Genre: Horror/Horreur

Annee/Year: 2010

Format: Blu Ray

Let me in. Why remake a decent movie months after it came out? Damn good question. many people enjoyed more the remake of the movie "Let the right one in" called "Let me in" than the original. Perhaps it is because the movie felt less off center than the original swedish version. I personnaly think that it adds. If you have seen one of the version dont bother with the other as they are almsot identical except the american version emphasized a bit more the aspects that the main character is being bullied by his school peers.

The role of the young boy is played very well by Kodi Smit-Mcfee (The road) and the one of the young vampire girl is played by the excellent Chloe Moretz (Kickass and more). The movie's direction was handled by Matt Reeves (The pall bearer, Cloverfield). The movie tells us the story of a young boy who gets to be friends with a vampire of the same apparent age. She truly becomes his only friend and actually protects him from the school bullies. A meeting of two very lonely souls. Slow paced and without a lot of drama, this movie is very contemplative and definitely not for everyone. Good if you like your horror a bit more cerebral.

Let me in. Un remake d'un film suédois très récent (Let the right one in) et qui est très équivalent à mon humble opinion. Si vous avez déjà visionné l' original, la version américanisée ne vous apportera que très peu. Film vraiment pour les amateurs de film un peu plus cérébral et avec un rythme tres lent. Le film est réalisé par Matt Reeves (Pall bearer, Cloverfield) qui est un bon pote de JJ Abrams. La distribution est excellente et Kodi Smit-Mcfee (The road) y joue le rôle principal du jeune garçon qui devient ami avec une jeune fille vampire aux apparences tres jeune joue par l'excellente Chloe Moretz (Kickass et plus). Cette petite aura un grand futur à Hollywood. Donc pas un film pour tous.
