Let the Right One In

Let the Right One In is one of the most hauntingly poetic horror masterpieces of the 21^st century and a tragic vampire tale like no other. On the brink of adolescence, a bullied 12-year-old boy befriends his peculiar new neighbor, whose arrival coincides with a rash of local disappearances and murders. But as the two draw ever closer, he’ll uncover secrets to his new friend’s lamentable plight. It’s a beautiful dark fairy tale that stains the snows of Sweden red with blood.

“An ingenious mixture of satire, dead-end suburban realism and gory vampire fantasy.” – Andrew O’Hehir, Salon

“At once a devastating, curiously uplifting inhuman drama and a superbly crafted genre exercise, Let the Right One In can stand toe-to-toe with Spirit Of The Beehive, Pan’s Labyrinth or Orphee. See it.” – Kim Newman, Empire

“Let the Right One In is atypically literate and unexpectedly affecting suspense fare. Complex characters, ominous situations fraught with mortality and the recklessness of youthful ardor create a tense and subtly shaded narrative.” – Justin Lowe, The Hollywood Reporter
