Let The Right One In

Let The Right One In




Year - 2008
Director - Tomas Alfredson
Genre - Drama, Fantasy, Romance, Horror
Country - Sweden


Storyline

Oskar (Kare Hedebrant), a young boy who is bullied at school makes a unique friendship with a young girl called Eli (Lina Leandersson) who is a vampire.

Conventions

I think this film challenges and develops the normal conventions of a vampire film. With a vampire in a film, that the genre would be horror, but I think the film is more romantic as the director focuses on the relationship of Oskar and Eli. There is also minimum blood and violence apart from a few scenes compared to normal horror films. I enjoyed watching this film and it showed that the conventions in horror films can be developed and changed.
