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.

I thought this was pretty good although not a great film. It successfully kept my attention for the whole film and I will say that I enjoyed it. It is predictable but you won't mind the fact that you knew how it would turn out because the story is told so well.There is something about gothy vampires that works so well with teenage angst. Much of the film is about revealing what is going on, and this is handled very well. The film usually doesn't make the mistake of telling you what is going on in the script, it doesn't treat you like an idiot as so many US films do unfortunately.The one regret I have is that at the end of this I wished I'd watched the original film which is called "Let the Right One In" and was made in Sweden in 2008. Generally if there has been a remake in English then I like to watch the original. Now that I've watched "Let Me In" I think it will have spoilt "Let the Right One In". Certainly I can't see myself wanting to watch the Swedish film for over a year now at least.

A-Z Horror Movie of the Day..."Let Me In" (R - 2010 - UK/US)Sub-Genre: Vampire/RebootMy Score: 7.1Cast=6 Acting=7 Plot=8 Ending=7 Story=7 Scare=6 Jump=5 F/X=9 Monster=9 Reboot=7Owen and Abby are lonely souls who find comfort in one another and Abby gives him the strength to face his tormentors. Abby has secrets as well that touch directly on the police investigation. "Then you have to hit back even harder. Hit them harder than you dare and then they will stop." No this is not a PSA on bullying, but it is the American reboot of a great Swedish film!! This was a pretty solid reboot...the only thing missing was the intensity I got from the original. This is definitely worth a watch, but I recommend the original as the better film.

I do not post reviews usually. But this time, I have to as this movie raped the original one. I mean, this one is nothing but a pale copy of "Let the right one in". I bet America is lacking some materials, so they copy amazing movies (just like "Taxi", played in the US by the awful looking Queen Latifah), and turn them into flops... Actors do not know how to act, and the story line is completely the same as the original one. Watching this is a complete waste of time. Well nothing more to say, just avoid it. At least, stream the original with subtitles, which is way better than this one.I watched the original, with the original Swedish voices, and it sounds way deeper and better. I know some of you will feel the need to reply or hit the "not useful" button, but think about : if the original one was not made, at all, would you have this copy to watch ? I do not think so... The bullied kid and the girl vampire, well sounds great if it was not for a bad copy of a great movie. Oskar and Eli were two amazing actors, but the one in the copy are just as bad as the movie itself.
