“It’s everything Twilight wanted to be but wasn’t: beautiful to gaze at, achingly romantic, emotionally involving, unexpectedly terrifying.”
Sukhdev Sandhu - Daily Telegraph
“Let the Right One In is a slow burning film with an engulfing atmosphere that leaves you feeling moved and mesmerised long after the credits have finished.” Thomas Caldwell - Cinema Autopsy
This is a vampire movie like no other. Vampires, as we know, are not real, but the emotions on display here are real enough. At heart this is a tender love story - born of the friendship of two outsiders - a young boy and a vampire who is hundreds of years old, but seems to be only twelve. Beautiful to look at, emotionally involving and alternately horrifying and tender, it will stay in your mind for some time.
