(LÅT DEN RÄTTE KOMMA IN, Tomas Alfredson, Sweden 2008, 113 min., Swedish/subtitles)
Plagued by school bullies, 12-year-old Oskar finds a friend and his first crush in Eli, a seemingly young girl who lives in his working-class apartment block. What Oskar doesn’t know is that his protective new friend is an ageless vampire and an ongoing local murder spree is the result of her thirst for human blood. Director Alfredson’s scary—and surprisingly touching—new genre hybrid has already developed a considerable international fanbase and won several awards at major film festivals around the world. Don’t miss your chance to see it on the big screen.
