Let Me In

Jul 05, 2011 09:08

I finally watched Let Me In, the American adaptation of the book Let the Right One In, which upon watching both I feel is unjustly compared to the Swedish adaptation. I think you can't help but compare them to each other, and I understand the outrage of fans of the 'original' movie (though it is at times overblown) but in the end I think they're two different movies about the same book, and Let Me In can't really be called a remake of the Swedish film. The core material is the same, but they have different feels, and have chosen to feature different aspects of the book. I do think Let the Right One In is the better movie, primarily because of some questionable decisions in scoring and special effects for Let Me In, but I think Let Me In might be the darker of the two. Also I'm happy to support any of Chloe Moretz's projects. Have you read any of her interviews? She's wonderful.
