Plot Summary: "Let Me In" tells a terrifying tale about an alienated 12-year old boy named Owen (Kodi Smit-McPhee) who is viciously bullied by his classmates and neglected by his divorcing parents. Achingly lonely, Owen spends his days plotting revenge on his middle school tormentors and his evenings spying on the other inhabitants of his apartment complex. His only friend is his new neighbor Abby (Chloe Moretz), an eerily self-possessed young girl who lives next door with her silent father (Oscar nominee Richard Jenkins). A frail, troubled child about Owen's age, Abby emerges from her heavily curtained apartment only at night and always barefoot, seemingly immune to the bitter winter elements. Recognizing a fellow outcast, Owen opens up to her and before long, the two have formed a unique bond.

This is the notorious Let The Right One In remake.

Well, since the first movie was perfect and it looks like they absolutely screwed the pooch on the remake, I'll pass.

So I avoided watching this remake all this time because the original was excellent, but I finally did watch it and this version is pretty good as well. Very faithful to the original film, almost shot-by-shot remake I guess but with some more advanced special effects which actually work very well.

Highly recommended if you haven't seen the Swedish version and refuse to watch films with subtitles. Otherwise, watch the original. Or both.
