Review of Let Me In (2010) by Tvjerry — 03 Oct 2010
I didn't see the original Swedish version, so this will NOT be a comparison. What I did see was not what I expected. This is NOT a classic vampire flick, but a classy tale about loneliness and isolation.
A 12-year-old boy is bullied at school and desolate at home, until he meets the new girl next door. Their relationship forms the story's emotional center, but the fact that she's a vampire complicates matters.
There are haunting images and moments of intense, bloody attack (and one amazing car wreck), but the tender core of the film elevates it to well-crafted cinema. Never really scary, but powerful just the same.
