Let The Right One In

Let The Right One In the story of a relationship between a twelve year old boy and a considerably older vampire. The main theme of the film is loneliness and how good it is for the soul to meet someone you can connect with. Even if you are being bullied at school and the person you meet is one of the undead. This, in a way brackets the film with Harold and Maude, except Maude did not kill all those that tormented Harold. Anyway it’s a beguiling beautiful study of lost souls reaching fulfilment.
