Some of you may remember, but definitely do not remember, my gushing over that Swedish vampire film about a year ago. And some of you who do not remember will also remember my semi rant about it being Americanized. Well it's happened. And I'm excited but wary, for a couple reasons.It has shortened its name to Let Me In (apparently too many words is konfusing for us Amurekins) and cast relative unknowns to play the leads. That can be good. It's gonna be directed by the Cloverfield guy, which is a movie I loved, but his "monster-attacks-NYC" film with helicopter crashes and machine gun toting militants is a far leap from the subtle nuances found in the original Let The Right One In, a movie carried solely by two young kids who don't do much else besides exchange pleasantries. And there's a few key scenes that were masterfully done first time round and I'm curious to see if he simply recreates them or foolishly tries to "make them better". So you've still got about 4 and a half months to go see the original, because the good ol' US version comes out beginning of October.
