    David Ansen, an otherwise distinguished film critic, must be suffering from temporary insanity having given his best film of the year award to the Swedish hack horror travesty, LET THE RIGHT ONE IN. I walked out of the film after 40 minutes because it was unrelentingly boring, sick, clumsy, and very, very poorly directed. This shows how critics are deeply out of touch with reality,
