If anything, the series’ Eleanor serves as his protector. Isaiah is a lonely little boy, like Owen (Smit-McPhee, 2010) and Oskar (Kare Hedebrant, 2008), but he isn’t prone to violence.
While the films are positioned as childhood love stories, Isaiah and Eleanor share a chaste friendship. In the show, the vampire is Eleanor (Madison Taylor Baez), the boy is Isaiah Cole (Ian Forman), and both are around 12 years old. The two movies heavily focus on the relationship between a vampire and a bullied little boy. Which version is right for you? It depends.Īdvantage: “Let the Right One In,” the series The TV series follows the basic outline of John Ajvide Lindqvist’s novel, as well as Tomas Alfredson’s 2008 feature involving a young boy whose new friend is a vampire, as well as 2010’s American remake directed by Matt Reeves, “Let Me In.” From there, both movies take different routes to tell their story.
Many changes made for the series were done in the name of sustaining narrative television. This week, the vampires aren’t as lucky with Showtime’s “ Let the Right One In.” AMC’s “Interview With the Vampire” is a great example of how a TV series can be an opportunity to modernize dated source material and films.
