Review of Let Me In (2010) by Cantandres — 30 Jul 2015

This is an incredibly touching story more of young love, than vampires. Although there are some frightening moments ( enough to satisfy fans of the vampire genre ), it is essentially about the bond between a 12 year old girl and a lonely pre-adolescent boy who is bullied. They need each other. She for him to help her as her 'familiar', and he needs her to protect him. Their individual needs do not, however, lessen the impact of their legitimate feelings for each other. It is a splendid movie well worth the remake of the original.

Both young actors are terrific. Displaying deep sensitive portrayals of their characters. The direction is spot on and the staging of the scenes are virtually characters themselves.
