Trivia:
The title of the film (as well as the novel upon which it was based) refers to the Morrissey song "Let the Right One Slip In". In addition, it also refers to the fact that, according to vampire myths, vampires must be invited in before they can enter someone's home (this is shown in the film when Eli asks Oskar to invite her into his apartment). more
Goofs:
Continuity: In the last scene, when the bullies are holding Oskar underwater, the hand holding Oskar underwater is backwards, since the way the bully is holding him his fingers should be pointing to Oskar's back and not his front. more
Quotes:
Eli: [standing outside the door] You have to invite me in.
Oskar: What happens if I don't?
Oskar: What happens if you walk in anyway?
Oskar: [feels the air between himself and Eli] Is there something in the way?

The most fantastic and original dark fantasy starring a child since "Pan's Labyrinth", 26 October 2008
10/10
Author: Aluísio Parondi (nem.freud.explica@gmail.com) from Winooski, Vermont, USA

Tomas Alfredson's "Let The Right One In" is an original, dark, twisted and gory horror fantasy, one of those special films that are hard to classify. Not merely an exercise in style, his film is a brilliant piece of amoral storytelling, and even if some characters' actions defy any logic or common sense (I don't wanna spoil any moment here, but you'll know what I mean when the first revenge moment of the story happens), they seem to be there just to remind you that this is just a fantasy tale (but not for the little ones!). Oskar (Kåre Hedebrant) is a 12 year-old bullied boy that befriends and develops an innocent crush on his new neighbor, Eli (Lina Leandersson), who happens to be a vampire. What comes next is a twisted tale of revenge and pubescent love, made with visual flair (the swimming pool scene is already classic), creative directing and impressive performances by the young pair of protagonists.

Hollywood, of course, didn't waste time and already announced an upcoming remake for those who are too lazy to read subtitles. Most likely, the remake will turn out to be PG-13 in order to make more money, and be filled with moral values so the prudish parents will let their kids watch the movie (don't they know "The Little Vampire" was made years ago?). Ignore the future bomb and enjoy the original - you're in for a treat! 10/10.
