Let The Right One In loses its fangs
The Swedish original was so mesmerizing in part because it refused to elucidate its morally ambiguous characters’ motivations or histories. Series creator Andrew Hinderaker takes the opposite approach here: While trying to dive into backstories, he flattens them. Once moody and traumatized, Isaiah’s character is now more of a chipper narc—believable traits for a seventh grader, but not so much for a vampire’s keeper. Anika Noni Rose is an unwavering highlight as Isaiah’s mother Naomi.
As obnoxiously sincere as Eli is , it explains her compatibility with Isaiah. To her credit, Baez skillfully plays Eli as an only child who, even pre-vampire bite, spent her life shuffled among adults. The series works best when it toys with Mark and Eli’s dueling desires: Although each yearns for a new life, neither can relinquish the quest to reify a shared past.
