It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

The story itself was a rubix cube, and the photo from the photo booth was the first clue. This is where you start to find out how the relationship would insue. The story was that of "A Romeo and Juilet" curse. Were the love feels submerged. Or forbidden, they just don't allow such a love to exist with in two different seasons. One an aged Man, all grown up, but maintaining boyish thoughts. Because the love felt for her kept him on a lock. You find ways to keep your boyish charm, espically if the one you love, never stops holding your arm. The other, was a inquisitive young girl, with ageless eyes. Masking a fully grown vampires mind. Over the years, they had created a cover. I'm her father, and she's my daughter. Years ago though, he must have fell for her hard. This story is loaded with little reminders, back when he was only a boy, but never minders. We are in the present? A time traveler would wonder. Because now we see what must have happened between those two lovers. Even though the story is in the present. I am sure that is what will happen in the future. He has grown old, while her age, never seems to be solved. Do you think in his mind, he had ever questioned what had happened between her and father time? Now, a Life of routine, was all that he would see. Only to find the blood she would need. Like a Gurdian, keeping her safe inside, while he would go out at night. Dawning a dark mask, with holes for the eyes. A role suddenly to be preped for another. This led him to discover and wonder. Maybe I want to be caught. As she has found a new lover, in replacement of this old worker. We see flashing lights just over head, as we hear a passenger talking to a driver. The man in the mask lieing in the back seat, still contemplating; is this the end of me? With a roll and a struggle, the car is pinned, lieing there with a stranger. Who was going to become the young vampires next dinner. It's not everyday a car crash saves a rider. The man knowing his fate opens the mysersous canned jar, as the only way to escape the car would be a can opener. A Splash of acid acrossed his face, a burn, a singe, and no longer appearing apart of the human race. He had finally wished his fate, he had been caught. Now lieing there not putting up a fight. Just outside in the crisp cold air, with snow on the ground, a girl walks into a hosptial, with not a shoe to be found. We see the on call nurse at the desk, asking her self could it get any colder? "I'm looking for my father" was all that the young girl could utter. She didn't want everyone to know that her, and the old man once were lovers. That would only reveal her as a vampire. Time drags on, but like I said there are a lot of reminders. A long time ago when he was a boy, he had met a young vampire. I'm sure, a knock on the window, was all that she needed to convince the boy to let the right one in. Like a unfamialr sound, the knocking pulls him up from his lie down. It must have been ages of time, since he had last heard that sound. She has had permission for so long, until now. But, this time would be the last time. The faceless men with the courage, prepping to walk right up to the ageless vampire. He throws off his blanket, and strolls to the window. A calm cool wisk of wind through the wind, and a question. "Can I come in? The man grasping his throat, signing to her "Nope". The words can't be found, his body has been ripped apart from years of service. But this will not leave her in the lurch. This was not the end of the story, there was a new one to follow around. As the vampires curse in itself, curses all those that fall prey to the spell. That at the end, will always conclude with a fall.

I saw the Swedish version, Let the Right One In, years ago and loved it. I finally gave the American version, Let Me In, a chance and I can see why you'd like this movie if you haven't seen the original, but sadly I just found it to be inferior to the Swedish version every step of the way.First of all, so much of the subtlety of Let the Right One In was lost in Let Me In. Let the Right One In allowed us as viewers to figure out certain mysteries on our own, for instance, the disturbing aspect of the true nature of the relationship between the girl and her "father," whereas Let Me In is more content with all but spelling out for us what's going on. I definitely prefer subtlety, since that's so much harder to pull off, so it's impressive when a movie like Let the Right One In manages it.And I don't get the choice of starting off the movie by spoiling something that happens midway through. Doesn't that just ruin the tension of the early part of the movie, by simply letting viewers know where events are headed?It's not just subtlety in storytelling that I admire about the Swedish version, but also in how it was shot. The Swedish version, for instance, used quite a lot of long takes with a stationary camera, especially during the vampire attack action sequences, whereas the same events in the American version tended to be shot with a ton of cuts and shifting camera angles. I get that they were probably going for a more chaotic look, but I found the wide-angle long takes to be more effective, by allowing the horrific events onscreen to sink in, rather than shifting the camera all over the place.Plus the American version makes some questionable use of CGI effects and I'm not even the type of viewer who usually complains about CGI. There was a scene with a fire that somehow looked a whole lot more real in the Swedish movie than in the American movie. And then there's the rubbery-bodied vampire attack scenes. I see what they were going for, making the vampire's movements seem inhuman, but it ends up looking cartoony and silly compared to the Swedish version, which I'm sure opted for real stunt performers instead.And finally, the musical score in movies is very important to me and I'd say the music of Let the Right One In was easily superior to Let Me In. Johan Söderqvist's score was absolutely beautiful, some of my favorite music of any movie, in fact. Listen to the track titled Eli's Theme, if you want to hear an amazing piece of music. Let Me In's score, in contrast, just seemed to be there to set the mood, but doesn't stand out as beautiful music in the same way.Overall, I don't think Let Me In is bad, but I just thought Let the Right One In was so much better.

I went into this uncertain as I found it on Netflix and horror movies on there can be very hit or miss. This one is definitely a gem. This movie combines horror and childhood love in a way that is captivating and very well done. The acting is great; the two child stars really stand out and keep you engaged throughout the movie. The film explores themes such as bullying and loneliness in a very powerful way. There are scenes that are legitimately creepy and then scenes that tug on your heartstrings. The running time is perfect. The movie never really lags and ties everything up very well. I really enjoyed it and would recommend giving it a watch.

Well, it's a very well made remake, i need to admit that (besides the unnecessary CGI). But here is my problem with American remakes of foreign flicks in general: Some people say this movie promotes the original, despite the fact that I didn't see any mentions in it (could have missed it?), so there will be people watching this without even knowing it's a remake. And even if it had mentioned the original, I don't think the best way of doing it is by making another WHOLE movie, for me sounds more like getting the chance to profit on someone else's idea. Besides all that, the original is still quite better in every aspect, what makes this piece totally unnecessary and pointless in my opinion. Well, I recommend you to at least go see the original "Let The Right One In (2008)" first if you are still going through this one, unless subtitles are a big deal for you.
