When Oskar, a sensitive, bullied 12-year-old boy, meets his new neighbor, the mysterious and moody Eli, they strike up a friendship. Initially reserved with each other, Oskar and Eli slowly form a close bond, but it soon becomes apparent that she is no ordinary young girl.
"Let the Right One In is a Swedish horror and romance film based on the novel of the same name by John Ajvide Lindqvist. Set in the 1980s, the story follows a boy who is bullied at school and forms an unexpected friendship with someone who appears to be a girl his age but only comes out at night. This film, at the time of its release, revitalized the tired vampire genre with a fresh perspective, balancing the tragedy, longing, and violence typical of the genre with an LGBTQIA+ love and friendship story in the face of misunderstanding and abandonment. Selected among the 100 best films of all time by The New York Times."
