Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

Let Me In is a 2010 American-British romantic horror film that was written and directed by Matt Reeves, known in conjunction for his directorial work on Cloverfield (2008), Dawn of the Planet of the Apes (2014), and War for the Planet of the Apes (2017). The film stars two young stars Kodi Smit-McPhee (The Road) , Chloë Grace Moretz (Kick-Ass) , Elias Koteas (Shooter) and Richard Jenkins(Step- Brothers. It is a remake of the 2008 Swedish film Let the Right One In. The film tells the story of a bullied 12-year-old boy who develops a friendship with a female child vampire in Los Alamos, New Mexico taking place in 1983. The film owes much of it's gripping direction to the mix of the soundtrack and editing that accompanies the performances. There is a draw of how the camera angles are shot the showcases the scene and how the performer reacts. The suspense of the film is enticing, setting the stage for the theatrics of the kill when it happens. Yes Abby is a vampire but the telling of the story would not elude to how it begins. The movie was gripping, telling in character portrayal, strong and raw emotion out of the characters. I give this a solid 6 out of 10.

This is a good movie. Although there is something that isn't realistic. The bully guy Kenny is way to cruel for a bully. Now I know bullies can be cruel but I doubt that they would be this cruel unless if they were straight up abusive which this guy is. And you know what makes this worse? when the movie was giving dept to this character like when it's revealed that Kenny is bullied himself the movie immediately drops that and it's just him being abusive again. If the movie actually gave more depth to this character than I could feel sympathy for him but no. If the movie revealed that Kenny was abused by his father or something than that would make his actions a lot for justified and understandable but no. Also the movie never gives an explanation for why our main character gets bullied anyway which makes this guy even of an asshole. Anyway there are a few other things that I don't like for example the lighting for the lights outside wasn't very good and the camera work felt kinda weird and unnatural to me but the bully cheractor is the biggest problem I have with this movie.But overall this movie was good. The chemistry between oan and annie was great and I like the mixture between horror and romance.

Well, it's a very well made remake, i need to admit that (besides the unnecessary CGI). But here is my problem with American remakes of foreign flicks in general: Some people say this movie promotes the original, despite the fact that I didn't see any mentions in it (could have missed it?), so there will be people watching this without even knowing it's a remake. And even if it had mentioned the original, I don't think the best way of doing it is by making another WHOLE movie, for me sounds more like getting the chance to profit on someone else's idea. Besides all that, the original is still quite better in every aspect, what makes this piece totally unnecessary and pointless in my opinion. Well, I recommend you to at least go see the original "Let The Right One In (2008)" first if you are still going through this one, unless subtitles are a big deal for you.

Let me in-quite possibly the first movie to see in theaters that made me cry in a good way because I loved the movie. I never really heard about this movie until my Grandma persuaded me to see it,not only was it a really good movie,it was actually a movie that changed my inner self,because before I saw this movie,I felt real selfish and all that. But it's pretty funny...on how a movie,and this specific movie would make me feel different about other people. When I saw this movie,I was seeing that it was about a lonely kid who meets this girl who is also a vampire. But instead of trying to make it scary,they made it really social,emotional,and sad. But not scary. It was quite bloody for sure for being a vampire movie,but it wasn't scary at all. Even if it wasn't the best horror movie ever,it was still the best and first emotional movie I have ever seen and cared about.
