Revisiting the Cat Attack From ‘Let The Right One In’!
Tomas Alfredson’s Let The Right One In is one of my favorite movies of all time. It’s a beautiful horror film (with a pitch black ending a lot of people somehow think is happy). But there’s one scene that sticks out a bit from the assured grace that marks almost every other moment in the film – the cat attack.
It’s no secret that Alfredson had a limited budget, but was it supposed to be this funny? I know a lot of people who think this scene is unintenionally hilarious, but I disagree. I think it’s funny on purpose. This gaggle of senior friends is played more broadly from the film’s other characters, they’re meant to have an element of comic relief to them.
Building on that, I think this scene is designed to puncture the tension for just a moment in what is otherwise a remarkably taut film.
Robert Eggers (The Witch, Nosferatu) is back later this year with new horror movie Werwulf, and the very first teaser image from the hotly anticipated movie has surfaced tonight.
Oddly enough, this first look comes courtesy of the NBC Store, and it gives us a glimpse at a chilly Winter landscape from the film. Is there a werewolf hiding in the photo? Maybe…
Set in 13th century England, Werwulf sees a mysterious creature stalk the land as local folklore becomes a terrifying reality. The film hits theaters on December 25 via Focus Features.
Robert Eggers recently teased, “It’s the darkest thing I’ve ever written. By far.”
Eggers directs from a script he penned with his The Northman co-writer Sjón.
Aaron Taylor-Johnson (Nosferatu), Lily-Rose Depp (Nosferatu), Willem Dafoe (The Lighthouse), Ralph Ineson (The Witch), and Bodhi Rae Breathnach (Hamnet) star.
Robert Eggers and Sjón produce alongside Tim Bevan and Eric Fellner for Working Title. Maiden Voyage’s Chris Columbus and Eleanor Columbus are executive producing.
