John Ajvide Lindqvist’s novel became the incredible Swedish movie Let the Right One In back in 2008, and we’ve learned that Vertigo is bringing the film back to life next week.
Vertigo Releasing will bring iconic vampire horror Let the Right One In to audiences across digital platforms on January 20, and Bloody Disgusting has been exclusively provided with all-new digital artwork. In anticipation for January’s release, Vertigo have collaborated with iconic illustrator Chris Malbon to create entirely new, hand-illustrated artwork in honour of the film’s iconic characters, cold Scandinavian setting, and, of course, the infamous pool scene.
Check out the art below and look for the vampire film on digital outlets January 20!
Lina Leandersson, Kåre Hedebrant, Patrik Rydmark and Peter Carlberg star.
From director Tomas Alfredson, Let the Right One In follows bullied 12 year old Oskar (Hedebrant), living with his mother in suburban Sweden, when he’s introduced to his mysterious and dark neighbour Eli (Leandersson). Whilst the pair are initially reserved with each other, they gradually start to form a close bond through their shared insecurities.
However, this tale soon takes a sinister turn, as it becomes apparent that Eli is no regular young girl, as she shares with Oskar her dark secret – that she is in fact connected to a string of bloody local murders.
One of the best vampire movies ever made, Let the Right One In was quickly followed by an American remake in 2010. Titled Let Me In, the U.S. version was directed by Matt Reeves. The films were subsequently followed by a short-lived TV series, cancelled after one season.
Meagan Navarro raved on Bloody Disgusting several years back that the original Let the Right One In is “a haunting coming of age tale that plays like a beautiful, atmospheric love story.” It’s also a pitch perfect movie watch for both Valentine’s Day and the Winter season, making Vertigo’s re-release on Digital this coming January 20 a well timed resurrection for the film.
