Let Me In [2010] vs Let the Right One In [2008]
Since I been sick I have been watching a lot of movies. Last night I saw Let me in (2010), the remake of Swedish original vampire movie Let the Right One In/Låt den rätte komma in from 2008.
I feel so unpatriotic. And with the risk of being deported to Lapland, I must confess I liked the remake better than the original. It had everything the original had; great acting (Chloe “Hit-Girl from Kick-Ass” Moretz and Kodi Smit-McPhee from The Road), suspense, beautiful imagery and loads of snow. But it also took out some stuff and added some in a way I really liked. AND it was scarier.
Sure, you may say it didn’t have the magic of Swedish actor Per Ragnar as the old man but when you cast Richard Jenkins in a movie you never go wrong. That guy could play Jaws. Go rent this one and all the rest he’s done.
And finally, I’m peeing better now. Thanks for caring.
