Blackeberg, 1982 the cold settles like a steel weight, expelling warmth and life and hope. Gone are the clichés, replaced by a story of uncertain friendship and fragile love, of social reality and dark fantasy.īased on the novel by John Ajvide Lindqvist, Alfredson’s film takes us deep into the heart of Sweden’s frigid suburbs. Unquestionably subversive, at times transcendent, Let the Right One In reintroduces the vampire – that creature of myth and madness – to the real world. He’s taken the most self-reflexive of genres and re-invented it with a single, stunning film. Tomas Alfredson has defied all expectations.


Tomas Alfredson’s stunning Swedish love story has re-invented the vampire film.
