Let Me In (2010)


A new neighbor will change the life of a bullied schoolboy. I recently reviewed the original movie Let the Right One In (2008) and this one follows it fairly close, with just a few minor changes. I'm not really giving anything away by telling you this is a vampire movie.. correction, its a movie with a vampire in it. This is really more a young romance movie with a twisty. At first glance this is just another better than average movie with a fly in the ointment. Players are all in step.. FX are good.. the dialogue flows well for the most part, there were a few wooden moments but nothing overly distracting. The real flavor of this movie is when you consider the implications. Think 'full circle'. This isn't really a horror movie even though there are a couple scenes that would qualify for one. A newish take on an overused theme that yields positive results. If you are looking for something that will keep you interested without being overly loud, violent or scary this would be a good pick. One of the rare movies that I hope they make a sequel. Pizza and Gummi Bears.
