeah.

1:20:30Leeto to survive because

1:20:33UnknownBecause the world's not geared up for

1:20:34LeeYeah, because he they won't you know he can't go around like hot wiring vans and so on and so

1:20:42UnknownYeah, this definitely did have that like Ellie totally bosses her familiar around and Sharon there's a scene where she's shouting at him for letting her down and stuff. Yeah, and you do get the impression that she's the one who's holding all the cards in that relationship instead of

1:20:59LeeWell, it's even just the simple bit where she wants to do the Morse code with him. She just goes over move.

1:21:05UnknownYeah.

1:21:06LeeJust move.

1:21:07UnknownIt gives you an idea, doesn't it? Their relationship at that point you're like oh hang on a minute. Yeah.

1:21:07LeeAnd it's

1:21:11LeeYeah.

1:21:12UnknownCuz he's just sitting he's sitting like on the floor reading a magazine and then it's she just comes over and move. And he gets up. He's pissed off, but he gets up and fucks off.

1:21:22UnknownAnd again there's the scene where he says you know I I'd rather you didn't go out and see that boy again tonight. Yeah, and she just goes straight out and sees him anyway.

1:21:31UnknownShe's like Don't see him. Yeah.

1:21:31UnknownYeah. Yeah. I'll fix his Rubik's cube. I'm going out there. First time I've heard it called that.

1:21:44UnknownYeah, so all in all this it should address the way we saw this as well. So when it came out originally, it did all of the the big movie circuits and stuff.

1:21:56UnknownAnd I was I I was a massive podcast fanatic at the time. So I'd heard it on two or three different podcasts, people in the States saying look I've been to a convention.

1:22:06UnknownI've seen this film. You've got to see it at all costs. but I knew that it wasn't going to get a a a a large release over here. So I think a small amount of cinemas did like a one night showing, just a one off on release date.

1:22:23UnknownSo I think independent stuff independent cinemas like the Prince Charles and stuff would have done maybe a run of it. but oddly enough Stir Century picked it up and one off showing on release date.

1:22:36UnknownSo our local cinema showed it just once but Yeah, we all went. Yeah, and we were there waiting. And I still remember the excitement. Oh, that's such a as we say such a a low key subdued movie.

1:22:51UnknownI remember us coming out like we just watched an action movie. We were all massively excited and like over each other in the car. But that's different, so it kind of makes you go oh my god someone's on a vampire film that isn't just like all the other vampire films.

1:23:04LeeYeah. Yeah. I think having that that swimming pool scene added a bit

1:23:04UnknownSo I think it was exciting not

1:23:10UnknownYeah, bit of excitement or

1:23:11LeeThat yeah.

1:23:12UnknownTo to me that's the part where it's like the witch.

1:23:16Leeyeah. Yeah, absolutely.

1:23:17UnknownCuriously enough the curiously enough that's the feel good scene

1:23:20LeeYeah.

1:23:21Unknownwhere it's like you think you think Ellie's gone. he's he's in shit with his mom. he's disappointed with his dad. And then he's at the swimming pool. He thinks he's got a mate but he hasn't because they're fixing him up.

1:23:35UnknownAnd then that prick turns up with a flick knife. And all I can hope is that we don't see from what we don't see because it is focusing on the pool is the bit where Ellie takes that knife and shoves it right up his ass hole.

1:23:39UnknownYeah. Yeah.

1:23:48UnknownThat's not Adam. He made that up. But Yeah. It's in it's head canon. Head canon. But yeah, and I think that's probably what helps is it does have that sort of slightly uplifted yeah, that's it.

1:24:02UnknownOh, fucking yeah. He's gone mad killer on page across the countryside. You silly sweet kids. Yeah. Yeah, I was quite surprised. We discussed earlier you know I was said to Adam are you going to show this film to Claire?

1:24:16Unknownand then she messaged me today about something else. So I just sort of said to her have have you watched let the right one in yet? She was like yes.

1:24:24UnknownAnd I don't know what you are going to think about it, but I thought it was very sweet. And I was like yes, it totally is. But it kind of isn't.

1:24:31UnknownIt's kind of a movie, but it has got such a sweet ending.

1:24:37LeeThread running through.

1:24:38UnknownYeah.

1:24:38LeeIt's sweet for freaks.

1:24:40UnknownYes. There you go. But yeah, so

1:24:44LeeWhich is also what it says on the bumper sticker on my car. Honk if you're horny. Sweet for freaks. And what's the other one? Ask gas or pass? I don't know.

1:24:57UnknownIf if we stop now you can cut that bit off.

1:25:02UnknownRight, so yes, we will stop it here before we gush anymore over this film. yeah, anyone who hasn't I know we've kind of spoiled it to a degree. But if you haven't seen this film, honestly it is an absolute treasure.

1:25:19LeeI think it's an experience even if you know where it's going. I mean we went into it knowing oh it's the story of a little of a little girl vampire who befriends a human boy.

1:25:28LeeThat doesn't tell the full story.

1:25:31UnknownNo, but that's that's what I mean. So that's that that is yeah.

1:25:32LeeTells it but yeah.

1:25:35UnknownAnd They cram so much into this time. Like there are so many as you say sideline stories with the relationship between the pair. And I know we can't call them the wino's, but they're they're the they're the people that hang out The average people.

1:25:51LeeWell, yeah. Yeah.
