For our second movie, I present to you ... Giles! As a vampire slayer! Not quite, but Let the Wrong One In, an Irish vampire horror-comedy does feature Anthony Stewart Head (billed as Anthony Head) as a vampire hunter who is rather put upon by the goings-on around him. And he gets cracked on the noggin a lot. So - basically Giles.
Dublin has a growing vampire problem, due to a bacholette trip to Transylvania gone wrong. When Matt learns that his older brother has been turned, he has to decide whether to help him or slay him. Tony Head plays a railway enthusiast whose fiancee is the now-vampire who is causing all the problems. That is really all there is to say about this little movie plot-wise. It ain't complicated.
LtWOI is pretty cute actually. It isn't at all scary but the practical effects are top-notch and very gory. There are buckets of blood splashing all over. There's even a training montage but, let's face it, Matt is no Buffy. I do wish I'd turned the subtitles on as the Irish accents are really thick, and I'm usually pretty good at accents.
