A slow-paced vampire film with as much heart as gore and at once a devastating, curiously uplifting inhuman drama and a superbly crafted genre exercise. Actually it is a horror film, but the gruesome splatter is the least of its scares. Actually it is a love story, but the prepubescent kind where sex is a distant idea and loneliness a shared reality. The beauty of Let the Right One In resides in the way the horror remains grounded in a tragic kind of love. The young actors, Kare Hedebrant and Lina Leandersson (none of’em has previous film experience) giving evocative performances as Oskar and Eli, are so overwhelmingly powerful in their roles that we care for them more than they care for themselves. The best fairy tales always have so much darkness in them. That’s why they resonate so deeply. This is a magnificent film.
