| Story: |
Twelve-year old Owen (Kodi Smit-McPhee) is viciously bullied by his classmates
and neglected by his divorcing parents. Achingly lonely, Owen spends his days
plotting revenge on his middle school tormentors and his evenings spying on
the other inhabitants of his apartment complex. His only friend is his new
neighbor Abby (Chloe Moretz), an eerily self-possessed young girl who lives
next door with her silent father (Richard Jenkins). A frail, troubled child
about Owens's age, Abby emerges from her heavily curtained apartment only at
night and always barefoot, seemingly immune to the bitter winter elements.
Recognizing a fellow outcast, Owen opens up to her and before long, the two
have formed a unique bond.
When a string of grisly murders puts the town on high alert, Abby's father disappears, and the terrified girl is left to fend for herself. Still, she repeatedly rebuffs Owen's efforts to help her and her increasingly bizarre behavior leads the imaginative Owen to suspect she's hiding an unthinkable secret. Based on the best-selling Swedish novel Lat den Ratte Komma In (Let the Right One In) by John Ajvide Lindqvist, and the highly-acclaimed film of the same name. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
