Let the Right One In
Anything for blood.
Created by Andrew Hinderaker
On Showtime
A dark, intimate study of a father and daughter bound by an impossible circumstance, exploring love and sacrifice under the weight of an eternal curse.
Mark and his 12-year-old daughter’s lives were changed forever 10 years earlier when she was turned into a vampire. Locked in at age 12, perhaps forever, Eleanor lives a closed-in life, able to go out only at night, while her father does his best to provide her with the minimal amount of human blood she needs to stay alive.
