Review of Let Me In (2010) by Drnegative — 04 Apr 2011

An excellent film that goes beyond your typical horror film in so many ways. The acting, directing, score, and cinematography were all spot-on in this film. I admired how much attention was paid to the connection between the pre-teen leads and their bond with each other. I never thought I would ever see a "horror" film that would make me look at it as a beautiful romance hidden within....yet also, keep me on the edge of my seat wondering what would happen next.

The picture and audio quality for the Blu-ray were both flawless and I also appreciated the abundant special-features presented on the disc. It is rare that I give repeat viewings for films in such close proximity but with this film I discover something new every time that I didn't catch in the previous viewing. Exhilarating, yet very touching from start to finish and worthy of anyone's collection.

Note: I still to this day have not seen the Swedish version from which this was inspired from, so that may have eliminated any critical bias going into this film. My opinion is based on "this" film, and this film alone.
