Let the Right One In appears on Tubi’s 'Leaving Soon' list

Movieweb reports that the Swedish horror film Let the Right One In, widely regarded as one of the genre's darker and more controversial works, is currently available on free streamer Tubi but is listed on the service's "Leaving Soon" page. Based on the Swedish novel and directed by Tomas Alfredson, the film follows 12-year-old Oskar and the mysterious Eli.

The official synopsis reads: "When Oskar (Kåre Hedebrant), a sensitive, bullied 12-year-old boy living with his mother in suburban Sweden, meets his new neighbor, the mysterious and moody Eli (Lina Leandersson), they strike up a friendship. Initially reserved with each other, Oskar and Eli slowly form a close bond, but it soon becomes apparent that she is no ordinary young girl.

Eventually, Eli shares her dark, macabre secret with Oskar, revealing her connection to a string of bloody local murders." The story's frequent depictions of child abuse, sexual abuse and intimate accounts of depression and grief contribute to its controversy, yet it holds a 98% Rotten Tomatoes critic score and a 90% user score, with many users calling it a "masterpiece."
