Let Me In [2010]
Matt Reeves’s version of Swedish arthouse hit Låt den rätte komma in. This American version possesses an even creepier atmosphere, and from the beginning you know it’s much more entertainment-oriented. Although their visuals are similar, this one takes a much more violent approach to what the original did so subtly. The cast is top-notch, with some of the finest child actors working today: Chloë Moretz (Kick-Ass), Kodi Smit McPhee (The Road) and as a much more menacing villain, Dylan Minnette. Let Me In is actually longer than its predecessor, but flies by in comparison.
It was harder to sympathize with the little girl in the original. I actually thought this remake improved on that flaw.

You’re right. All around, the performances were much better and this wasn’t boring, haha.
