Let Me In

Horror based on Swedish novel Let the Right One In. A lonely 12-year-old boy in 1980s New Mexico befriends a young girl who moves in next door, unaware that she is a vampire.

Horror adaptation of John Ajvide Lindqvist's Swedish novel Let the Right One In, moving the location from Stockholm to Los Alamos, New Mexico in 1983.

Lonely 12-year-old Owen is continually being bullied at school, while at home his parents are more interested in their bitter divorce than him. When a quiet young girl, Abby, moves in to the apartment next door with her father, he slowly befriends her, unaware that she is a vampire who needs to consume human blood to survive. As their friendship grows, they begin to find ways to help each other.
