Release: 10/24/08 (Norway)
Cast: Kåre Hedebrant, Lina Leandersson

Let the Right One In is a nearly flawless coming of age love story with all the right elements of a vampire fable. Swedish director, Tomas Alfredson, creates a darkly poetic atmosphere with surprisingly innovative results. It has all the elements of a strong film: good storytelling, great cinematography and two wonderfully realized, awkward 12 year olds. Take time to enjoy this rare gem that is a must see.

Warning! Turn off the default dubbed version and watch only in the original Swedish with English subtitles.
