Throwing creative caution to the wind, Reeves (Felicity,Cloverfield) has taken on the vampire-in-love genre with Let Me In, an American take on the acclaimed 2008 Swedish film, Let the Right One In. In all seriousness, though, it should be really interesting to see how this film turns out. The original, directed by Tomas Alfredson, garnered praise for its subtlety and undertones between its central young boy and vampire girl next door. Let Me In, over-the-top music aside, seems to be honoring the feel and tone of its source material.—Jonathan Simrin
Did you see the critically-acclaimed Swedish vampire movie ‘Let the Right One In’ a couple of years ago? Well, here’s the inevitable Hollywood remake. Reeves (Cloverfield) directs this adaptation of the Swedish vampire movie Let the Right One In, starring Kodi Smit-McPhee (The Road) and Chloë Moretz (Kick-Ass). This trailer makes it look like a very faithful re-creation, which may put it on a higher quality plane than most October horror releases. It will probably leave those of us who saw the original scratching our heads and wondering “What’s the point?”, though. Oh, right, it’s Hollywood. Things are better when you don’t have to read subtitles.—Chris Conaton
