This is the American remake of Let The Right One In which was recommended to me by one of my Letterboxd friends Leo Wellock. I am usually a little leary of American remakes of great movies but he said it was awesome and I had to check it out! He was right it was pretty awesome! The story lines are very close with a few slight changes and a little more detailed. It omitted one of my favorite scenes in the original with the cats but it added a new favorite scene for this movie. The major differences is that this version is more graphically violent which I am down for and Chloe Grace Moretz. The young actress who played…
Matt Reeves Rewatch Season (Part 1):
Sincerely Twisted, SO atmospheric, beautiful and sweet.
Broken “children” in a frigid, isolating, winter wonderland.
The Hollywood remake of the Swedish horror masterpiece, Let Me In was released to positive reception from critics n viewers alike with many even calling it a rare American remake of a European film that doesn't add insult to inspiration. Even I used to have a similar opinion until last night when I revisited this remake after checking out the original first, only to realise how mediocre this film really is.
Watching the two versions of the same story back to back not only exposed the weakness of this so-called worthy remake in ways not observed before but also added a tremendous amount of respect for just how superior, timeless & far more subtle the original masterpiece actually is. It's surprising…
🧟♂️ Undead etc.—🧛🏻♀️ Vampires (2010)
”Eat some now. Save some for later.”
In this version of Let the Right One In, I feel very sad that Abby can’t have any friends because she keeps eating them.
Okay, that’s a joke, but she might as well be, given the level of overstatement displayed here compared to the original. Now, that’s not always a bad thing. In fact, I’m pretty mixed. I thought the friendship / romance plot was differently heartwarming here—also fairly American—and I enjoyed the lakepole scene because of the extra intensity. In general, the violence was ramped up. There are longer shots of screaming, more direct views of attacks, and an additional feral energy to vampire moments. I liked…
My memory of the original film is hazy at best, but if I recall correctly, it was only due of allusions to this remake that I ever knew the original existed. Therefore, I've been eagerly anticipating the Matt Reeves version for quite some time.
What I appreciated about Reeves's effort was that it was not a remake to the original film version, but he took some time to make it his own. While the basic storyline hasn't changed much, the film's overall tone has. This is done by making the movie less grim and focusing on the decadence with something more stunning but "conventional." Like Fraser's work on last year's "The Batman," his efforts here harken back to Fincher's in…
matt reeves, greig fraser and michael giacchino are a very powerful trio i just know they’ve made the best batman movie in cinema history i can feel it
Hollywood remakes of European films can be disastrous affairs. Matt Reeves however managed to take one of the best chillers of the last few years and genuinely not fuck it up.
Let Me In isn't a traditionally scary horror film. That said, it is a creepy, atmospheric little remake with an eerie feel and two very grown up performances from two talented kids. Vampire films have a way of drawing me in. This modern take with a twist is a slow-burner that builds up the tension and the body-count with a relentlessly dark and Gothic feel that's surprisingly effective. Chloe Grace Moretz is both chilling and hauntingly sad as the teenage vampire who longs for a friend. Fed by a…
Let the Right One In (gramma’s spaghetti & meatballs) is easily one of my all time favorites films, and I’ll admit it - I was skeptical when a U.S. remake was announced. Let Me In (egg noodles & ketchup) is pretty good and certainly watchable. They did a great job, but in the long run I’d rather eat my Gramma’s spaghetti & meatballs instead of egg noodles & ketchup
Good evening and welcome fellow Children of Chaos.
Another one on my horror Calendars. And I wonder if my non-American calendar is going to have Let the Right One In on it?
This was an exorcise in tedium. The movie is as soulless as Eli... I mean Abby.
This movie is so pointless. Remakes have issues of having to straddle a fine line. Change too much and you wonder why it's even a remake. You end up with Godzilla 1998. A movie so radically different in scope, idea, style, and genre it is just an attempt to cash in on a famous name.
However this one has the opposite problem. It adhears to the original so much it is pointless.…

Vampirtage die Zehnte (10/4)
Ich wollte dank meines jüngsten Einschießens auf Regisseur Matt Reeves wegen und durch das maßlose overgehypde „The Batman“ wofür selbstredend Mr. Reeves so wenig dafür kann wie ich für mein unverschämt gutes Aussehen, sein US-Remake des zwei Jahre zuvor schienen schwedischen Original in der Luft zerreißen. Was an sich ein Leichtes gewesen wäre, zählt „So finster die Nacht“ nicht nur zu einem der besten Vampirfilmen, sondern hinzukommend und gleichermaßen zu einem der besten Coming-off-Age-Filmen. Doch nach knappen zwei Stunden, muss ich meine anfängliche Intension in den nächstbesten Mülleimer werfen.
Sicherlich die Stärke von „Let Me In“, so auch in allen mir bisher bekannten Regiearbeiten von Matt Reeves, ist sein Können Atmosphäre zu erzeugen.…
"You have to invite me in" -Abby,
Twilight warned us about immortal children.
The American remake of Let the Right One In, one of my favorite horror films, is a story about a sad and isolated young boy who meets a vampire... then stuff gets crazy. Let Me In has a slow and deliberate pace but never leaves you bored because of its interesting characters and slick direction. Ricard Jenkins is great as always, Kodi Smit-McPhee gives a great child performance, and Chloe Grace Moretz does fine because she always does fine. I love the whole creepy subdued vibe that feels really grounded mixed with the chaotic scenes full of violence and some gore. It's a little hokey at times…
Vastly superior to overrated original movie. Matt Reeves is so good at creating tension, depicting violence and capturing the horror of unpleasant situations - I am sure he is gonna give us the darkest Dark Knight yet.
I'm not usually a fan of Michael Giacchino's scores because they are so unremarkable, but here his work was really fantastic. And Reeves actually directed Chloe Grace Moretz to a decent performance which is probably the most impressive accomplishment here.
