Synopsis

In a Stockholm suburb in 1982, Oskar meets Eli and falls in love. Both Oskar and Eli are 12 years old. But Eli has been 12 for a very long time. ‘Let The Right One In’ is part tender coming of age story, part touching and delicate romance, and part terrifying and violent vampire film.

For many critics ‘Let The Right One In’ has been the best film of 2009. Winner of over 50 awards from around the world, including many for Best Film, Best Foreign Language Film and Best Director, it is sure to make a big impression at next year’s Oscars.
