If you’re a fan of fantasy film, we’ve got a treat for you: the exclusive red band trailer premiere for Let the Right One In, the Swedish vampire romance that has enraptured critics the world over. Watch it now!
Based on the Swedish novel of the same name, Let the Right One In follows the unlikely friendship between a bullied 12-year-old boy named Oskar (Kare Hedebrant) and a young girl, Eli (Lina Leandersson), who moves into his apartment building in a working class Stockholm suburb. The arrival of Eli and her “father” coincides with a rash of mysterious, violent deaths in the neighborhood, which Oskar begins to suspect are the work of a vampire.
At 100 percent on the Tomatometer, Let the Right One In has charmed its way across the festival circuit, winning prizes at the Tribeca Film Festival and the Edinburgh Film Festival (where it was honored with the Rotten Tomatoes Critical Consensus Award). What’s all the fuss about? Like Pan’s Labyrinth and last year’s The Orphanage, Let the Right One In is both a beautiful, inventive horror film and a touching study of tormented adolescence. Director Tomas Alfredson employs just enough gore to please genre fans, offering a memorable ending that’s earned him comparisons to Kubrick.
