Let the Right One In Movie

* Opens January 15, 2010

Let the Right One In reinvigorates the seemingly tired vampire genre by effectively mixing scares with intelligent storytelling. this is a moody, original take on the vampire film. … Anyone interested in vampire films or relationship films will enjoy this fantastic picture.

Set in Sweden in the early 1980s, “Let the Right One In” is a boy-meets-girl story; it just so happens that the girl is a centuries-old vampire. Oskar (Lina Leandersson) standing in the snow, barefoot and jacketless.

And the fact that it doesn’t feel like a vampire flick at all makes it one of the best of its kind. While the usual bloodsucker conventions are followed (the aversion to sunlight, immortality, an inability to enter a home unless invited – hence the title), the focus is on two kids who don’t fit in anywhere and their unlikely friendship.
