October 20th, 2008Let the Right One InOn Friday, October 24, Magnolia Pictures’ Magnet will release LET THE RIGHT ONE IN, the first in their SIX-SHOOTER Series (http://www.sixshooterfilmseries.com).
Synopsis
A fragile, anxious boy, 12-year-old Oskar is regularly bullied by his
stronger classmates but never strikes back. The lonely boy's wish for a
friend seems to come true when he meets Eli, also 12, who moves in next
door to him with her father. A pale, serious young girl, she only comes
out at night and doesn't seem affected by the freezing temperatures.
Coinciding with Eli's arrival is a series of inexplicable disappearances
and murders. One man is found tied to a tree, another frozen in the
lake, a woman bitten in the neck. Blood seems to be the common
denominator - and for an introverted boy like Oskar, who is fascinated
by gruesome stories, it doesn't take long before he figures out that Eli
is a vampire. But by now a subtle romance has blossomed between Oskar
and Eli, and she gives him the strength to fight back against his
aggressors. Oskar becomes increasingly aware of the tragic, inhuman
dimension of Eli's plight, but cannot bring himself to forsake her.
Frozen forever in a twelve-year-old's body, with all the burgeoning
feelings and confused emotions of a young adolescent, Eli knows that she
can only continue to live if she keeps on moving. But when Oskar faces
his darkest hour, Eli returns to defend him the only way she can...
Swedish filmmaker Tomas Alfredson weaves friendship, rejection and
loyalty into a disturbing and darkly atmospheric, yet poetic and
unexpectedly tender tableau of adolescence. LET THE RIGHT ONE IN is
based on the best-selling novel by John Ajvide Lindqvist.
LET THE RIGHT ONE IN is the inaugural release in Magnet's "Six Shooter
Film Series," a series of six films highlighting the vanguard of genre
cinema from around the globe. Five films will follow over the coming
months: Nacho Vigalondo's TIMECRIMES (Spain), Ollie Blackburn's DONKEY
PUNCH (UK), SPECIAL (US), BIG MAN JAPAN (Japan), and EDEN LOG (France).
