My Response: This film has actually been around since 2006, and even played at some film festivals two years ago, but it is just now getting its limited release. Michael Rapaport always does a superb job in every movie he's in, and he has more than perfected his skills as a character actor (but sadly he is usually only known as "Oh, look! It's that guy. I've seen him in something before"). Rapaport's lead role is the main reason I want to see this film, and I don't think he'll disappoint. Rent it.

I can't wait to check this movie out. Michael Rapaport always rocks it hard. I've recently discovered this is one of 6 movies in magnet's 6-shooter film series. check out the site, www.sixshooterfilmseries.com, they all look awesome. The site says there's a sneak peak of this movie on 11/19 on HDNet Movies, so I am pumped!!!

Thanks for the link!

I'd heard about the Six Shooter Film Series, but I didn't know which films it entailed, so the link helped a lot.

Let the Right One In definitely looks good and creepy. And the others seem to be genre twisting and original, two things that are always good in the film industry.
