Context Social Let The Right One In is an adaptation from a Swedish novel of the same name (the original title is Låt den rättekomma in) by author AjvideLindqvist, which was published in 2004. With a budget of a reported 29million SEK, (around £2.6m) it made a healthy profit with worldwide box office receipts of around $11m, perhaps bolstered by a very positive critical response: it received a 98% positive rating on RottenTomatoes.com The film features some interesting aspects that refer to issues of social commentary; in the original novel one character, Håkan, is described as being a paedophile, though this was omitted from the adaptation. Eli features a somewhat broad representation of being a young female character and is, in fact an androgynous boy. The film handles this in a very ambiguous manner with a scar suggesting castration and a post-production changing of her voice which was considered to be too high pitched.

Context This ‘genre’ was typified by a _____ setting and dialogue style which featured a generally dark and morally complex mood. Dialogue of such texts is often very restrained and generally features commentary on Scandinavia’s political systems. In this ‘genre’, there is a general suggestion that the apparent equality, social justice, and liberalism of Scandinavia hides dark secrets and hidden hatred, most keenly referred to as a suggestion that Sweden had failed to integrate its immigrant population-something clearly felt in Let the Right One In.

Context Historical After being commercially and critically successful, the film was remade in 2010 as Let Me In, with Clover field Director Matt Reeves at the helm. Whilst critically well-received, the film performed poorly at the Box Office. In 2013, the film was also turned into a theatre production by the National Theatre of Scotland. Following the original performances in 2013, the play occasionally tours, to great critical reception and has played in London, New York and in 2017 will be performed in Texas. The character of Eli is an interesting take on the vampire character, in so much as the young girl has the power and the older gentleman, Hakan is seemingly at her behest.
