Let The Right One In (2008)
11:00 Am
Description:
A fragile, anxious boy, 12-year-old
Oskar is regularly bullied by his stronger classmates but never strikes
back. The lonely boy's wish for a friend seems to come true when he
meets Eli, also 12, who moves in next door to him with her father. A
pale, serious young girl, she only comes out at night and doesn't seem
affected by the freezing temperatures.
Coinciding with Eli's
arrival is a series of inexplicable disappearances and murders. One man
is found tied to a tree, another frozen in the lake, a woman bitten in
the neck. Blood seems to be the common denominator – and for an
introverted boy like Oskar, who is fascinated by gruesome stories, it
doesn't take long before he figures out that Eli is a vampire. But by
now a subtle romance has blossomed between Oskar and Eli, and she gives
him the strength to fight back against his aggressors. Oskar becomes
increasingly aware of the tragic, inhuman dimension of Eli's plight,
but cannot bring himself to forsake her. Frozen forever in a
twelve-year-old's body, with all the burgeoning feelings and confused
emotions of a young adolescent, Eli knows that she can only continue to
live if she keeps on moving. But when Oskar faces his darkest hour, Eli
returns to defend him the only way she can ...
