Let The Right One In

Let The Right One In is about Oskar, a 12 year old boy who is bullied everyday. He builds up the courage to face these bullies only once he meets Eli, a peculiar girl who helps him gain enough confidence to face them turns out to be a vampire. Even though Eli is a vampire, her and Oskar manage to build a relationship.
This film was made in 2008, it was set in the Swedish suburb of Blackeberg in 1982. It won several awards including a nopmintion for a BAFTA award.

Ths movie doesn't follow the conventions of a normal horror movie although there is enough evidence to lead the audience to think it is a horror although it juggles between the sub-genres of a love story and also high school genres. A lot of horror movies now cast children as their main protagonists.

This movie would be easily replicated as the cast would be easy to find as their aren't many actors. The setting isn't too fancy and although it is set in the snow it would be repeatable in the woods and in a school.

Let The Right One In is very different to our more mainstream horror movies as it is more slow paced it is likely to appeal to a niche audience as they would be more critical to this movies approach to horror. The character however is part of the new horror era as films such as The Ring, The Grudge, Insidious all star children as their main protagonists.
