Let the Right One In

(Dir: Tomas Alfredson, Sweden, 2008)

Starring: Kare Hedebrant, Lina Leandersson, Per Ragnar and Henrik Dahl Let the Right One In is an angular and lusty teen horror movie based on John Ajvide Lindqvist’s bestseller in which lonesome 12-year-old Oskar (Kare Hedebrant) becomes smitten by a young, female vampire named Eli (Lina Leandersson).

After initiating an adorable romance in the snow-coated forecourt of their glum housing complex, they soon realise that both of them are baying for blood. He’s privately fantasising about stabbing up his schoolyard tormentors with a pocket knife and she needs to sate an appetite for the red stuff that keeps her from dropping dead… again.

Alfredson’s light, subtle direction makes the courtship elements all the more tender and the staccato scenes of extreme violence all the more disturbing. The bashful, impassive hue of the central performances also gives the film an anything-could-happen edge: feelings of anger and desire don’t provoke hysterical outbursts but remain bewildering within the minds of the juvenile cast.

Adm: €7 (seasonal membership rates available).
