see it,even if you have seen let the right one in - mart1ni 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 more ... | |
Slightly better than the original.. - Simon ConnollyWhen word first hit that last years critically acclaimed Swedish horror film Let The Right One In was to be remade in English to facilitate American audiences who apparently can't read subtitles film critics, scholars and enthusiasts worldwide were outraged.

As Good as The Orginal - jennithThere was some disdain about this film from fans of the orginal Swedish Film Let the right one in but Matt Reeves has stayed Faithful to the orginal and shows the awkwardness and subtlety of the first film.The film story for those not familar with the orginal story involves Owen who is a 12 year old boy who is bullied at school and generaly having a hard more ... | |
A surprising triumph - paula galvinI had seen the Swedish version of this film last year,"Lat ren Ratte Komma" and had been chillingly thrilled by it so was not really expecting to be similarly entranced by this Hollywood remake but I am delighted to say that I was.

Recoommended but... - MicealJThere is no question that 'Let Me In' is an excellent film. It is beautifully acted, tightly scripted and made with a real love and respect for its source material. It is chilling and uncompromising in its portrayal of what is essentially a doomed love story. Yes this is definitely a class film. The only problem is that it was also a great film two years more ... | |
what a disappointment - SarahI dont know how anyone could give this film, 4 never mind 2 stars. Boring for very long periods, with poor dialogue and little suspense, this film does not live up to the hype. Expecting a tense thriller with a bit of horror thrown in (and released in time for Halloween) I was expecting a few jumps, however I just found the scenes that did have some more ... | |
A superior film to the original - Eoghan BolgerLet me in. Let me in is a horror/drama about a young withdrawn, bullied, lonely boy that strikes up a friendship with a mysterious girl of similar age. Little does he know a string of disturbing incidents are of her doing and she is in fact a vampire. The movie is a remake of the Swedish film let the right one in. This version is directed by Matt Reeves more ... | |
