Let the Right One In introduces the melancholic allure of the lonely vampire to a Swedish junior high school in winter 1982. Attuned to the bristling hypersensitivities of its preteen protagonists, the film rhymes the miseries of two soulmates: the ravenous vampire girl who can never die and the 12-year-old boy who can never fit in.
By day young Oskar is the victim of relentless bullying. By night he dreams of revenge. He fills a notebook with details of the gruesome blood-lettings. Eli, the new girl next door, seems just as much a misfit: she never feels the cold, she smells weird, she can't enter a room unless she's invited, but she understands Oskar.
