If you’ve never seen LET THE RIGHT ONE IN, you’ve never seen one of the most original and smart vampire films ever made. The Swedish movie was released in 2008, based on the best-selling Swedish novel of the same name, and it didn’t take long before the film festival and horror convention circuit took notice of its brilliance. Now the Overture Films has seen the immense potential, and has adapted the story for U.S. audiences with LET ME IN, which stars Chloe Moretz (KICK-ASS), Kodi Smit-McPhee (THE ROAD), and the great Richard Jenkins. It’s directed and the screenplay is adapted by CLOVERFIELD‘s Matt Reeves. We’ve got some new images direct from Overture foor you to check out from the movie, which you can see above and below. Here’s the synopsis direct from the studios:
An alienated 12-year-old boy befriends a mysterious young newcomer in his small New Mexico town, and discovers an unconventional path to adulthood in LET ME IN, a haunting and provocative thriller.
Twelve-year old Owen (Kodi Smit-McPhee) is viciously bullied by his classmates and neglected by his divorcing parents. Achingly lonely, Owen spends his days plotting revenge on his middle school tormentors and his evenings spying on the other inhabitants of his apartment complex. His only friend is his new neighbor Abby (Chloe Moretz), an eerily self-possessed young girl who lives next door with her silent father (Oscar-nominee Richard Jenkins). A frail, troubled child about Owens’s age, Abby emerges from her heavily curtained apartment only at night and always barefoot, seemingly immune to the bitter winter elements. Recognizing a fellow outcast, Owen opens up to her and before long, the two have formed a unique bond.
When a string of grisly murders puts the town on high alert, Abby’s father disappears, and the terrified girl is left to fend for herself. Still, she repeatedly rebuffs Owen’s efforts to help her and her increasingly bizarre behavior leads the imaginative Owen to suspect she’s hiding an unthinkable secret.
The gifted cast of LET ME IN takes audiences straight to the troubled heart of adolescent longing and loneliness in an astonishing coming-of-age story based on the best-selling Swedish novel Lat den Ratte Komma In (LET THE RIGHT ONE IN) by John Ajvide Lindqvist, and the highly-acclaimed film of the same name.
