Let Me In
see it,even if you have seen let the right one in - mart1n
i went to see this film as a big fan of let the right one in, so i was a bit weary of the American version could pull it off, as the Swedish film had everything, dark humor and great scenes that would live long in the memory. but i must say it let me in is very good too. its nearly shot the same frame for frame with a few slight differences. it is a story of a young boy who is a bit of a loner and is bullied in school, but makes friend with a young neighbor of his who happens to be a vampire and so a weird but wonderful friendship begins. this is more then just a horror movie, its about friendship, loneliness and despair. but its brilliantly acted too. the two young kids in this movie are brilliant as the two were in let the right one in. so don't be put off if you have seen the original, this is very good also. and if you haven't seen either movie. where have you been?
