Additional InformationA well-crafted horror film in the tradition of Guillermo del Toro's THE DEVIL'S BACKBONE, Swedish import LET THE RIGHT ONE IN ably blends genre chills with genuine feeling. Oskar (Kare Hedebrant) is a 12-year-old outcast who is frequently picked on by his classmates. He dreams of getting his revenge, but he never stands up to the boys. With the arrival of his new next-door neighbour, 12-year-old Eli (Lina Leandersson), Oskar may finally have found a friend, ally, and first love. But Eli is no ordinary girl: she must keep her pale skin out of the sunlight, she can perform inhuman physical feats, and she has thirst for blood. The bodies begin to pile up, but Oskar can't stay away from the girl who has finally given him courage.<BR><BR><BR><BR><BR>Based on the novel by John Ajvide Linqvist (who also wrote the script), LET THE RIGHT ONE IN is the best kind of horror film: one that transcends the tropes of the genre to become something new. This is director Tomas Alfredson's first foray into horror, and he doesn't hesitate to include bits of vampire mythology. But his background making comedies and dramas gives the film a surprising depth; the relationship between Oskar and Eli is tentative and sweet, even though their interactions may be surrounded by blood and violence. Composer Johan Soderqvist and the sound department create a fascinating palette of music and sounds that add to the film's perfectly chilly mood, and setting the film in a snowy Swedish suburb gives director of photography Hoyte Van Hoytema a starkly beautiful environment for shooting. Though LET THE RIGHT ONE IN is ostensibly about a pair of children, this is a horror film for adults. There are plenty of scares, but it remains moving and intelligent, a rare feat for the genre.
ReviewsRolling Stone - Stick your neck out for this Swedish horror show. It's a winner, full of mirth and malice....The two young leads are dynamite. And director Tomas Alfredson knows how to pin you to your seat, New York Times - [A] spectrally beautiful Swedish vampire movie....The film's cool is largely expressed in visual terms, in the enveloping snow, the wintry light and the cinematographer Hoyte van Hoytema's meticulously and steadily framed compositions, Empire - The best horror film of the year, Los Angeles Times - In this sinister but gorgeous and compelling film by Tomas Alfredson, being human and acting human don't always go together, Total Film - Alfredon's chiller is moving and nerve-jangling. A vampire movie to nourish the heart, mind and fear glands, Daily Mirror - Brutal and brilliant. You've never seen anything like this

  • Development of Characters

    For a film to appeal to me, it has to be about the development of the characters in the story and their interaction with one another. I am usually put off films like this because the centre of attention goes to, in this sort of case, the Vampire and what the Vampire gets up to, with everyone else fitting in around that theme. With this film, however, it is about the forming of the unusual friendship between Oscar and Eli, especially considering Oscar's vulnerable nature (falling victim to the bullies at school and not really having any friends). The fact that one of these two is a Vampire gives the story its theme, but it is the developing friendship that seems to be the stronger theme. Don't be put off by this opinion; there is still plenty of blood and other unsavoury things to watch! It is probably the friendship that prevents Oscar becoming one of Eli's victims; look for the expression on Eli's face when Oscar lets her borrow his Rubiks Cube - somewhat deflated? All the traditional folklore traits are included; the effect Vampires have on cats, the effect sunlight has on Vampires, how survivors of an attack become affected, and so on. Many people have suggested that the penultimate scene at the Swimming Pool is their favourite, and the film could have ended there; but the scene that follows suggests that the story could have continued (perhaps into another film), and the viewer is left guessing where they're going!
