Plot: A 12-year-old boy befriends a mysterious young girl whose appearance in town suspiciously coincides with a horrifying series of murders in director Tomas Alfredson's adaptation of the book by author John Ajvide Lindqvist, who also wrote the screenplay. Oskar is a young boy who can't seem to shake off the local bullies, but all of that begins to change when a new neighbor moves in next door. After striking up an innocent friendship with his eccentric next-door neighbor, Oskar realizes that she is the vampire responsible for the recent rash of deaths around town. Despite the danger, however, Oskar's friendship with the girl ultimately takes precedence over his fear of her. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

What Vampire Movies Are Made Of
Added 11/6/2009

Let The Right One In is truly a masterpiece in my opinion, it really delivers an excellent story that kept me interested all through the film.

As a fan who has never read the novel, I had no expectations on my first viewing of this film and was not dissapointed.

There are all kinds of vampire films based on books right now and even though I have many that I enjoy, this one is very close to the top of my list.


For those who have yet to see Let The Right One In, when you first view this film please go in with an open mind and you might just enjoy it.

Translation is Key!!!
Added 11/4/2009

I read the reviews on this DVD prior to buying and they were correct. The new release has both the theatrical translation as well as the original DVD translation and there is a world of difference. I've watched it with both versions and the movie is great either way but the theatrical translation is by far more satisfying.

Intelligent, nuanced tale of childhood friends and vampires
Added 10/30/2009

The Bottom Line:

A movie where the undead are back to their former role of ghastly bloodsucking creatures (who don't sparkle, but that's another matter), Let the Right One In is passable as a vampire film but really impresses in its nuanced depiction of a friendship between two young outcasts who find solace in each other; be warned that it's often a very graphic film, but it's also often a very good one.

3/4
