Let Me In (2010)

Truly Dreadful Film

That was an excellent one.

The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.

Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

The story itself was a rubix cube, and the photo from the photo booth was the first clue. This is where you start to find out how the relationship would insue. The story was that of "A Romeo and Juilet" curse. Were the love feels submerged. Or forbidden, they just don't allow such a love to exist with in two different seasons. One an aged Man, all grown up, but maintaining boyish thoughts. Because the love felt for her kept him on a lock. You find ways to keep your boyish charm, espically if the one you love, never stops holding your arm. The other, was a inquisitive young girl, with ageless eyes. Masking a fully grown vampires mind. Over the years, they had created a cover. I'm her father, and she's my daughter. Years ago though, he must have fell for her hard. This story is loaded with little reminders, back when he was only a boy, but never minders. We are in the present? A time traveler would wonder. Because now we see what must have happened between those two lovers. Even though the story is in the present. I am sure that is what will happen in the future. He has grown old, while her age, never seems to be solved. Do you think in his mind, he had ever questioned what had happened between her and father time? Now, a Life of routine, was all that he would see. Only to find the blood she would need. Like a Gurdian, keeping her safe inside, while he would go out at night. Dawning a dark mask, with holes for the eyes. A role suddenly to be preped for another. This led him to discover and wonder. Maybe I want to be caught. As she has found a new lover, in replacement of this old worker. We see flashing lights just over head, as we hear a passenger talking to a driver. The man in the mask lieing in the back seat, still contemplating; is this the end of me? With a roll and a struggle, the car is pinned, lieing there with a stranger. Who was going to become the young vampires next dinner. It's not everyday a car crash saves a rider. The man knowing his fate opens the mysersous canned jar, as the only way to escape the car would be a can opener. A Splash of acid acrossed his face, a burn, a singe, and no longer appearing apart of the human race. He had finally wished his fate, he had been caught. Now lieing there not putting up a fight. Just outside in the crisp cold air, with snow on the ground, a girl walks into a hosptial, with not a shoe to be found. We see the on call nurse at the desk, asking her self could it get any colder? "I'm looking for my father" was all that the young girl could utter. She didn't want everyone to know that her, and the old man once were lovers. That would only reveal her as a vampire. Time drags on, but like I said there are a lot of reminders. A long time ago when he was a boy, he had met a young vampire. I'm sure, a knock on the window, was all that she needed to convince the boy to let the right one in. Like a unfamialr sound, the knocking pulls him up from his lie down. It must have been ages of time, since he had last heard that sound. She has had permission for so long, until now. But, this time would be the last time. The faceless men with the courage, prepping to walk right up to the ageless vampire. He throws off his blanket, and strolls to the window. A calm cool wisk of wind through the wind, and a question. "Can I come in? The man grasping his throat, signing to her "Nope". The words can't be found, his body has been ripped apart from years of service. But this will not leave her in the lurch. This was not the end of the story, there was a new one to follow around. As the vampires curse in itself, curses all those that fall prey to the spell. That at the end, will always conclude with a fall.

Blablablablablabla blablablablablabla blablablablablabla my favorited movie :)

This film will definitely be in my top 10 vampire movies, along with Nosferatu, Dracula and the Lost Boys, among others. And no, Twilight is not on this list.I've seen both adaptations of the movie, but I much prefer this one. I did see this one first. There are slight differences between the two though - I found the pacing a little faster in this one and some of the plot lines are slightly different. Both Abby and Owen are sympathetic characters - one is brutally bullied and the other is a vampire. Both are lonely, have no friends, and need some level of protection. This is what pulls them together and what strengthens their bond. They also change each other in really basic ways. However, you are left slightly to wonder what Abby's motives are.This film moves along at better pace than the Swedish version and I found myself interested in what was going on throughout. I loved the soundtrack as well - if you like music from the '80s, it will be right up your alley. The make up effects are great and all of the actors did an excellent job - they were totally convincing. I found that a little less so in the Swedish version, however, that may be because of the dubbing. I would absolutely recommend this movie for a horror fan, but be aware that there is not a tremendous amount of gore for the genre. It is, however, a film that is really well done and worth watching.

This is a remake of "Let the right one in"-The original makes some camera and timing mistakes, the remake corrects these--the remake loses the whole meaning of the original, which is a character development of the kind of individual that would wind up serving a vampire its whole lifeThe remake misses this concept completely in typical Hollywood fashion, and then it gets lots of accolades, no surprise thereIn the original the boy has a dark side which the vampire observes and is drawn to, a boy who would never cry out, a boy who has the capacity to killThese characteristics are discarded in the remake, and it gives the ending very little credibilityIn the original good people can and do get killed, in the remake the bad get killedWatch the original, and bypass the Standard Hollywood tripe
